Overview
What bathroom installations involve
What it is
A full bathroom installation is a complete refit: stripping out the old suite, altering pipework and wiring, fitting the new bath or shower, toilet, basin and heating, then tiling and finishing. Unlike many plumbers, we bring in our own tilers and electricians, so the whole job is covered by one team rather than several separate trades.
Who it's for
It suits homeowners replacing a dated or worn bathroom, people converting a narrow bathroom into a more usable shower room, families adding an en-suite, and landlords refreshing a property. Because we are also heating specialists, it suits anyone who wants hot water or heating upgraded at the same time.
When you need it
People usually call us when a bathroom is leaking, tired or impractical, when they are renovating or selling, or when water pressure upstairs is poor and they want a better shower as part of the refit.
Why use a professional
A bathroom combines water, electrics and structure in a small, wet space. Mistakes in waterproofing, drainage falls or electrical zoning are costly to put right. Having qualified trades who work together regularly means the plumbing, electrics and tiling are sequenced properly and done to standard.
What happens if it's left
The cost of putting it off
A bathroom that is leaking or poorly planned gets more expensive the longer it is left, and a badly coordinated refit can be worse than the original.
Hidden water damage
Failed seals and grout let water into floors and walls, leading to rot, mould and stained ceilings below.
Wasted space
A poor layout can make even a reasonable room feel cramped, a good plan can make a narrow room work properly.
Juggling trades
Coordinating a separate plumber, electrician and tiler often leads to delays, gaps and finger-pointing.
Weak showers
Fitting a new shower without checking the hot water system can leave you with the same poor flow in a new room.
Common mistakes we see
- Choosing a suite before checking the layout, drainage and water pressure.
- Hiring separate trades with no one responsible for the whole job.
- Skipping proper waterproofing behind tiles in shower areas.
- Ignoring the hot water system when upgrading to a more powerful shower.

In detail
Planning your bathroom refit
Good bathrooms are planned around how the room is used, the plumbing behind the walls and the hot water system feeding it.
Full bathroom vs shower room
Removing a bath in favour of a large walk-in shower can transform a narrow room. We can talk through whether a shower room, a bath with shower over, or a full bathroom suits your household best.
En-suites
Adding an en-suite means planning new waste routes, ventilation and hot water supply. We check whether your boiler and hot water system can supply an extra bathroom.
Shower types
Mixer showers fed by a combi or unvented cylinder give strong flow; electric showers heat their own water and are useful as a backup. The right choice depends on your hot water system.
Heating in the bathroom
Heated towel rails, radiators or upgraded pipework can all be done as part of the refit while the walls and floors are open.
Tiling and waterproofing
Shower areas need proper preparation and waterproofing before tiling. Our own tilers handle this, so the finish lasts.
Electrics
Lighting, extractor fans and shaver points must follow bathroom zoning rules. Our electricians handle this as part of the same job.
Accessibility and practical layouts
Lower-level shower trays, walk-in showers, grab rails and better lighting can make a bathroom easier and safer to use. If you are planning for the long term, it is worth thinking about these when the room is stripped back, rather than adding them later.
Keeping disruption manageable
A full refit means the bathroom is out of use for a period. Where we can, we plan the work so water and heating to the rest of the house are interrupted as little as possible, and we explain the order of work before we start so you know what to expect each day.
Bathrooms across Tyneside and the North East
We fit bathrooms in homes ranging from compact terraces to larger family houses across NE, SR and DH postcodes and parts of DL. Narrow and awkwardly shaped bathrooms are common in older properties, and making the best use of the space is often the most valuable part of the design conversation.
FAQs

Do you do the tiling and electrics too?
Yes. We bring in our own tilers and electricians, so the whole bathroom is handled by one team.
Do you take a deposit for bathrooms?
Yes, a 25% deposit applies to full bathroom refits only. We do not take deposits on other jobs.
How much does a new bathroom cost?
It depends on the size of the room, the layout changes and the suite you choose. We provide a clear written quote after visiting: we do not publish prices.
How long does a bathroom refit take?
It depends on the scope, especially if pipework is moved or an en-suite is added. We give you an expected timescale on your quote.
Can you turn my bathroom into a shower room?
Yes, we have converted narrow bathrooms into shower rooms and can suggest layouts that make the best use of the space.
