A new bathroom that works as well as it looks
Our bathroom installations cover the full plumbing job: stripping out the old suite, altering pipework and waste, fitting your new bath, shower, toilet and basin, and testing everything before we leave.
It suits homeowners tackling a dated or leaking bathroom, landlords refreshing a rental, and anyone converting a bath to a walk-in shower or adding a second bathroom or en suite.
Signs it's time: persistent damp or mould, cracked tiles, sealant that keeps failing, a bath or shower tray that flexes, weak water pressure, or a layout that simply doesn't work for you.
- Baths, shower enclosures and wet rooms
- Toilets, basins and vanity units
- Heated towel rails and radiators
- Porcelain, ceramic, acrylic and stone resin fittings
Everything the plumbing side needs, done once and done right
Tell us what you're after and we'll quote for the full job, with no vague extras.
Careful strip-out
Old fittings are isolated, drained and removed without damaging pipes or floors you want to keep.
New pipework and waste
We rerun supply and waste pipes where the layout changes, with correctly falls and fixings so drains run freely and stay quiet.
Showers matched to your system
Mixer, electric, thermostatic or power shower: we check your pressure and hot water supply before recommending one.
Tested before handover
Every joint, valve and waste is checked for leaks and flow, and we show you where the stopcock and isolators are.

Bathroom installation questions, answered
How much does a new bathroom cost?
It depends on the size of the room, the fittings you choose, how much pipework moves and the tiling and finishing. We give a free, itemised quote after seeing the space.
How long will the work take?
A like-for-like swap is quicker than a full redesign with moved pipework or a wet room. We'll give you a realistic timescale once we've surveyed the room.
Do I need Building Regulations approval?
Not always, but some work does, such as new drainage, ventilation or electrics. We'll advise on what applies to your job. Fittings must also comply with the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations.
Can you move the toilet, bath or shower to a new position?
Usually yes, though it depends on floor construction and where the soil pipe runs. We check this at the survey so there are no surprises.
Will my water pressure suit a new shower?
We test pressure and flow first. Some showers need a high-pressure supply or a pump, and others work well with a combi boiler or a tank-fed system.
Do you take care of tiling and electrics too?
Our focus is the plumbing. Electrical work must be done by a qualified electrician in line with Part P, and we can work alongside them or your chosen tiler.
