Options to consider in Leamington Spa
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 Leamington Spa: 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 Leamington Spa do you work in?
We cover CV32 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Leamington Spa, neighbouring Warwick and Kenilworth are covered too.
