Bathroom fitters for renovations, en suites and wet rooms
We take bathrooms back to the brickwork and rebuild them properly, so the finish still looks right in ten years. Walk in showers, freestanding baths, wet rooms and compact en suites are all regular work for us.
The parts of a bathroom you cannot see matter most. We tank wet areas, board with the correct backer, set falls accurately on shower trays and wet room formers, and pressure test before anything is closed up.
We handle the sanitaryware, the tiling, the extraction and the lighting, and we can supply everything or fit items you have chosen yourself. Underfloor heating, illuminated mirrors and concealed cisterns are all straightforward for us.
As bathroom fitters and installers we cover every size of room: family bathrooms, en suite shower rooms, downstairs cloakrooms, walk in showers replacing an old bath, and full wet rooms. Each one is surveyed first so drainage, floor build up and hot water supply are checked before you commit to a layout.
A typical family bathroom takes around two weeks. We keep one working toilet in the house wherever the layout allows.
Only the bath needs changing? See our guide to bath replacement cost.

Bathroom refurbishment, start to finish
A full bathroom refurbishment with us runs in a fixed order: survey, strip out, first fix pipework and cables, boarding and tanking, tiling, then sanitaryware, lighting and decoration. You get a written itemised quote and a day by day programme before we start, so you know when the room goes out of use and when it comes back.
Tanking is the stage we never shorten. Shower zones are boarded with the correct backer and sealed with a membrane before a single tile goes up, and trays and formers are set to accurate falls. That is the work that stops a leak through the ceiling below years later.
What is a bathroom fitter, and what does bathroom fitting include?
A bathroom fitter takes a room from its old suite to a finished, working bathroom. Bathroom fitting with us includes the strip out, moving waste and supply runs where the new layout needs it, electrics for lighting and extraction through our qualified trades, boarding and tanking, wall and floor tiling, then fitting the bath or shower, basin, toilet and screen, and the final sealing and decoration.
Bathroom installation and bathroom renovation are often used to mean the same thing. A remodel usually involves changing the layout too, for example swapping the bath for a walk-in shower or moving the toilet. We plan any layout change at the survey, so the drainage and floor build up are checked before you commit.
En suites, wet rooms and smaller jobs
Not every bathroom job is a full family bathroom. We build en suites into bedrooms and lofts, form wet rooms with level floors, fit electric underfloor heating, and replace cracked or leaking shower trays without stripping the whole room. Each has its own page below, so you can see exactly how that job is done.
