A new bathroom is only as good as what’s underneath it
When the old tiles come off, you find out what the last fitter did. In older Croydon houses that can mean lead pipe, damp joists or a waste that’s been running uphill for years.
We deal with it then, while it’s easy, and tell you before we do anything that changes the price.
- Floors checked for rot and leaks before anything new goes down
- Old pipework replaced while the walls are open, not patched
- Tile backer board and tanking in every wet area
- Isolation valves on everything, so a future repair doesn’t mean turning the house off

Six decisions that shape your new bathroom
You don’t need all the answers now. These are the things we’ll talk through, because they change what you get and what it costs.
Keep the layout, or change it?
Keeping the toilet where it is saves the most money, because the waste pipe stays put. Moving the bath or basin is usually straightforward.
Bath, shower, or both?
A bath with a good shower over it suits most family homes. If the room allows, a separate enclosure or a walk-in shower is a real upgrade.
Wall-hung or floor-standing?
Wall-hung toilets and basins make a small room feel bigger and are easier to clean around. They need a frame and a boxed-in wall to hide the cistern.
How it stays warm
A heated towel rail on the heating, an electric one, or both. In a cold room, underfloor heating makes the biggest difference.
Light and air
Bathroom lights need the right IP rating for each zone. An extractor fan is required by the Building Regulations, and a quiet one is worth the extra.
Somewhere to put things
A vanity unit, a mirrored cabinet or a tiled niche in the shower. Storage is what makes a bathroom easy to live with.
Bath, shower over bath, or walk-in shower?
The question almost everyone asks. The honest answer depends on who uses the room and how big it is.
- Room size
- Bath with shower over:Works in the smallest rooms
- Bath and separate shower:Needs a larger room
- Walk-in shower only:Works in small rooms
- Good for
- Bath with shower over:Families with young children
- Bath and separate shower:Larger family bathrooms
- Walk-in shower only:Easy access, quick showers
- Watch out for
- Bath with shower over:Stepping over the bath edge
- Bath and separate shower:Takes the most space
- Walk-in shower only:Many buyers want at least one bath in a house
- Cleaning
- Bath with shower over:Screen and bath
- Bath and separate shower:Two areas to clean
- Walk-in shower only:One glass screen, a tray or tiled floor
If this is your only bathroom and you might sell in a few years, keeping a bath somewhere in the house is usually the safer choice. A walk-in shower is a great fit for an en-suite or a second bathroom.
Underfloor heating, while the floor is up
A bathroom floor is cold for most of the year. An electric heating mat goes down under the tiles in the same visit, runs on its own thermostat and makes the room feel warm in a way a towel rail on its own can’t.
It’s far easier to add now than later, because later means lifting the tiles. We’ll tell you if your floor needs insulation boards first so the heat goes up, not into the joists.
Questions people ask
Do you supply the bathroom suite, or do I?
Either. We can supply everything (suite, tiles, valves and fittings) and quote for the lot, or fit what you’ve bought. If you’re supplying, send us the product links before you order so we can check the sizes and the water pressure they need.
Will I be without a toilet?
If it’s your only toilet, we plan the job so it’s out of action for as short a time as possible, and we’ll tell you in advance which days that will be.
What happens to the old bathroom?
We strip it out and take it away. Tell us if you’d like to keep anything, like a cast iron bath someone might buy.
Do I need Building Regulations approval for a new bathroom?
Electrical work in a bathroom is notifiable under Part P, and a new or replacement extractor fan has to meet Part F. Both are handled and certified as part of the job, so you don’t need to apply for anything yourself.
Can you install a bathroom in a flat?
Yes, lots of our work is in flats and conversions. Check your lease first if you’re moving the toilet or changing the floor, as the freeholder may need to agree. Tell us which floor you’re on in the quote form so we can plan access.
