Bathroom Fitting across Reading and Oxford.
Reading is a major Berkshire town with strong demand for home improvement services, including Victorian terraces near the town centre and large modern suburban estates.
The property stock here is predominantly Victorian terraces, 1930s–1970s semis and modern new-build estates. Reading is the furthest regular point from our London base — survey visits are available Tuesday to Thursday with same-week confirmation.
Bathroom Fitting done properly.
What makes our bathroom fitting work different from a standard quote in Reading.
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 Reading — questions answered.
Cheap tanking is paint-on waterproofing — it costs around £30 and is not rated for permanent wet exposure. We use Schlüter Kerdi membrane and Mapei Mapelastic systems, the same products used in commercial wet rooms. The cost difference per job is about £80–150. The failure rate difference is significant.
Yes — Part P certified and NICEIC registered. Every bathroom installation includes a full electrical certificate. This is a legal requirement and we never skip it.
A standard family bathroom is typically out of full use for 5–7 working days. We give a day-by-day programme in the quote so you can plan around it.
Both. We have accounts with most UK bathroom suppliers, or we will fit a suite you have already chosen from CP Hart, Bathstore, Roca or elsewhere. We ask to see the specification before quoting.
