Bathroom fitting in Earlsdon

What should you know before starting in Earlsdon?

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 Earlsdon, building control is provided by Coventry City 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 Coventry City Council or a registered building control approver.
Tile adhesive and grout need time to cure before the shower is used, so allow for it in the programme.
Combi boilers and unvented cylinders usually support a good mixer shower without a pump.

Which options suit homes in Earlsdon?

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 Earlsdon

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 Earlsdon do you work in?

We cover CV5 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Earlsdon, neighbouring Allesley and Tile Hill are covered too.

How do I get ready for the bathroom fitters?

Clear the bathroom completely, including the cabinets and the airing cupboard if it's in the room. Make space on the landing or in a spare room for deliveries. Decide on things like towel radiator size and mirror position before first fix, because cables and pipes are placed early. Let us know about parking and access for the skip or waste.

Who approves bathroom fitting in Earlsdon?

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