- Moving the toilet is the hardest change, because its waste pipe needs a direct route and fall to the soil stack.
- Waterproof panels can go up faster than tiles and have no grout lines to clean.
- Where there's no openable window, the fan should run on for around 15 minutes after the light goes off.

Options to consider in Wythall
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.
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.

Questions about bathroom fitting in Wythall
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.

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.
Who approves bathroom fitting in Wythall?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Wythall is provided by Bromsgrove District Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
