Where there's no openable window, the fan should run on for around 15 minutes after the light goes off.

Choices to weigh up in Perton

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.

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.

Questions about bathroom fitting in Perton

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.

Do you cover Perton?

Yes. Perton (WV6) is about 10 miles from our West Bromwich base and inside the area we cover. Call 0800 088 6248 or send the form on this page to book a free survey.

How long does a bathroom refit take?

Most refits take 7–12 working days. Strip-out and first fix take two or three days, tiling is usually the longest stage, and second fix and sealing take a day or two. Large-format tiles, layout changes and underfloor heating add time. We give you a day-by-day outline before work starts, so you know when each stage happens.

Who approves bathroom fitting in Perton?

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