What should you know before starting in Nuneaton?
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 Nuneaton, building control is provided by Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council or a registered building control approver (formerly an approved inspector).
- Combi boilers and unvented cylinders usually support a good mixer shower without a pump.
- Where there's no openable window, the fan should run on for around 15 minutes after the light goes off.
- Moving the toilet is the hardest change, because its waste pipe needs a direct route and fall to the soil stack.

Choices to weigh up in Nuneaton
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.
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.

Questions about bathroom fitting in Nuneaton
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 Nuneaton do you work in?
We cover CV11 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Nuneaton, neighbouring Bedworth and Atherstone are covered too.
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.
Will I need permission from the council in Nuneaton?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Nuneaton is provided by Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
