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. Our Process ## A clear five-step system, from first call to final sign-off 1. 01 ### Design & survey We measure up, plan the layout, pick the tile lines and confirm sanitaryware. Mood board if helpful. 2. 02 ### Fixed written quote Itemised price within 48 hours. Includes everything — sundries, sealants, removal of waste. 3. 03 ### Strip-out & first fix Old suite removed, plumbing and electrics rerouted to the new plan, plastering and floor levelling completed. 4. 04 ### Tanking & tiling Wet areas tanked with a paint-on or sheet membrane, then tiled with the chosen format and grout colour. 5. 05 ### Sanitaryware & snag Suite installed, taps and shower fitted, sealants applied, decoration completed, full walk-through with you.

In Detail ## Bathroom types, materials and detailing Different rooms call for different specifications. Here's how we approach each scenario. ### 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. ### 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.
