Frinton-on-Sea gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote.

If your Frinton-on-Sea bathroom is upstairs, the stairs and landing are protected before anything heavy comes down.
Supplies across most of Essex are very hard. Hard water leaves white marks on dark grout and gloss tiles, so matt finishes and stain-resistant grout are the practical choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier
- Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories
- Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks
- The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off
Decisions to make first
Keep or lose the plaster
Tiles often come off leaving plaster that can be tiled again. If the plaster comes away with them, the wall is boarded or re-plastered.
Salvage
If you want to keep a cast-iron bath, a radiator or a piece of furniture, say so before we start, so it comes out whole rather than in pieces.
Rules that apply in England
In England, stripping out a bathroom does not need planning permission or building regulations approval in itself. Building regulations come in with what follows, such as new drainage under Part H or new circuits under Part P.
