Bathroom Fitting in London.
London is our primary service area, covering all 32 boroughs from Victorian terraces in Hackney to Georgian townhouses in Mayfair.
Many London homes have original gravity-fed systems, cast-iron soil stacks and older waste configurations. Upgrading to a power shower or concealed cistern means rerouting services, and we scope the full plumbing picture at the survey before quoting.
The property stock here is predominantly Victorian terraces, Georgian townhouses, mansion flats, post-war estates and new-build developments. We cover all London boroughs and can typically arrange a survey within 48 hours of enquiry.
London's housing stock creates two recurring bathroom scenarios we assess at every survey. In purpose-built flats and mansion block conversions — common across Battersea, Camden and Hammersmith — bathrooms are often compact, with constrained floor areas and sometimes reduced ceiling heights in lower-ground conversions; design efficiency within a small footprint is a genuine part of the service. Victorian and Edwardian terraces across our service area form the second common scenario: bathrooms in these houses were often added post-build into extensions or rear additions with irregular layouts, reduced pipe runs, and sometimes lower ceiling heights than the main body of the house. En-suite additions in spare bedrooms or box rooms are structurally feasible in many of these properties, and feasibility is assessed at the site survey as part of the standard process. We cover all 32 London boroughs and can arrange a free bathroom survey within 48 hours of enquiry.
Bathroom Fitting done properly.
What makes our bathroom fitting work different from a standard quote in London.
Properly tanked, not just painted
Schlüter Kerdi membrane and Mapei Mapelastic on every wet zone. The same systems used in commercial wet rooms — not the £30 paint-on alternative.
3-week typical from strip to snag
A full family bathroom in 15 working days. We give a day-by-day programme in the quote so you can plan around it.
Pressure-tested before closing
Every plumbing connection pressure-tested at 1.5× working pressure before tiling starts. If something fails, we find it while there is still access.
One trade, one timeline
Plumbing, electrics and tiling coordinated under one contract. No relay race of separate tradespeople.

Bathroom Fitting in London — questions answered.
A full renovation involves stripping the bathroom to the shell — removing all existing tiling, sanitaryware, and flooring — and rebuilding it completely, including replumbing if the layout is changing. A refit replaces sanitaryware and fixtures on the existing plumbing layout without structural work or layout changes, and may keep or tile over existing wall surfaces. The site survey determines which route is appropriate: sometimes a bathroom that appears to need a full renovation is in better structural condition than expected, and a refit delivers the result at lower cost and disruption.
Duration depends on the scope — full renovation, refit, or en-suite addition — and the specific property conditions found at survey. A standard bathroom refit typically runs three to five days. A full renovation including tiling, replumbing, and all finishes usually takes longer. En-suite additions may involve partition work and extended pipe runs, which adds to the total. We include a specific timeline in the written quote after the site survey.
Yes. We work in London flats of all sizes, including compact bathrooms in conversions and purpose-built blocks. For en-suite additions, the feasibility of plumbing access, the structural condition of the dividing wall, and the space available are all assessed during the free site survey. Compact footprints require careful fixture selection and layout planning, which we include as part of the survey and quote process.
Both options are available. We can supply tiles, sanitaryware, and fittings as part of a supply-and-fit package, or work with products you have already purchased or specified from a supplier. If you have a specific tile format, finish, or sanitaryware preference, bring the details to the survey and we can confirm compatibility with the installation scope.
Wet areas — shower enclosures and wet rooms — require proper waterproofing (tanking) as a structural requirement. This is included in our standard bathroom fitting scope, not an optional extra. Electrical work in bathrooms must be carried out by a registered electrician. We will advise you at the survey and plan the installation around it.
We cover all London boroughs from our EC1N base and can usually arrange a free survey in London within 48 hours of your initial enquiry. A fixed-price written quote follows within three working days, with a confirmed start date at the same time.
