Plan the hidden work as carefully as the finish

A good bathroom starts with the layout, water supply, waste routes and a sound base. We discuss the work needed before agreeing a quote, including access to concealed pipework and the condition of the existing floor or walls.

We can quote for plumbing-only work or discuss a broader refurbishment scope. Your quote identifies the fittings, work by other trades and what is included for boarding, waterproofing, tiling or making good. Stage payments and return visits are agreed in advance for larger projects.

Start with your needs

Choose the scale of your bathroom project

01

A focused repair

A leaking shower, faulty mixer or damaged tray does not always need a full refit. We assess the existing fitting, the available access and any damage before discussing a proportionate solution.

02

A new shower or suite

Replacement fittings need to work with the water supply, waste routes and room dimensions. Tray sizes and door openings should be considered alongside how the space is used and cleaned.

03

A more complete refurbishment

Moving fittings creates opportunities but can change drainage and pipework requirements. Plan the structure, boarding, waterproofing and finishes with the relevant trades before treating the visible fittings as the whole job.

A clear scope

Know what you’re arranging.

The written scope separates plumbing from the surrounding building and finishing work. That makes it easier to compare quotations and avoid assumptions.

Care in the details

Understand the work. Feel comfortable with the next step.

Removing the tray can reveal damaged flooring or concealed pipework. We explain what can be priced in advance and how any additional findings will be dealt with.

The appointment or quotation should identify the agreed work, access arrangements and any limitations. If the engineer finds something outside that scope, we explain the options and costs before additional work goes ahead.

From your first enquiry

What happens next.

A practical guide to the process, with details agreed for your property.

01

Talk through the room

Share the layout, priorities, fittings and the problem you want to solve.

02

Agree the specification

Confirm dimensions, plumbing routes and each trade’s responsibilities.

03

Prepare and install

Coordinate first-fix work, surfaces, fittings and second-fix visits.

04

Review the finished work

Check the agreed installation and discuss care instructions for the chosen products.

A smoother appointment

A little preparation goes a long way.

Choose products before first fix

The valve, enclosure, tray and furniture dimensions can determine where connections need to be. Late product changes may alter the work and cost.

Allow for the unexpected

Existing leaks can conceal damaged boards or floors. Agree how discoveries will be photographed, explained and priced before additional work proceeds.

Plan your temporary arrangements

Discuss how long the bathroom may be unavailable and whether another toilet or shower can remain usable during the project.

Bathrooms & showers FAQs

Useful details before you decide. If your question is more specific, our team is happy to help.

Can you replace a shower without a full bathroom refit?

In many cases, yes. We assess the existing fittings and access before confirming the work.

Will existing tiles be affected?

They may be, particularly when a tray, valve or concealed pipework is removed. We discuss that risk and the making-good scope in your quote.

Do you arrange every trade?

The agreed scope varies by project. Your written quote will identify who is responsible for electrical work, tiling and other finishes.

Can I keep my current bathroom layout?

Often, yes. Retaining locations can simplify some work, but the existing supply, drainage and condition still need to be reviewed.

Who buys the fittings?

Either arrangement can be discussed. Your quotation should identify each supplied item and who is responsible for ordering, compatibility, damage and product warranty.

Can you guarantee existing tiles will survive removal?

No. Access to a shower tray, concealed valve or pipework can disturb tiles and finishes. We explain the expected risks and the agreed making-good scope.

How are larger projects paid for?

Payment stages are agreed in the written quotation. They may reflect progress such as first-fix completion and final handover, rather than one assumption for every project.
