Over 15 Years of Experience

All our bathroom fitters hold appropriate trade qualifications, including Part P electrical certification and Gas Safe registration where applicable. We carry full public liability insurance.

We provide detailed, itemised quotations before any work begins. No hidden extras, no vague estimates. You'll know exactly what you're paying for and why before we lift a single tool.

Reliable Timelines

We respect your home and your schedule. Most standard bathroom installations are completed within five to eight working days, and we'll communicate clearly throughout β€” no unexplained absences.

From supply and delivery to plumbing, tiling, electrics, and final finishes β€” we manage the entire project in-house. No subcontractor juggling. One point of contact throughout.

Quality That Speaks for Itself

Our workmanship comes with a 10-year guarantee. We use quality-assured fixtures, board-grade waterproofing, and properly specified materials β€” not budget alternatives that fail within years.

Complete strip-out and full installation from bare walls. We handle everything β€” plumbing, boarding, waterproofing, tiling, fitting sanitary ware, electrics, and finishing to a spotless standard.

Wet Room & Walk-In Shower Installation in Haverhill

A properly installed wet room or walk-in shower can transform the way a bathroom feels and functions. We specialise in full wet room conversions and walk-in shower installations β€” from the waterproofing substrate right through to finished drainage, glass, and fixtures.

Every wet room we install uses a tank-grade tanking membrane system with upstanded waterproofing to floor and wall junctions. This isn't optional β€” it's the difference between a wet room that lasts twenty years and one that fails within five.

We install linear drains, point drains, and custom-format drainage channels. Our shower plumbing includes isolation valves, correct fall gradients, and waste connections that meet building regulations. No shortcuts.

Walk-In Showers

Frameless glass, minimal profiles, and precision tiling

Rainfall Showers

Ceiling-fixed and wall-mounted rainfall heads installed correctly

Wet Rooms

Full tanking, gradient screeds, and linear drainage

Shower Trays

Stone resin, low-profile, and flush-fit tray options

Accessible Showers

Level-access, fold-down seats, grab rails, and anti-slip surfaces

Shower Enclosures

Pivot, bi-fold, sliding, and bespoke frameless glass options

What's Included in Our Wet Room Installation

  • Full structural assessment and survey
  • Aqua-board waterproof substrate installation
  • Tanking membrane, fully bonded to walls and floor
  • Gradient screed to fall to drainage point
  • Wall and floor tiling to specification
  • Linear drain or point drain installation
  • Shower plumbing and thermostatic valve fitting
  • Glass panel and screen installation
  • Waterproof LED downlights or strip lighting
  • Extractor fan installation to building regulations
  • Full clean-up and post-installation inspection

Bathroom Plumbing Done Properly

The pipework behind your bathroom walls is every bit as important as what you see. Poor plumbing causes damp, pressure problems, and costly failures down the line. Our bathroom plumbers ensure every installation is built on solid foundations.

What Our Bathroom Plumbing Covers

We carry out full hot and cold pipework upgrades using copper or push-fit systems appropriate to the installation. All waste connections are correctly sized and trapped to prevent sewer gas ingress. We assess water pressure at the outset β€” if your existing supply isn't adequate, we'll advise on pump options or mains pressure upgrades before any fitting begins.

Drainage is one of the most overlooked aspects of bathroom installation. We ensure correct pipe gradients, properly vented waste stacks, and accessible rodding points where needed. Our work is fully Building Regulations compliant and, where required, subject to notification through Building Control.

Tiling & Bathroom Flooring

Tiling is one of those things that looks simple and really isn't. Getting grout lines level, adhesive coverage consistent, and large-format tiles flush takes skill that only comes from experience. Our tilers work to a high standard β€” and it shows.

Our Tiling & Flooring Services

We tile floor-to-ceiling where specified, working with ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, and large-format tiles up to 1200Γ—600mm and beyond. Wall tiles are fixed on moisture-resistant Aqua-board or sand-cement renders, never standard plasterboard. All grout is waterproof-rated and colour-matched to the tile scheme.

