What’s included when we fit your bathroom
A bathroom is the most detail-heavy room in the house, and the parts that matter most are the ones you never see — the waterproofing and the pipework. We take it from rip-out to the final seal as one job, with one team responsible for the lot.
You choose the suite, we fit it.
Buy your suite, shower, tiles and brassware from wherever suits — B&Q, Wickes, Victoria Plum, a bathroom showroom or an independent — or hand us a list and we’ll sort it. Either way it’s checked and on site before we start, so nothing stalls halfway waiting on a missing waste or the wrong trap.
Practical advice at the site visit, no design fees.
We’re fitters, not a design studio, but when we measure up we’ll tell you honestly what’s worth doing: whether losing a bath nobody uses for a walk-in shower makes sense, where the basin works best, what a re-plan would involve. Useful advice, free, no pressure.
The wet work done right and out of sight.
Strip-out, re-routing waste and supply pipes, first-fix plumbing and electrics, and — the part that matters most — fully waterproofing wet areas before a single tile goes on. Then tiling, the suite, shower, screen and brassware, underfloor heating, extraction, lighting and decoration.
Family-run, one of us throughout.
The one who quotes your bathroom is the one who fits and seals it. No showroom mark-up, no handover to a subcontractor.
We fit, seal, test and tidy, and hand the room back ready to use that evening. We install wet rooms and accessible, low-threshold bathrooms too — there’s a page for each. One family does the lot, start to finish — a bit more about Paul and Martyn.

Bathrooms are smaller than kitchens but more intricate — a lot happens in a little room. Here’s how a typical fit runs.
The site visit and quote
One of us comes out, measures, and talks through the practical options — about an hour. A written, itemised quote follows and fixes the price before anything starts. Nothing is ripped out until you’ve approved it.
Ordering
Your suite, tiles and fittings are ordered and delivered before we begin, so the job doesn’t stall halfway waiting on a part. We check everything has arrived and is undamaged before strip-out day.
Strip-out and first fix
We protect the route in and out, strip the old bathroom back, then move waste and supply pipes and any electrics to suit the new layout. This is when older houses occasionally throw up a surprise — a rotten floorboard or tired pipework — and if they do, you hear about it straight away.
Waterproofing and tiling
Wet areas are tanked and left to cure, then walls and floors are tiled. This is the stage that can’t be rushed; the seal under the tiles is what keeps the room dry for years.
Suite, screen and finish
The suite, shower, screen, towel rail and brassware go in, underfloor heating is connected, then decoration, sealing and a final test of every outlet.
Handover
We walk the bathroom with you, sort any snags, and leave it clean.
Most bathrooms are one to two weeks on site. You’ll have a schedule before we start, and in a one-bathroom house we plan the works to keep your disruption as short as possible.
What affects the cost of fitting a bathroom
We don’t list prices or budget bands, because bathrooms vary too much for a number to mean anything until the room is measured. Two bathrooms the same size can be a long way apart depending on the choices below — so every job is quoted in writing after a site visit, itemised so you can see what each decision costs.
The suite and tiles you buy.
Your call, not ours to mark up — a standard suite and ceramic tiles sit at one end; a thermostatic rainfall shower, frameless screen, premium brassware and large-format or natural stone tiles at the other.
Layout changes are the biggest factor on our side.
Fitting a new suite where the old one stood is one level of work. Moving the soil pipe, swapping a bath for a walk-in shower or re-planning the whole room brings in extra plumbing and tiling — usually worth it, but more than a like-for-like swap.
Tiling tells most of the labour story.
Floor-to-ceiling tiling and intricate patterns take more time than a half-tiled wall. Tiling is labour-heavy, so it moves the number more than people expect.
What’s behind the old bathroom.
Damp, rot or tired pipework sometimes only shows once the room is stripped. We flag it the day we find it, with options and a price — never as a line on the final invoice.
The honest answer is that your bathroom needs measuring before anyone can price it properly. Book a free site visit and you’ll have a fixed, itemised quote.
