Bathroom refit

Book Bathroom refit

A bathroom refit involves renovating your existing bathroom, which can include removing old fittings, reconfiguring the layout, installing new sanitaryware, tiling, and decorating. It can dramatically improve the aesthetics and functionality of your space.

When do you need a Bathroom refit?

Consider a bathroom refit if your current bathroom is outdated, damaged, no longer meets your needs, or if you're looking to add value to your property. It's a great opportunity to improve functionality and aesthetics.

What happens on the day

The process typically starts with the removal of your old bathroom suite and preparing the space. This is followed by first-fix plumbing and electrics, plastering, tiling, fitting the new suite, and finally, decorating and finishing touches. Each day will involve different trades as needed.

How to prepare

  • Clear out all personal belongings and furniture from the bathroom.
  • Ensure access to the bathroom is clear for tradespeople and materials.
  • Have a clear idea of your desired layout, fixtures, and finishes.
  • Consider if you will need a temporary alternative bathroom during the refit.
  • Discuss waste disposal options for old fittings with your installer.

How to improve your result

  • Invest in quality sanitaryware and taps, as they are used daily and impact the overall feel.
  • Consider underfloor heating for added luxury and comfort.
  • Maximise storage with fitted units or clever shelving solutions.
  • Ensure good ventilation to prevent moisture build-up and mould.

Why it is useful day to day

A new bathroom significantly enhances your daily routine, providing a more pleasant, functional, and visually appealing space for relaxation and personal care.

Why we ask these questions

We ask about your bathroom's current size, desired style, and any specific features you'd like (e.g., walk-in shower, freestanding bath) to help design and quote accurately. Knowing about access and current plumbing helps plan the project.
