Working in Horsham

In Horsham we cover RH12; we also cover Crawley, 7.2 miles away, and Horley.

Homes in and around Horsham vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If nobody in your Horsham home has used the bath in years, we can price a walk-in shower layout next to a shorter bath so you can compare. If your Horsham bathroom is a box room over the stairs, the first job is finding out where the soil stack lets the WC sit.

Most of West Sussex has hard water. We plan easy-clean glass, rimless toilets and finishes that do not show limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Strip-out, waste removal, testing and a clean handover
Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
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

Decisions to make first

WC type

A short-projection close-coupled WC sits closer to the wall than a standard pan. A wall-hung WC on a concealed frame shows the floor beneath it and is easier to clean around.

Glass

Clear glass with a slim profile or none lets the eye travel through the room. A fixed panel needs no clearance for a door to swing.

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.

More about small bathrooms

Small bathrooms in Horsham: questions

How much should I budget for a small bathroom in Horsham?

A small bathroom in Horsham usually costs £5,000–£9,500 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Who handles building control for a small bathroom in Horsham?

Building control for Horsham 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.

How long does a small bathroom take?

Allow 5–8 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Horsham.

Is the home survey in Horsham really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Can you fit a shower bath in a small bathroom?

Yes, a shower bath is one of the most useful fittings in a small bathroom. The wider end under the shower gives you more room to stand, and a curved or angled screen keeps the water in. Shower baths come in shorter lengths, so one can often replace a standard bath in the same position.
