Small bathroom renovation in Bromley
Making tight Victorian and flat bathrooms work harder — layout, storage and light, not just new tiles.
Small bathrooms in Bromley are usually the *second* bathroom — the original separate WC being upgraded to a cloakroom or micro-shower-room, or a Beckenham mansion-flat bathroom that has not been touched since the 1970s. The mansion flats need care: solid floors, communal stacks with set connection points, and porters who want method statements. The 1930s separate WC converts beautifully into a shower room for teenagers or guests — it already has the stack connection, which is the expensive part solved.
The houses we see in Bromley
The core is 1930s semi-detached — bay fronts, mock-Tudor gables, a family bathroom over the hall and a separate WC beside it. Petts Wood and West Wickham add chalet bungalows with bathrooms downstairs and loft rooms above. Bickley and Shortlands have larger Victorian and Edwardian villas, often with two or three bathrooms already. Beckenham mixes Victorian terraces with mansion flats. What almost all of it shares: original gravity hot-water systems in various states of replacement, and lofts that have either been converted or are about to be.
What small bathrooms involves
A small bathroom renovation in south London costs £4,000–£6,500 excluding VAT and takes one to two weeks. Most south London bathrooms are small — the back-addition bathroom of a Victorian terrace is typically under 4m² — and the wins are layout moves: a short-projection toilet, wall-hung basin, over-bath shower or walk-in tray, and every centimetre of wall used for storage.
This is for you if
- The bathroom is under 4m² and feels cramped however clean it is
- A bulky airing cupboard or old layout is eating half the room
- You want a shower but think the room is too small for one
- The only storage is a wobbly freestanding cabinet
- A dark internal bathroom with no window
- A rental flat bathroom that needs to survive tenants
What's included
- Layout options drawn before you commit — usually three ways to use the room
- Space-saving sanitaryware: short-projection WCs, wall-hung basins, sliding glass
- Built-in storage in the dead zones — over the door, in stud walls, boxed pipework
- Light-maximising finishes: large mirrors, reflective tiles, glass over solid
- Proper extraction sized for a small volume — the mould killer
- Full strip-out to fit-out in one to two weeks
The standard we work to
Same regulations as any bathroom: Part P electrics in zones, Part F ventilation — small rooms need the extractor most.
