A shared bathroom refit replaces worn or failing bathrooms in an HMO with hard-wearing, easy-clean ones: good extraction, waterproofing, thermostatic showers and finishes that stand up to several users a day. Shrewsbury is 31 miles south-west of Stoke-on-Trent. We price shared bathroom and shower room refits there against England’s HMO rules and the council’s written HMO standards, so work is planned to the standard an inspection looks for. Shrewsbury has a university population, so many shared houses are let to students on yearly tenancies, and summer is the main window for works.

Which rules apply in Shrewsbury?
The rules below are the England-wide position for this kind of work. Councils add their own standards and schemes on top, so we always check the address in Shrewsbury before we price.
- Council standards often step up at 5 and 6 sharers, for example a separate WC at 5 and a second bathroom from 6.
- Councils can fine up to £7,000 where a Category 1 hazard is not removed when it reasonably could have been.
- Electrical installations must be inspected and tested at least every 5 years; remedial work is due within 28 days, or sooner if the report says so.
