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. In Wallsend, a town of around 45,000 people in Tyne and Wear, the work is planned around the HMO rules for England and the council’s written HMO standards.
