Worth knowing

Worth checking before work starts

A few rules and checks that apply to this kind of work.

  1. Building regulations

    In England, refitting a bathroom doesn't generally need building regulations approval, though drainage or electrical work may. A bathroom where there wasn't one before is likely to need it.

  2. Electrical work

    In England, a new circuit, or adding to or altering a circuit in the space around a bath or shower, must be certified under the Building Regulations.

  3. Extractor fans

    In England, when a bathroom is refitted, any existing extractor fan should be kept or replaced. A newly added bathroom should have extract ventilation.

  4. Large baths and bidets

    Fitting a bath that holds more than 230 litres, or a bidet with an upward spray or flexible hose, must be notified to your water supplier before work starts.

Questions

Bathroom questions

My job isn't in the list. What should I choose?

Choose the closest job, then explain what you need in the description step.

What jobs can I request quotes for here?

Bathroom design, supply and fitting, wet rooms, disabled bathrooms and showers, bath resurfacing, cladding, mastic sealant, and bathroom showrooms and suppliers. The full list is in the form's first step.

Do I need planning permission for a new bathroom?

In England, not usually, unless it is part of an extension. If your home is a listed building, check with your planning authority.

Can I get a grant for a level access shower?

In England and Wales, if you're disabled, your council may be able to give you a Disabled Facilities Grant for one. Don't start work before it approves your application. Check if you're eligible on GOV.UK.

Can I request quotes to reseal around a bath or shower?

Yes. Choose Bathroom Mastic Sealant and say which seals need replacing in the description.

How much does a new bathroom cost?

It depends on the room's size, the suite and tiles you choose, whether anything moves, such as the toilet or shower, and how much plumbing, electrical work and making good is needed. Ask each fitter to quote for the same design, so the quotes compare.
