What should you know before starting in Fazeley?
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 Fazeley, building control is provided by Lichfield District 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 Lichfield District Council or a registered building control approver.
- Waterproof panels can go up faster than tiles and have no grout lines to clean.
- Tile adhesive and grout need time to cure before the shower is used, so allow for it in the programme.

Choices to weigh up in Fazeley
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.
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.

Before you book in Fazeley
What guarantees come with a new bathroom?
Baths, trays, toilets, taps, showers and furniture carry manufacturers' guarantees, and their terms are set out in your quote. Some shower manufacturers ask for an annual service or a registration after installation, and we'll tell you if yours does. You'll receive the electrical certificate for any notifiable work. If anything we fitted isn't right, call us.
How do I book a survey in Fazeley?
Send the form on this page, use the guide-price tool or call 0800 088 6248 free. We'll ask a few questions about your new bathroom and arrange a time to visit.
Should I choose a mixer shower or an electric shower?
It depends on your hot water system and water pressure. A combi boiler or unvented cylinder usually gives a good mixer shower. Low-pressure gravity systems may need a pump, or an electric shower may be simpler, though that needs a dedicated circuit, which is notifiable work. We test pressure and flow at the survey and recommend what will actually perform.
Who approves bathroom fitting in Fazeley?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Fazeley is provided by Lichfield District Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
