Bathroom Remodeling
Sealed, Level and Built to Last.

Bathrooms That Stay Dry
Almost every bathroom problem we are called to repair traces back to water going somewhere it was never meant to go. A shower tray bedded on an uneven floor, a wet area tiled straight onto plasterboard, a waste run laid with too little fall. The tiling looks fine for a year or two, then the ceiling below starts to stain.
We build bathrooms from the substrate up. Floors are levelled and strengthened where they need it, wet areas are tanked properly, falls are set to the gully before tiling starts, and every junction between materials is detailed rather than relied on to look after itself.

The Rest Follows.
You will never see most of what makes a bathroom last. That is exactly why it is the part worth paying attention to.
Substrate Checked First
Floors are levelled and stiffened before a tray or a tile goes down, so nothing flexes and cracks a joint later.
Proper Tanking
Wet areas get a tanking system taken up the walls and into the corners, not a coat of sealant at the end.
Falls Set to the Gully
Wet-room floors are laid to a measured fall so water reaches the drain instead of pooling at the edge.
Certified Trades
Plumbing and electrical work is carried out by qualified operatives and certified on completion.
Extraction That Works
We size and site the extractor for the room, because ventilation is what stops mould returning.
Clean Working
Dust barriers, protected routes and a site cleared down daily while your bathroom is out of action.
Strip-Out to First Shower.
Five stages with dates attached, so you know exactly how long you are without a bathroom.
1
Survey & Discuss
We check the floor, the waste runs and the existing ventilation before suggesting anything.
2

A layout, a specification and a fixed price with labour and materials listed separately.
3
Strip-Out & First Fix
Old suite out, floor made good, pipework and circuits moved to the new layout.
4
Tank & Tile
Waterproofing applied and cured, falls set, then tiling worked from the datum out.
5
Fit & Hand Over
Suite fitted, sealed, tested under running water and snagged before we leave.
Tanked before it was tiled
Waterproofing taken into every corner and junction.
Why Bathrooms Fail, and How We Stop It
A bathroom is a small room asked to do a difficult job. It gets soaked daily, heated and cooled repeatedly, and it sits directly above a ceiling that will show any mistake within about eighteen months. Most of the cost of getting one wrong is not the bathroom itself, it is everything underneath it.
What a bathroom refit actually involves
A full refit means stripping the room back to the structure. Suite, tiling, flooring and usually a layer of plaster come out together, and only then can the floor and the waste runs be assessed honestly. Joists are checked for deflection, the floor is levelled or overboarded, and pipework is reworked to suit the new positions rather than the old ones.
Smaller work is a different proposition. Replacing a suite in the existing layout, retiling over a sound substrate, or converting a bath to a shower can often be done in under a week. We will tell you when the smaller option is genuinely the right one.
Waterproofing is not the same as sealant
Tanking is a membrane or coating applied to the substrate before tiling, taken up the walls to above splash height and dressed into every internal corner. Silicone at the end of the job seals a visible joint. It is not a waterproofing system, and treating it as one is the single most common reason we get called back to somebody else’s bathroom.
Wet rooms raise the stakes because the whole floor is a shower tray. That needs a formed fall, a compatible membrane and a drain detailed into it. We do not build wet rooms onto floors that cannot take the work, and we will say so at survey rather than after the tiles are down.
Ventilation, heat and mould
Mould is a ventilation problem far more often than a cleaning problem. An extractor that is undersized, badly sited or ducted into a loft instead of outside will leave moisture in the room every single day. We size extraction to the room volume, duct it properly to an external outlet and site it where the steam actually is.
Heating matters for the same reason. A room that dries quickly after use stays sound. Underfloor heating, a correctly sized towel radiator and insulation on external walls all reduce the time surfaces stay damp.
Living with one bathroom
If it is your only bathroom, the programme matters more than anything else. We sequence the work so the room is out of use for the shortest possible run, order every fitting before we start rather than during, and agree the strip-out date only once the suite is physically in stock.
We also protect the route in. Dust sheeting, floor protection on the landing and stairs, and a tidy-down at the end of each day. Waste and old fittings leave with us rather than sitting in the garden for a fortnight.
How we price bathroom work
Quotes separate labour from materials and name the specification: the suite, the tile format, the tanking system, the extractor rating. That lets you change one item without renegotiating the whole job, and compare us fairly against another quote.
Where something cannot be known until the floor is up, such as joist condition or a hidden leak, we say so in writing beforehand and agree a rate for it in advance. Nothing gets presented as a surprise mid-job.
Frequently Asked Questions
The questions we are asked most often about bathroom remodeling, timings and cost.
How long does a bathroom refit take?
A straightforward replacement in the same layout is usually one to two weeks. Moving the suite around, converting to a wet room, or dealing with a floor that needs strengthening takes two to three. Tanking needs curing time before tiling can start, and that sits in the programme as a fixed step rather than a delay.
Will I be without a bathroom the whole time?
The room itself, yes. If it is your only bathroom we plan the sequence to keep that window as short as possible and confirm the start date only once every fitting is physically in stock, so the room is never sitting stripped and waiting on a delivery.
Do you tank the room or just tile it?
We tank every wet area as standard. That means a proper waterproofing system applied to the substrate and dressed into the corners before any tiling, not silicone applied at the end. It is the difference between a bathroom that lasts fifteen years and one that stains the ceiling below in two.
Can you convert a bathroom into a wet room?
Often, but not always. It depends on the floor construction, the joist depth and whether a fall can be formed to a drain without compromising the structure. We survey that before quoting and will tell you plainly if the room is not suitable.
Do you supply the suite and tiles?
Either way works. We can supply through trade accounts, which usually beats retail, or fit items you have bought. If you are supplying, we check the order against the survey before it is placed so nothing arrives in the wrong size.
Is the electrical and plumbing work certified?
Yes. Both are carried out by qualified operatives and the relevant certification is issued to you on completion, along with any manufacturer warranties on the fittings.
Do you provide free estimates?
Yes. We survey the room, talk through the layout and provide a written itemised quote at no cost and with no obligation.
