A new bathroom, planned properly before the first tile comes off
A bathroom installation covers the whole job. The old suite comes out, the pipework is checked and altered where needed, and the new bath, shower, toilet and basin go in. We then test everything before you use it.
Tell-tale signs it's time: tired grout that keeps blackening, a bath or shower tray that flexes or leaks, damp patches on the ceiling below, taps that no longer seal, or a layout that never worked for the way you live.
We'll talk through the options with you. Walk-in shower or over-bath shower, wall-hung or close-coupled toilet, acrylic or steel bath, tiles or waterproof wall panels. We'll tell you plainly what suits your home and budget, and what's not worth paying extra for.
Plumbing and installation are our job. Tiling, plastering and decorating can be included in the quote if you'd like them, so you're not juggling trades.

How we fit a bathroom so it stays watertight
Most bathroom problems in later years come from rushed first-fix work and poor waterproofing. This is the order we follow.
- 1
Survey and written quote
We check your pipework, water pressure, floor and walls, agree the layout and give you a clear quote. Nothing is added afterwards without your say-so.
- 2
Strip-out and first fix
We isolate the water, remove the old suite and run new supply and waste pipes. Waste falls are set correctly so basins and baths drain cleanly, and any hidden damage is shown to you before we carry on.
- 3
Waterproofing and finishing
Shower areas are sealed with a tanking system or proper waterproof boarding before any tiles or panels go up. Any new electrical circuit or lighting work is done by a qualified electrician to BS 7671.

Second fix, testing and handover
We fit the sanitaryware, taps and shower, then pressure-test and check every joint. Before we leave, we show you the stop tap and how everything works, and clear up.

Bathroom installation: what people ask first
How long does a bathroom installation take?
It depends on the size, the layout changes and whether tiling and plastering are included. We'll give you a realistic timescale in your quote, and tell you early if anything unexpected turns up.
What affects the cost of a new bathroom?
The main factors are the size of the room, the quality of the suite and taps, whether the layout moves, the type of shower, tiling, and any repairs needed to pipes, floors or walls. We'll explain each in your written quote.
Can I keep my bathroom layout the same?
Yes, and it's often the cheapest route as the existing pipework can often be reused. Moving the toilet needs a new soil pipe route, so it's worth planning that early.
Do I need Building Regulations approval?
Not for like-for-like replacements, but some work is covered. New electrical circuits, changes to drainage and ventilation, and work on a gas appliance all have rules. We'll tell you what applies to your job.
Will my water pressure be enough for the shower I want?
We check pressure and flow at the survey. Mixer showers, power showers and thermostatic options suit different systems, so we'll recommend one that works with what you have.
How do I look after the new bathroom?
Keep the silicone sealant in good condition and re-seal if it splits or blackens. Use non-abrasive cleaners, descale showerheads, and know where your stop tap is. Call us if anything weeps or drips.
