Life in your finished home

A small room that can change your whole day.

Start with the moments you would like to make easier. We will help you think through the possibilities, the space you have and what feels right for your budget.

An easier morning

A layout that gives you room to get ready, with towels, toiletries and the daily essentials where you need them.

A moment to yourself

The warmth of a shower or a long soak at the end of the day. A space that feels comfortable, private and yours.

Care beneath the surface

Careful preparation, plumbing and waterproofing matter as much as the tiles. We plan the hidden work alongside the finish.

Explore your options

£6,000 to £10,000

Basic refresh

Best when the layout stays broadly similar and the goal is to improve dated finishes, fittings and overall presentation without a bigger redesign.

Around 2 to 3 weeks

£12,000 to £20,000

Mid-range redesign

The strongest fit for most London bathrooms where you want better layout use, stronger material choices and a room that feels noticeably calmer and more premium.

Around 2 to 4 weeks

£20,000 to £35,000+

High-end bathroom or wet room

Used when the brief includes premium finishes, specialist waterproofing, bespoke joinery, underfloor heating or a more ambitious wet-room style design.

Around 3 to 5+ weeks

Your quotation

Know what is included before we begin

Your quote explains the work, what it costs and the choices still to make. We talk it through with you, so you feel comfortable with the plan before work begins.

  • Strip-out and preparation

    Removing the old bathroom cleanly and preparing the room properly so the new installation is built on the right base rather than hidden compromise.

  • Waterproofing and substrate work

    The moisture-critical prep that protects the bathroom long after the tiles and fittings go in.

  • Plumbing and first-fix electrics

    Setting up the services correctly for the new layout, fixtures, lighting and extraction before the visible finishes are installed.

  • Tiling and surface finishing

    The part everyone sees, but only after the underlying prep work is correct. This is where quality craftsmanship really shows.

  • Sanitaryware and second-fix installation

    Fitting baths, showers, basins, brassware, WCs, towel rails and the details that shape how the room feels to use day to day.

  • Decoration, snagging and final handover

    The closeout stage that makes the bathroom feel complete, precise and safe to live with rather than hurriedly finished.

Design and construction

Your choice of architect. Support either way.

You need design support

If your project needs an architect, we can recommend one. They prepare the drawings. We help you understand what the options mean for the build and your budget, and can look after the conversations and follow-up questions. You choose the design and approve the cost.

You have your own architect

We are happy to work with them, whether your drawings are underway or complete. If you wish, we can speak with them on your behalf and keep the plans and building work moving together. You stay informed and make the decisions that matter to you.

Your architect prepares the drawings and agreed professional submissions; we manage construction. Our proposal sets out the coordination support you want, each appointment and the fees before you commit.

How we work

From your first ideas to feeling at home

  1. 01Tell us what you have in mind

    We listen to what you want from your home, talk through your budget and explain the next steps. You do not need every detail decided.

  2. 02Make a plan you feel good about

    We work through the drawings and choices with you and your design team, then agree the work, price and timing before building starts.

  3. 03Stay informed while we build

    Your project lead updates you each week and explains any decisions you need to make. We check the finishing details with you and give you a clear aftercare contact.

Cost planning

A clearer picture of what it could cost

From around £12,000 for a full redesign. Scope and specification determine the final price. Check the written quotation for VAT, professional fees, product allowances and contingency. Planning ranges are not a fixed offer.

Built on trust

Care during the build. Support afterwards.

We want you to feel looked after while we work and once you are settled in. Your project lead keeps you informed, and you have a clear contact for questions afterwards. Your workmanship cover is matched to the work we have done and explained before you commit.

Manufacturer warranties and insurance are separate. Read about our guarantee and read independent homeowner reviews.

Useful to know

Questions you may be considering

How much does a bathroom renovation cost in London?
Most London bathroom renovations sit between roughly £6,000 and £35,000+, depending on size, layout changes, waterproofing complexity and finish level. Many serious bathroom redesigns in London start from around £12,000 once proper installation quality and good material choices matter.
What is included in a full bathroom renovation?
A full bathroom renovation usually includes strip-out, prep work, waterproofing, plumbing first-fix, electrics, tiling, sanitaryware installation, second-fix, decorating and final snagging. The exact scope changes depending on whether the layout stays put or is being redesigned.
How long does a typical bathroom project take?
Most bathroom renovations take around 2 to 4 weeks on site. Simpler bathrooms can be quicker, while wet rooms, premium detailing or more complex service changes can extend the programme.
Can you handle bathroom design, supply and installation together?
Yes. We can manage the full route from design direction and product choices through to installation and finishing, so the room is not designed one way and built another.
Do you work on en-suites, wet rooms and small bathrooms?
Yes. We deliver compact bathrooms, family bathrooms, en-suites and more premium wet-room style spaces, depending on the room, the brief and the budget.
Can we use the bathroom while renovation work is underway?
Not the bathroom being renovated. Water and waste connections must be isolated at points during strip-out and installation, and waterproofing or finishes need uninterrupted curing time. If it is your only bathroom, tell us before quoting so we can plan temporary arrangements and a sequence that keeps the unusable period as short as practical.
How do you prevent leaks in a renovated bathroom?
Leak prevention starts behind the visible finish. We prepare stable substrates, waterproof wet zones, pressure-test altered pipework, follow the product system for joints and penetrations, and inspect the installation before it is closed up. Silicone is a finishing seal, not a substitute for correct waterproofing underneath.
Does bathroom electrical work need certification?
Electrical work in bathrooms must meet the relevant Building Regulations and wiring rules for wet zones. Where notifiable work is carried out, the appropriate electrical certification is provided at handover by the qualified installer.
What happens if hidden damage appears after strip-out?
We show you the issue, explain whether it affects safety or the agreed finish, and price the remedy before extra work proceeds. Common discoveries include damaged subfloors, historic leaks and unsuitable previous wiring. A sensible contingency helps absorb genuine hidden conditions without turning every discovery into a crisis.
How are bathroom renovation payments staged?
The payment schedule is agreed in the contract and tied to clear stages such as booking, procurement, mobilisation and progress on site. Materials with long lead times may need to be paid for before installation, but you should always know what each payment covers and what milestone comes next.
