Bathroom Renovations in Hove

Bathroom renovations in Hove from strip out to final seal. Plumbing, electrics, waterproofing and tiling all meet in a small space, so the order of work and the hidden detail decide how long the room lasts.

Waterproofing Before Tiling

Tiles and grout are not waterproof on their own. Behind them we use tanking or waterproof board in wet areas, especially inside a shower. This is hidden work you never see, and it is the difference between a bathroom lasting fifteen years and failing in three.

Layout in a Small Bathroom

Moving a toilet is the expensive change, because the soil pipe has to run at the right fall. Basins and showers are easier to shift. In a small room, a wall hung basin and a walk in shower usually buy back the most floor space.

Ventilation and Damp

Most black mould in a bathroom is a ventilation problem, not a cleaning one. An extractor has to be the right rate for the room and ducted outside rather than into a loft. We fit humidity sensing fans with an overrun so the room dries after use.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a bathroom renovation take in Hove?

Two to three weeks for a standard family bathroom. Strip out and first fix take the first few days, then waterproofing, tiling and drying time, then second fix and sealing. Moving the toilet or changing the layout adds several days to that.

Can I use the bathroom during the work?

Not the one being renovated. If it is your only bathroom, we can usually keep the toilet working for most of the job and give you a few days notice of when it comes out. Many clients arrange a temporary shower elsewhere for that week.

What is the most common bathroom renovation mistake?

Skipping the waterproofing behind the tiles to save a few days. The second is fitting an extractor too weak for the room. Both are hidden, both cost little to do properly at the time, and both are expensive to put right later.
