Family bathrooms
Combination of bath with overhead shower, basin and WC. We recommend a thermostatic shower mixer to prevent scalds, and a bath screen rather than a curtain for cleaner waterproofing.

Overview
Why most bathroom failures are preventable
Bathrooms have one job: contain water. When they fail it's almost always because the waterproofing was rushed before tiling. We tank every wet area properly — using paint-on or sheet membrane systems — before a single tile is fixed.
We design and install full family bathrooms, en-suites, downstairs WCs and tanked wet rooms. The work covers strip-out, soil and waste reroutes, electrics (Part P), plastering, tanking, tiling, sanitaryware and decoration.
Who it's for
Owners with a 15+ year-old bathroom, anyone doing a loft conversion or extension, landlords upgrading rentals, and homeowners wanting a wet room for accessibility.
When you need it
When tiles are failing, grout is staining, the suite is dated, or there are signs of leaks (lifting flooring, ceiling stains below).
Why use a professional
Bathrooms combine plumbing, electrics, waterproofing and tiling — all of which need to coordinate perfectly. Get one wrong and the whole room fails.
Why It Matters
Bathroom installation mistakes that lead to leaks
Almost every leaking bathroom we strip out shows the same handful of issues.
RISK 01
No tanking behind the shower
Tiling straight onto plasterboard means the wall absorbs water on day one of use. Within 18 months the substrate is rotten.
RISK 02
Floors not falling to the gully
Wet room floors that slope the wrong way — or don't slope at all — cause water to pool against the door. Result: rotten skirting downstairs.
RISK 03
Soil pipes vented incorrectly
Drum traps and missing AAVs cause the WC to gurgle and the basin to lose its water seal — leading to drain smells in the room.
RISK 04
Electrics in the wrong zones
Sockets and switches outside the IP-rated zones for bathrooms are a Part P fail — and a real shock risk.
RISK 05
Tiles laid before the suite
Causes ugly cuts around pedestals and bath skirts. We always set out tiles around the final fittings.

In Detail
Bathroom types, materials and detailing
Different rooms call for different specifications. Here's how we approach each scenario.
En-suite shower rooms
Compact, often slot into a bedroom corner. We use frameless 1200×800 enclosures, slimline trays and wall-hung WCs to maximise floor space.
Wet rooms
Fully tanked floors with a tiled gradient to a linear or square gully. Trickier to get right — needs proper tanking, an upstand at the doorway, and an electric heated floor.
Downstairs WCs
Compact but often abused — guests, kids, muddy boots. We spec robust porcelain tiles, a wall-hung WC for floor cleaning, and a Saniflo if no soil stack runs nearby.
Tile choices
Large-format porcelain (600×600+) on floors for fewer grout lines, smaller mosaic on shower floors for grip, metro and herringbone for walls. We dry-lay every layout.
Underfloor heating
Electric mat under tiles is now standard in our installs — cheap to run because it's only on for short periods, and removes the cold-floor problem on porcelain.
Sanitaryware brands
We fit Roca, Villeroy & Boch, Ideal Standard, Lefroy Brooks, Vado, Hansgrohe, Mira, Aqualisa. Brand-agnostic — tell us the budget and we'll spec to suit.
Ventilation
All new bathrooms get a humidistat-controlled extract fan ducted directly outside (never into the loft). Mandatory under Part F.
