Bathroom fitting in Aldridge

What should you know before starting in Aldridge?

Live in a conservation area or a listed building in Aldridge? Check with Walsall Council before changing the outside of your home. Otherwise the main rules for your new bathroom are Building Regulations, and we'll explain at the survey which certificates you'll receive.

Tile adhesive and grout need time to cure before the shower is used, so allow for it in the programme.
Electrical work near a bath or shower is often notifiable under Part P.
Moving the toilet is the hardest change, because its waste pipe needs a direct route and fall to the soil stack.

Which option fits your home?

Bath with shower over

Still the most practical layout for many family bathrooms, especially with young children. A shower over the bath needs a fixed glass screen, a well-sealed bath and tiling or panelling to full height. Choosing between a mixer shower and an electric shower depends on your boiler and water pressure, which we test at the survey.

Panels or tiles

Large-format tiles look smart but need flat walls, careful setting out and waterproofing in the shower area. Waterproof wall panels go up faster, have fewer grout lines and can be fitted over sound existing surfaces. Many bathrooms mix the two, with panels in the shower and tiles elsewhere to suit both budget and look.

Questions about bathroom fitting in Aldridge

What if it's our only bathroom?

We plan around it. The toilet can usually be refitted temporarily at the end of most days, or put back early in the programme, so you're not without one overnight. The shower and bath will be out of use for most of the job, so it's worth arranging somewhere to shower, with family or at a gym, for a week or so.

Which postcodes in Aldridge do you work in?

We cover WS9 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Aldridge, neighbouring Rushall and Walsall Wood are covered too.

How long does a bathroom refit take?

Most refits take 7–12 working days. Strip-out and first fix take two or three days, tiling is usually the longest stage, and second fix and sealing take a day or two. Large-format tiles, layout changes and underfloor heating add time. We give you a day-by-day outline before work starts, so you know when each stage happens.

Who approves bathroom fitting in Aldridge?

You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Aldridge is provided by Walsall Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
