From one tap
to the whole room
Some people need a dripping tap changed; others want to redo a bathroom that hasn't been touched since the building went up. We're happy with either — a small job isn't a worse job.
Full refit
What happens
and in what order
1 · Survey and quote
We come, measure, and go through what you have in mind. You get a quote broken down into labour and materials — not one number.
2 · Strip out and disposal
Old fittings out, tiles off. We sheet up everything outside the bathroom and take the rubble away — the skip is not your problem.
3 · Pipework and pressure test
New water, waste and appliance feeds. Before anything is covered, the system is pressurised and left to stand. This step never gets skipped.
4 · Waterproofing and tiling
Tanking in the shower area and around the bath, then floor and wall tiles. We have tilers we trust — or we wait for yours.
5 · Fitting and handover
Sanitaryware, taps, silicone, mirror. We go through it with you and put right anything you are not happy with.
Coordination
One person on the phone for the whole job. We sort the sequencing with the tiler and electrician so nobody is left waiting.
Worth deciding early
Choices that
are hard to undo
A few things in a bathroom are genuinely difficult to change later. We raise them before anything gets set in concrete.
- Bath or shower? It isn't only about comfort — a wet room without a tray needs different tanking and a different floor fall.
- Where the sockets and lights go. Bathrooms have strict rules about distance from water. We settle it with the electrician before any chasing starts.
- Access panels to the cistern. A concealed toilet needs the valve reachable. A panel tiled over means broken tiles when something fails.
- Hot water. An old water heater is worth replacing during the refit — afterwards nobody gets to it without breaking something.
Everything here is cheap to decide now and expensive to change later. It's the main reason the survey is worth doing properly.
FAQ
About bathrooms
How long does a refit take?
For an ordinary flat bathroom, count in weeks rather than days — part of that is drying time, where the tanking has to cure and the adhesive set. You get a schedule with the quote, and we keep you posted when something shifts.
Can we stay in the flat while it's done?
In most flats yes, but it's uncomfortable — for a few days the bathroom is entirely out of use, and stripping out is dusty. A second toilet helps a great deal. We'll tell you in advance which days are the worst, so you can plan to be elsewhere.
Do you handle tiling and electrics too?
Yes — we work with a tiler and an electrician and take the coordination on ourselves, so you call one person. If you have your own trades, we'll fit around them and sort out the sequencing.
