Working in Shipley

We cover every part of Shipley, including BD10, BD17 and BD18, and nearby Baildon (1.3 miles) and Bradford (2.8 miles).

Homes in and around Shipley vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We measure small bathrooms in Shipley to the centimetre before quoting, because 50 mm can decide whether a larger tray fits. If the door of your Shipley bathroom opens inwards and catches the basin, re-hanging it or fitting a sliding door is often part of the plan.

Supplies across most of West Yorkshire are soft. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Recessed niches, mirror cabinets and wall-hung vanity units to get storage off the floor
Space-saving sanitaryware: a short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact or semi-recessed basin
Shorter, narrower or shower baths where a full 1700 mm bath does not sit well
Strip-out, waste removal, testing and a clean handover

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Is the water hard in Shipley?

What makes a small bathroom look bigger?

Showing more floor and fewer edges makes a small bathroom look bigger. Wall-hung WCs and vanities, a single clear glass panel instead of a framed enclosure, larger tiles with matching grout, and the same floor tile running into the shower all help. A wide mirror on the basin wall bounces light around the room.
