Bathroom Renovation High Wycombe

A new bathroom is a drainage job with tiling over it. Waste runs, ventilation, waterproofing and electrical zones all have to be right before anything is tiled, because opening it back up afterwards means starting the finish again. We run the whole job under one contract and make the building control application where the work needs one.

For High Wycombe, on London-derived ranges a full bathroom refit typically costs £6,000 to £20,000 or more; Buckinghamshire work generally runs below that. GS Renovation Ltd, a building contractor based in Potters Bar, does the work in High Wycombe: we carry the tanking, plumbing and tiling as one contract, with the electrics certified by a registered electrician.

How the job runs

1. Free design visit at your High Wycombe home and an itemised quote.
2. Strip-out, then first-fix plumbing and electrics.
3. Tanking to the wet areas, then tiling.
4. Sanitaryware and second fix, with notifiable electrics certified by a registered electrician.

A new bathroom, shower or toilet can be applied for by building notice

Buckinghamshire Council lists a new bathroom, shower or toilet, along with new drainage or connection to a sewer, as work that can be applied for by building notice rather than by full plans.

That matters where a bathroom moves rather than being replaced in place. A new waste run, a soil connection, or a WC in a room that never had one, all bring the application into play. We make the notice, hold the drainage open for the inspection, and tile only once it has been seen.

Get at least three written quotations and check each one covers everything

Buckinghamshire Council advises homeowners to obtain at least 3 written quotations for building work, and to check that each one covers all the work. The second half of that advice is where bathroom quotations separate from one another.

Waterproofing behind the tiling, the extract fan and its ducting, making good the ceiling below where a waste run moves, and taking the old suite away are all straightforward to leave out of a headline figure. Our quotations set out what is included and what is not, so a comparison is like for like. They are free and carry no obligation.

• Soil pipe and waste re-routing within the floor build-up
• Walk-in showers and wet-room installation
• Tanking membranes and waterproof boards behind tiles
