Bathroom Renovation London — Full Refits, Wetrooms & Ensuites

We take on the full renovation as one project, strip-out, plumbing, electrics, tanking, tiling and fitting the sanitaryware, coordinated by one team rather than passed between separate tradespeople you'd need to book and manage yourself. If you only need one element, such as retiling an existing bathroom without changing the layout, that sits under our tiling service instead, and we're happy to be clear about which scope suits your project before you commit to either one.

A straightforward like-for-like refit, replacing the suite and tiling without moving pipework, usually takes one to two weeks. Where the layout is changing, a WC or shower moving position, or a bath being replaced with a walk-in shower, three to four weeks is more realistic once you account for tanking cure times and any structural work to floor joists. We'll give a firm programme once we've surveyed the room and confirmed the layout, rather than a generic figure that doesn't reflect what your specific bathroom needs.

Yes. A wetroom needs the floor built to fall towards a drain, using a tapered former or screed, with the waterproof membrane taken across the whole floor and up the walls rather than just around a tray. It's a bigger job than fitting a shower tray, since floor height and drainage need checking early, particularly on an upper floor or in a flat where floor build-up is limited, but it gives a level, step-free finish that works well for smaller rooms and for anyone wanting easier long-term accessibility.

Yes, though it depends on how the new position relates to the existing soil stack and waste run. A WC generally needs a consistent fall back to the stack, and where the new position can't achieve that with standard pipework, we'd look at options such as building up the floor slightly or fitting a macerator unit. We'll check this at survey stage and tell you honestly if a layout change is straightforward or adds meaningful cost and floor build-up before you commit to a specific design.

Yes, we can supply and fit electric underfloor heating mats or cables beneath the tiled floor, coordinated with a qualified electrician for the final connection, testing and certification. It goes in after levelling and before tiling, using a flexible adhesive suited to the slight movement caused by heating cycles. It's worth deciding on underfloor heating early in the design, since it adds a stage to the floor build-up and affects the finished floor height, which can matter in a small bathroom where door clearance is already tight.

Building Regulations Part F requires mechanical extraction in any bathroom without an openable window to outside air, ducted out rather than just recirculating into the loft or a void. Even where there's a window, many bathrooms still benefit from a fan, particularly windowless ensuites and shower rooms where condensation builds up quickly. We size the fan to the room volume and, for windowless bathrooms, typically fit one with a timer overrun so it keeps running for a few minutes after the light switches off, which clears humidity properly rather than stopping the moment you leave the room.

For a single bathroom, yes, provided there's another bathroom or WC available elsewhere in the property during the works, since the room being renovated will be out of use for most of the job, typically from strip-out through to the tanking curing. Where it's the only bathroom in the property, we'll talk through options for minimising how long you're without facilities, though a full renovation with tanking and tiling realistically needs the room out of action for the bulk of the programme rather than usable in stages.

We agree workmanship cover as part of the written quote before work starts, since the appropriate period depends on the scope of tanking and tiling involved. We test wetroom floors and shower waterproofing before tiling wherever practical, rather than assuming a membrane has taken without checking, because finding a fault after the tiles are down is a far more disruptive fix than catching it beforehand. If an issue does show up after handover, get in touch and we'll come back to assess it properly.

It varies considerably depending on whether the layout is changing, the sanitaryware specification, and how much tiling and waterproofing the room needs. A like-for-like refit on a small bathroom with standard fittings costs meaningfully less than a full reconfiguration with a wetroom floor, underfloor heating and higher-specification sanitaryware. We give a fixed price after surveying the room and agreeing the specification with you, broken down by plumbing, electrics, waterproofing, tiling and fittings, rather than a single figure that hides where the money is actually going. Getting more than one quote is sensible, but check each one is pricing the same scope in the same detail.

Often yes, though it depends on the room's dimensions and where the nearest waste and water supply runs are. A boxroom or the end of a landing can frequently take a corner shower, a wall-hung WC and a slimline basin, but door swing, ceiling height and where pipework can realistically be routed all need checking before committing to a layout. We'll survey the space and tell you plainly if a workable ensuite is achievable within it, rather than promising a layout that turns out not to fit once work starts, and we'll suggest sensible alternatives where the original idea doesn't quite work.
