A new bathroom is one of the most rewarding home projects, and one of the easiest to get wrong without a plan. Decisions made before any tile is laid have the biggest effect on cost, timeline and the final result. Here is what we walk every customer through during a free bathroom design, so you can plan yours with confidence.
Start With a Design
The single best thing you can do is agree the design before work begins. We like our customers to see the best vision of their bathroom first, which is why our bathroom design is free with no hidden cost. Seeing the layout, the fittings and the finish up front means there are no surprises, and the build runs smoothly because every decision is already made.
Layout and Plumbing
Where the bath, shower, basin and toilet sit affects the plumbing work behind the walls and floor. Keeping fittings near existing pipework can save money, but a better layout is often worth the extra work. During the design we talk through what is practical for your room and what each option means for the budget, so you can choose with the full picture.
- Storage: Plan it in early. Vanity units and built-in storage are far easier to design in than to add later.
- Ventilation: Good extraction protects your new bathroom from damp and keeps it looking fresh for years.
- Lighting: Layered lighting makes a small bathroom feel bigger and a large one feel finished.

Call to Book a DesignSetting a Realistic Budget
Bathroom costs vary with the size of the room, the fittings you choose and the work involved behind the scenes. As a guide, a full installation is typically in the region of ten to eighteen thousand pounds. The clearest way to know your figure is a design followed by a fixed quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for before anything starts.
What to Expect on Timeline
Most full bathroom installations take one to two weeks depending on the size of the room and the work needed. We give you a clear timescale with your quote and keep you updated as the job moves through strip-out, first-fix plumbing, tiling, second-fix and finishing. Knowing the order of work makes the whole project far less stressful.
Why One Team Matters
Bathrooms involve plumbing, tiling, fitting and finishing. When different trades come and go, gaps and delays creep in. We keep the whole job in-house with one trusted team from start to finish, which keeps the standard consistent and the project on track. It also means one point of contact if you have a question along the way.
