Options to consider in Walmley
Layout change
Moving the toilet, bath or shower can make a small bathroom work much better. The toilet is the hardest to move because its large waste pipe needs a direct route and fall to the soil stack. Water supplies and smaller wastes are easier to reroute, especially under timber floors, where joists can be drilled within safe limits.
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.

We cover B76 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Walmley, neighbouring Erdington and Castle Vale 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.
Does Birmingham City Council need to approve my new bathroom?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Walmley is provided by Birmingham City Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
