Frequently asked questions

Can I use the bathroom while work is happening?

The toilet is out of action for the first 2-3 days. After that you can use the toilet but not the shower or bath until the final day. If you only have one bathroom, plan to shower at a friend's or use a gym during the week.

Do I need to buy tiles and fixtures or can you supply them?

We can supply everything at trade prices, or you can buy your own. If you buy your own, we'll give you exact quantities and specifications so nothing gets delayed. Most clients prefer us to supply so we guarantee everything arrives on time.

Can you fit a wetroom or walk-in shower?

Yes, we install wetrooms and walk-in showers. These cost more than a standard bath/shower because they need tanking (waterproofing) the entire floor and walls. Typical wetroom cost is £6,000-9,000.

What if I want to move the toilet or basin position?

We can move plumbing, but it adds cost and time. Moving a toilet requires repositioning the waste pipe, which may mean lifting floor boards. Budget an extra £400-800 for moving major fixtures.

Do you handle building control for structural changes?

If you're removing walls or changing drainage routes, you may need building control approval. We'll flag this at the quote stage and can arrange the paperwork for you.