For flooring, we install porcelain and ceramic tiles with appropriate anti-slip ratings for wet areas (minimum R10 for bathroom floors), as well as luxury vinyl and engineered surfaces compatible with underfloor heating systems. We also advise on and install electric underfloor heating where clients want that warm-floor luxury without the complexity of wet systems.

Wall Tiling Floor Tiling Anti-Slip Flooring Porcelain Tiles Large Format Tiles Underfloor Heating Natural Stone

Bathroom Ventilation & Lighting Specialists

Two things that most bathroom fitters underdeliver on β€” and two things we take very seriously. Inadequate ventilation causes mould within months. Poor lighting makes any bathroom feel uninviting, regardless of the quality of the fixtures.

Ceiling Extractor Fans

Correctly sized and positioned axial fans with sufficient extraction rate for the bathroom volume. Ducted directly to outside β€” not into a loft void.

Humidity Control

Humidity-sensing extractor fans that activate automatically at 65–80% relative humidity β€” the single most effective solution for preventing condensation and mould growth.

Waterproof LED Lighting

All bathroom lighting is installed to IP65 rating minimum above baths and showers. LED downlights, adjustable colour temperature, and zone-correct wiring throughout.

Illuminated Mirror Lighting

Demister mirror cabinets and LED-lit vanity mirrors provide clean, shadow-free task lighting β€” essential for grooming and far superior to overhead sources alone.

Ventilation Ducting

Rigid or semi-rigid ducting run to the outside of the building, with external grilles fitted. Proper ducting prevents condensation building up inside the duct and keeps fans effective long-term.

Heated Towel Rails

Electric and plumbed heated towel rails installed with correct electrical isolation and, where plumbed, with properly balanced pipework to ensure even heat distribution.

Building Regulations Part F requires adequate ventilation in all new and refurbished bathrooms. We ensure every installation we carry out is compliant β€” which matters not just for comfort, but for home insurance, mortgage valuation, and eventual resale.

Bathroom Design That Works
For You & Your Home

Great bathrooms start with thoughtful design. Before a single tile goes up, we'll help you plan the layout, choose materials, and understand how every decision affects the finished result.

Modern Bathroom Design

Modern bathrooms are defined by clean lines, minimal clutter, and considered material choices. Rather than following trends that date quickly, we help you design spaces built around principles that age well β€” neutral palettes, quality surfaces, and thoughtfully integrated storage.

Wall-hung sanitaryware is a hallmark of the modern bathroom β€” it creates a floating visual effect, simplifies cleaning underneath, and allows height adjustment to your exact preference. Combine this with large-format porcelain, frameless shower screens, and recessed shelf niches for a look that feels genuinely contemporary.

  • Wall-hung WC and basin units
  • Large-format porcelain or rectified tile
  • Frameless or minimal-frame shower screens
  • Concealed or recessed storage niches
  • Monochrome or neutral tonal palettes
  • Brushed brass, matte black, or chrome hardware

Our Recommendation

The Case for Investing in Design

A poorly planned bathroom can be technically perfect in its installation and still feel disappointing to use. Spending time on layout β€” where the door swing is, where natural light enters, how you flow through the space β€” makes a bigger difference to daily satisfaction than any fixture choice. We build this thinking into every project.

Luxury Bathroom Renovation

A luxury bathroom isn't about the most expensive products β€” it's about the quality of the build, the cohesion of the design, and the sense that every element was deliberately chosen. We've installed everything from hand-crafted stone basins and bespoke joinery to statement freestanding baths and digitally-controlled shower systems.

We work with all the major luxury bathroom brands and can source from specialist suppliers where your design requires it. If you have a specific vision, bring it to us β€” mood boards, Pinterest saves, magazine cuttings β€” and we'll tell you honestly what's achievable within your space and budget.

  • Freestanding bath installation
  • Digital shower and bath fill systems
  • Bespoke vanity and storage units
  • Natural stone and book-matched tile effects
  • Underfloor heating throughout
  • Spa-style rainfall and body jet systems

Our Recommendation

Where the Budget Has the Most Impact

In our experience, spending more on the quality of the build β€” waterproofing, pipework, and tiling β€” delivers a far better return than spending more on the fixtures alone. Expensive sanitaryware in a poorly installed bathroom will still cause problems. The reverse is rarely true.

