Working in Birmingham

As well as Birmingham itself (B1, B2, B3 and 39 more postcode districts), we survey in Smethwick, West Bromwich and Shirley.

Birmingham is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. We measure small bathrooms in Birmingham to the centimetre before quoting, because 50 mm can decide whether a larger tray fits. If the door of your Birmingham bathroom opens inwards and catches the basin, re-hanging it or fitting a sliding door is often part of the plan.

Supplies across the West Midlands range from soft to hard depending on the source. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Two or three layout options, each priced, so you can compare keeping the bath with a walk-in shower
Shorter, narrower or shower baths where a full 1700 mm bath does not sit well
Boarding, tanking and tiling, with larger tiles where they suit the walls to cut down grout lines
Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified

Decisions to make first

Keep the bath or go walk-in

A 1500 or 1600 mm bath keeps a bath in a short room. A walk-in shower with a single glass panel opens up the floor and makes the room read as larger.

Tiles and grout

Larger tiles with a grout close to the tile colour make walls look calmer. Running the same floor tile into the shower makes the floor look continuous.

Rules that apply in England

In England, changes to the wiring in a room with a bath or shower are notifiable under Part P, so use an electrician registered with a competent person scheme. If you replace the extractor fan, do not fit one that extracts less than the old one; Approved Document F gives 15 litres per second for an intermittent bathroom fan.

Small bathrooms in Birmingham: questions

How much does a small bathroom cost in Birmingham?

A small bathroom in Birmingham usually costs £4,400–£8,300 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Do you cover B1 in Birmingham?

Yes. We cover all of Birmingham, including B1, B2, B3, B4 and 38 more postcode districts, and nearby Smethwick, West Bromwich and Shirley. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Birmingham?

Who handles building control for a small bathroom in Birmingham?

Building control for Birmingham is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Is it worth taking the bath out of a small bathroom?

It is worth it if nobody in the house uses the bath. A walk-in shower in the same space gives more standing room, a lower step and a more open floor. If it is the only bath in a family home, consider keeping one, perhaps a 1500 or 1600 mm bath with a shower over it. Our small bathroom ideas guide covers more options.
