Would anyone advise on a builder who could quote for this, please? I think it is reasonably straightforward and just involves moving things around in quite a small bathroom to accommodate a washing machine too. We also need advice on any approvals we need to apply for so the builder needs to be conversant with building regs. Thank you.

So it's not actually a bathroom (no bath/shower), more of a toilet? Is that right?

Sorry, yes, it is a loo and whb currently.

Red devil, yes, we aren't totally behind the curve and had worked out the water and electrical issue plus the need for a suitably qualified individual.

Now, I am abit demoralised. It seemed like an easy task at first. Now, mountains of paperwork at best.

What paperwork dg2? It's just a matter of knowing what can be done and how it can be done. I guess the most that's required is that the electrics are outside the room, so the cable goes through a wall or partition. The fact that what you are really talking about is a toilet and a basin.........well it's not much different to a kitchen where most people have their w/machines i.e in terms of water.

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
