Working in Trowbridge

As well as Trowbridge itself (BA14), we survey in Westbury, Melksham and Bath.

In Trowbridge, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If nobody in your Trowbridge 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 you live in a terrace or semi in Trowbridge with a compact bathroom, swapping a pedestal basin and close-coupled WC for wall-hung pieces is often the biggest single gain.

Supplies across most of Wiltshire 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

Recessed niches, mirror cabinets and wall-hung vanity units to get storage off the floor
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

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.

Storage

Recess shelves into stud walls or boxing, put a mirror cabinet over the basin and use the wall above the WC. Avoid floor-standing units in very tight rooms.

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 Trowbridge?

Who handles building control for a small bathroom in Trowbridge?

Building control for Trowbridge 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 Trowbridge.

How small can a bathroom be?

There is no legal minimum size for a bathroom in an existing home; the limit is what you can use comfortably. A shower room with an 800 mm tray, a compact basin and a WC can work in about 2 m². A room with a bath needs at least one wall as long as the bath, usually 1500 to 1700 mm, plus space in front of the WC and basin.
