Bathroom fitting in Bedworth

Before your new bathroom in Bedworth

This kind of work rarely needs planning permission, but it does have to comply with Building Regulations, and some parts must be certified by a registered installer or signed off by building control. In Bedworth, building control is provided by Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council or a registered building control approver (formerly an approved inspector).

Creating a bathroom in a room that didn't have one is likely to need Building Regulations approval, from Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council or a registered building control approver.
Combi boilers and unvented cylinders usually support a good mixer shower without a pump.
Tile adhesive and grout need time to cure before the shower is used, so allow for it in the programme.

Layout change

Moving the toilet, bath or shower can make a small bathroom work much better. The toilet is the hardest to move because its large waste pipe needs a direct route and fall to the soil stack. Water supplies and smaller wastes are easier to reroute, especially under timber floors, where joists can be drilled within safe limits.

Walk-in shower instead of a bath

Replacing the bath with a large low-profile tray and a glass panel makes the room feel bigger and is easier to step into. The waste needs a suitable fall, which can be tricky on timber floors, so the tray position and height are planned carefully. It's worth thinking about whether you'll want a bath when you sell.

Bathroom fitting in Bedworth: common questions

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 Bedworth do you work in?

We cover CV12 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Bedworth, neighbouring Nuneaton and Walsgrave 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.

Does Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council need to approve my new bathroom?

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