Bathroom Fitting in Richmond.
Richmond upon Thames is one of London's most affluent boroughs, with property stock dominated by large Victorian and Edwardian semis, detached homes and period cottages.
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 and Edwardian semi-detached and detached houses, period cottages and riverside properties. Richmond homeowners consistently specify premium materials — engineered wood and LVT are the most common flooring requests from this area.
Bathroom Fitting done properly.
What makes our bathroom fitting work different from a standard quote in Richmond.
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 Richmond — 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.
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.
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.
Yes — properly drained, tanked and sloped floors with linear drains. The floor must fall to the drain at the right gradient and the entire area must be waterproofed to wet room standard. We do it correctly.
We cover all London boroughs from our EC1N base and can usually arrange a free survey in Richmond 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.
