Make room for your new bathroom floor
Replacing or adding flooring can change the height beneath a bathroom door. Where there is not enough clearance, careful trimming may help the door open and close smoothly. It is a small but important finishing detail to consider when planning bathroom work in Braunton.
Plan for door clearance in your Braunton bathroom
Whether you are updating a bathroom in a Braunton home or completing a wider renovation, consider how the finished floor level will affect the door. The right approach depends on the existing door, the flooring and the amount of clearance needed. Raise this with us when discussing your bathroom project so the detail can be considered alongside the other work.
A careful finish around the door
Door trimming involves reducing the bottom edge of a door where extra clearance is needed for the new floor. The amount to remove should be assessed carefully: too little may leave the door catching, while unnecessary cutting can affect the door’s finish or construction. We can discuss whether trimming is suitable for your door and bathroom work, with the aim of achieving practical clearance and a tidy result.

Common Questions
When should I arrange door trimming during a bathroom renovation?
Raise it when planning the flooring, so the finished floor height and door clearance can be considered together. The door should be assessed once the relevant measurements are clear.
Can every bathroom door be trimmed?
Not necessarily. Suitability depends on the door’s construction, finish and how much material would need to be removed. We can discuss your door before recommending an approach.
Do I need door trimming if I am replacing bathroom flooring in Braunton?
Only if the new floor leaves insufficient clearance for the door to open freely. The change in floor height and the existing gap beneath the door will determine whether trimming is needed.
