• Not really seeing the answer here so I'll ask it explicitly. How do I bathroom?

    The one in the loft extension has a toilet, shower and sink. I want roughly the same out of a new bathroom up there but with potentially a slightly larger shower. The current shower is disconnected as it leaked like a drive and fucked the ceiling below. There was/is a shower pump in the airing cupboard where the hot water tank is on the floor below. I would obviously want/need that to be reconnected/replaced to even get hot water upstairs, and maybe even provide greater pressure to the bath on the same floor as the tank.

    Who do I speak to for the whole thing? General builder? Plumber? Bathroom specialist? I have no idea about styling or decoration so hoping for help with that too.

  • You probably want a plumber/heating engineer for the boiler part and then a bathroom fitter for the other part.
    What sort of shape/size is the room? @chrisbmx116 Will knock you something up in Figma on his lunch break tomorrow

  • As @Tenderloin said, you'll prob be best off with a specialist boiler/heating person and a bathroom fitter.

    Reg water pressure, a couple of options as you don't have a combo, I hear good things about Salamander pumps.

    Reg style, thats all subjective and only you can answer that. My usual thought process is... (Based on period of house) Sympathetic or not, and then after that if the later what contemporary style.

  • As others have said a specialist will yield better results. I had my old bathroom done by a general builder. It wasn't badly done, but undoubtedly a specialist would have done a better job. They will likely fit things better, and do better jobs of things like tiling. Most will have a plumber they work with too.

    For my current house I'm having to get a high pressure unvented cylinder to ensure that the top floor bathroom gets sufficient pressure. This will also help with pressure if you have a couple of taps on at once.
