What we do

Everything between strip-out and handover

Step 01

Strip-out & waste removal

We strip back to bare wall and floor. Not because the rules say so, but because you renovate a bathroom once every twenty years — and whatever you leave in place now stays there for another twenty. We remove the rubble ourselves.

  • Full strip-out, back to bare wall
  • Old tiles, sanitary ware and ceiling out
  • Rubble removed — you do not arrange a skip
  • Home sealed off against dust
Step 02

Plumbing, electrics & ventilation

This is the part you will never see again, and exactly the part that goes wrong. Water and waste pipes in the right places, enough circuits and sockets, and ventilation that genuinely removes damp air — otherwise in five years you are looking at mould in a bathroom that was new.

  • Repositioning water and waste pipes
  • Electrics, lighting and mirror heating
  • Mechanical ventilation sized to the room
  • Underfloor heating or radiator
Step 03

Tiling & waterproofing

Underneath the tiles sits the layer that keeps your house dry. We put it down before the first tile, across the whole wet zone. A beautiful tile over a badly sealed floor is simply a leak on a delay.

  • Waterproofing of floor and wet walls
  • Floor and wall tiling, large format included
  • Clean grouting and sealing
  • Floor falls correctly to the drain
Step 04

Sanitary ware & finishing

Walk-in shower, bath, wall-hung toilet, vanity unit and the final finish. You choose the sanitary ware; we tell you honestly what does and does not work in your room — before you order it.

  • Walk-in shower, bath, or both
  • Wall-hung sanitary ware and concealed cistern
  • Vanity unit, taps, mirror
  • Handed over clean and ready to use

Cost

Why two bathrooms of the same size differ by thousands

We will not put a number on a website that we then have to take back in your living room. What we can do is explain where the money goes — so you can judge a quote instead of only comparing them.

  1. 01

    Are you moving the drain?

    This is the single biggest cost driver, and most people do not know it. If the toilet stays where it is, the floor stays closed. Move it and the floor has to come open — which changes the whole project.

  2. 02

    Floor area and tile size

    More square metres means more tiles and more hours. Large-format tiles look calmer but need a flatter substrate — that preparation is in the price.

  3. 03

    Level of sanitary ware

    There is a wide gap between solid and luxury sanitary ware, and that gap is almost entirely your choice. We price the labour; you pick the brand.

  4. 04

    What is not in our quote

    Nothing. Strip-out, waste removal, materials, labour and handover are in one figure. No recalculation, no extras appearing for the first time on the final invoice.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about bathroom renovation

Question not answered here? Get in touch — we are happy to think it through with you.

Ask your question

It comes down to four things: the floor area, whether the pipework has to be moved, the level of tiles and sanitary ware, and whether you want a walk-in shower or a bath.

Move the drain and the floor has to come open — that is the most expensive intervention, and the reason two bathrooms of the same size can differ by thousands. We visit free of charge, measure up and give one price covering strip-out, materials, labour and waste removal. No recalculation afterwards.

A complete bathroom usually takes two to three weeks. That is not slowness: adhesive and sealant have to cure between tiling and fitting the sanitary ware, and you cannot rush that without giving up quality.

We schedule the work in one continuous run, so your bathroom is not left half finished for weeks.

No. And anyone promising it is usually fitting panels over the existing tiles.

That can look good, but it solves nothing underneath: old pipes, a leaking shower floor or poor ventilation all stay exactly where they were. We strip back to bare wall, because you do this once every twenty years.

Yes. We handle the complete bathroom: strip-out and waste removal, plumbing, electrics and lighting, tiling, sanitary ware, ventilation and finishing.

You have one point of contact and one party carrying the responsibility — no plumber pointing at the tiler when something is off.

Yes — but the gain is in the layout, not in the products. A walk-in shower with no upstand makes a small bathroom feel larger than any expensive tile will.

Beyond that it helps to run the shower drain as a linear channel along the wall, choose wall-hung sanitary ware so the floor runs through underneath, and use large tiles: fewer joints, a calmer look.

For a bathroom within the existing walls, almost never.

If you change the layout of the house, remove load-bearing walls, or live in a listed building or protected townscape, it can be different. We tell you straight during the consultation — before anything is ordered.

Wondering what your bathroom would cost?

We visit free of charge, measure up and give one price — strip-out, materials, labour and waste removal included.
