Bathroom fitting in Rowley Regis

Planning your new bathroom in Rowley Regis

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 Rowley Regis, building control is provided by Sandwell Council or a registered building control approver (formerly an approved inspector).

Tile adhesive and grout need time to cure before the shower is used, so allow for it in the programme.
Combi boilers and unvented cylinders usually support a good mixer shower without a pump.
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 Rowley Regis

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.

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.
