Is it cheaper to replace or renovate a bathroom?

Some small renovations can be achieved in a bathroom, however due to these rooms usually being tiled, this is not as easy as you may think.

If you are thinking along this route, please contact us and we can advise what may be feasible. 

 

How much do you charge for a bathroom design?

Our initial visit to your home to discuss your project and the first design are free of charge. We retain the designs and these are not given to you at this stage. If you require additional design layouts or wish to have a copy of the design, then a £250 fee will apply. This is refunded if you go ahead with the project.

 

Do you arrange plastering, decorating, plumbing and tiling?

Can you build an en-suite in our bedroom?

Do you offer bespoke bathroom units?

How long will the bathroom installation take?

Typically, a bathroom or en-suite installation will take around 2 weeks depending on the extent of the work involved. A cloakroom usually takes around 4-5 days.

 

How does your process work?

Step 1. Initial consultation with one of the owners in our showroom or in the comfort of your home to discuss ideas, and colour schemes. We will also need an idea of your budget at this stage.

Step 2. Survey the room, followed by a tailored 3D cad design for you to view and discuss at our next pre-arranged meeting.

Step 3. On finalising the design details, we would firm up products including your shower valve type, walk-in panels or shower enclosure, bath, basin , wc , mirrors, tiles, accessories etc. A deposit of 35% is required for us to order your bathroom and a proposed fitting date will then be arranged.

Step 4. Installation commences with our own fitting team and Andrew or Karen, the owners, will be with you every step of the way throughout the whole process.

Do you remove and dispose of the old bathroom?
