Bathroom fitting in Penn

What should you know before starting in Penn?

Work like this in Penn rarely needs planning permission, but parts of the job must meet Building Regulations — certified electrical work, ventilation or energy-efficiency standards, for example. Your quote shows how each part is signed off. If planning does come into it, say for a listed building, City of Wolverhampton Council is the authority.

Combi boilers and unvented cylinders usually support a good mixer shower without a pump.
Creating a bathroom in a room that didn't have one is likely to need Building Regulations approval, from City of Wolverhampton 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.

Which option fits your home?

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.

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 Penn?

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.

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 Penn?
