Bathroom fitters for 1930s semi homes in Tudorville

The 1930s semi is one of the most common UK property types and the bathroom layout barely varies — a small first-floor room above the front porch, basin under the window, bath against one wall, WC opposite. The good news: predictable. The challenge: small.

Pro tips for 1930s semi bathrooms

  • 1Replace the bath-under-window with a shower bath and use a fixed glass screen — keeps the layout, modernises the feel
  • 2Move the basin onto the WC wall in a vanity unit to gain elbow space
  • 3Always check supply pipe condition with a flow test — galvanised pipes should be replaced as part of the job
