Where there's no openable window, the fan should run on for around 15 minutes after the light goes off.
Tile adhesive and grout need time to cure before the shower is used, so allow for it in the programme.
Waterproof panels can go up faster than tiles and have no grout lines to clean.

Which options suit homes in Pelsall?

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.

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.

How much should you budget in Pelsall?

For a home in Pelsall, our guide range is £4,500–£16,000 depending on size and specification. Full refit of a 2 m × 2.5 m family bathroom with a bath and shower over, tiled: usually £6,500–£8,500.

Before you book in Pelsall

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.

How do I book a survey in Pelsall?

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.

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.

Will I need permission from the council in Pelsall?

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