Bathroom fitting in Coventry

Planning your new bathroom in Coventry

Live in a conservation area or a listed building in Coventry? Check with Coventry City 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.

Creating a bathroom in a room that didn't have one is likely to need Building Regulations approval, from Coventry City Council or a registered building control approver.
Moving the toilet is the hardest change, because its waste pipe needs a direct route and fall to the soil stack.
Electrical work near a bath or shower is often notifiable under Part P.

Options to consider in Coventry

Like-for-like refit

The new suite goes where the old one was, using the existing water and waste positions. It's the quickest and most affordable option, and it's often all a bathroom needs. Tiling, flooring, furniture and the shower choice can all change completely while the plumbing stays essentially the same.

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.

Your questions answered

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.
