Working in Shoreham-by-Sea

In Shoreham-by-Sea we cover BN42 and BN43; we also cover Lancing, 2.1 miles away, and Portslade.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Shoreham-by-Sea: free survey, written quote, one team. If the door of your Shoreham-by-Sea bathroom opens inwards and catches the basin, re-hanging it or fitting a sliding door is often part of the plan. For a small Shoreham-by-Sea bathroom with no window, a quiet extractor fan on an overrun timer does more for the room than any tile choice.

Supplies across most of West Sussex are hard. 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

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
Two or three layout options, each priced, so you can compare keeping the bath with a walk-in shower
Strip-out, waste removal, testing and a clean handover

Decisions to make first

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.

Door

Re-hanging the door to open outwards, or fitting a sliding door, frees the space behind it. In a very small room this alone can make space for a bigger shower.

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.

Wall-hung or floor-standing toilet in a small bathroom?

A wall-hung toilet makes a small bathroom look larger and is easier to clean around, because the floor runs underneath it. It needs a concealed frame inside a false wall or boxing roughly 150 to 200 mm deep, which can often go where pipe boxing already sits. A back-to-wall pan in a slim furniture unit is a good middle option.
