Which option fits your home?
Like-for-like refit
The new suite goes where the old one was, using the existing water and waste positions. It's the quickest and most affordable option, and it's often all a bathroom needs. Tiling, flooring, furniture and the shower choice can all change completely while the plumbing stays essentially the same.
Bath with shower over
Still the most practical layout for many family bathrooms, especially with young children. A shower over the bath needs a fixed glass screen, a well-sealed bath and tiling or panelling to full height. Choosing between a mixer shower and an electric shower depends on your boiler and water pressure, which we test at the survey.

Large-format tiles, layout changes and underfloor heating add time. We give you a day-by-day outline before work starts, so you know when each stage happens.
