Bathroom Fitting in Edenbridge
Bathroom and shower room refits planned around layout, waterproofing and keeping disruption short.
A bathroom refit packs plumbing, electrics, waterproofing, tiling and carpentry into a small room that the household cannot easily do without. Careful planning and a clear sequence make the difference between a smooth refit and weeks of disruption.
One Stop Build & Landscaping fits bathrooms and shower rooms across the Edenbridge area, coordinating the supporting trades so you deal with one person from strip-out to the final silicone.
Choosing a layout
| Option | Good for | Things to consider |
|---|---|---|
| Bath with shower over | Families and smaller rooms | Screen or curtain, tiling height |
| Walk-in shower | Easy access and a modern look | Tray or level floor, screen size, splash zone |
| Wet room style | Accessibility and small rooms | Full waterproofing, floor falls to the drain |
Keeping the toilet, basin and bath in their current positions usually costs least, because waste and supply pipes stay put. Swapping a bath for a walk-in shower, adding a second basin or moving the toilet is often possible but depends on routes for waste pipes, which need a fall to drain. Rob will tell you what each option involves.
What a refit involves
- Strip-out of sanitaryware, tiles and old boards
- First-fix plumbing and electrics by qualified colleagues
- Preparing walls and floors, and waterproofing wet areas
- Fitting bath or shower tray, toilet, basin and furniture
- Wall and floor tiling, then second-fix and silicone
- Extractor fan and lighting suitable for bathroom zones
Waterproofing, ventilation and safety
Showers and wet areas should be properly tanked beneath the tiles, not just grouted. Building Regulations require an extractor fan in bathrooms, and electrical work in bathrooms is notifiable and must respect the zones around baths and showers. These details are invisible once finished but determine whether the room lasts.
Cost, timing and disruption
Room size, layout changes, product choices, the amount of tiling, the condition of floors and walls, and whether a wet-room floor is needed all affect cost. If it is your only bathroom, Rob will plan the work to keep a toilet working for as much of the time as possible and tell you when water will be off.