Small Bathroom Design

Small bathrooms are a speciality, not a compromise. With the right layout and the right choices, a 4mΒ² bathroom can feel genuinely spacious and luxurious. The key is understanding which rules to follow and which to break deliberately.

Continuing the same large-format tile from floor to wall eliminates visual breaks that make rooms feel smaller. Wall-hung sanitaryware exposes floor area and creates an open feel. A walk-in shower with frameless glass instead of a shower tray enclosure removes one more boundary from the space. These aren't tricks β€” they're good design principles applied correctly.

  • Continuous floor-to-wall tile to eliminate visual breaks
  • Wall-hung sanitaryware to expose floor area
  • Over-bath or walk-in shower replacing tray enclosures
  • Recessed mirror cabinets for concealed storage
  • Light, reflective surfaces and well-placed lighting
  • Cloakroom-depth basins and compact WC options

Our Recommendation

Rethink the Layout First

In most small bathrooms we visit, the original layout was never optimised for the space. Moving the WC or repositioning the basin β€” even by 200–300mm β€” can dramatically improve flow and usable floor space. We always produce a layout plan before specifying anything else.

Traditional Bathroom Design

Traditional bathrooms work brilliantly in period properties and homes where you want warmth and character rather than cool minimalism. Roll-top baths, metro brick tiles, traditional cross-head taps, and warm timber vanities β€” installed with the same precision and quality we bring to any other style.

We source from suppliers who specialise in period-style sanitaryware, ensuring that products genuinely deliver on their visual promise. Traditional doesn't mean inferior β€” these components are often built to a higher standard than their modern equivalents and designed to last decades.

  • Roll-top and slipper bath installation
  • Traditional column radiators and towel rails
  • Metro, brick, and relief-pattern wall tiles
  • Cross-head taps and shower fittings
  • Solid oak and painted timber vanity units
  • Encaustic, quarry, and natural stone flooring

Our Recommendation

Period Detail Needs Period Care

Traditional bathrooms in older Suffolk homes sometimes present structural surprises β€” uneven floors, non-standard room proportions, or lath-and-plaster walls. Our experience with period properties means we identify these early and plan accordingly, rather than discovering them mid-installation.

Our Bathroom Installation Process

We've developed a clear, structured approach to bathroom installation that keeps everything on track, on budget, and stress-free for you. Here's what to expect from enquiry to completion.

Step 01

Initial Consultation & Free Quote

We'll visit your home at a time that suits you, listen to what you have in mind, assess the existing space, and provide a free, detailed, itemised quotation. No obligation, no pressure. You'll receive a written breakdown of all costs within 48 hours of our visit.

Step 02

Design & Material Selection

Once you've agreed to proceed, we'll help you finalise the design β€” layout, tile choices, sanitaryware, fixtures, and finishes. We can work with your own selections or guide you through suppliers we trust. Everything is agreed in writing before any work starts.

Step 03

Scheduling & Supply

We'll confirm your installation dates and arrange supply and delivery of all materials. We coordinate deliveries so everything arrives on site when needed β€” avoiding the common problem of materials sitting in your living room for weeks.

Step 04

Strip-Out & Preparation

Day one typically involves careful removal of the existing bathroom, making good any structural issues discovered, and preparing the substrate β€” correct boarding, damp membrane where needed, and a clean, true surface ready for the new installation.

Step 05

First Fix Plumbing & Electrics

Pipework is repositioned or upgraded as required. Waste runs are formed and confirmed to fall. Electrical first fix β€” cable routes for extraction, lighting, and any heated elements β€” is completed before any surfaces are closed up. All work is tested and notified where required.

Step 06

Waterproofing & Boarding

Aqua-board or cement board is fitted to all wet areas. Tanking membrane is applied to floors and walls of shower zones and wet rooms, fully bonded at all junctions. This stage is invisible in the finished bathroom β€” but it's what makes the difference between a lasting installation and a failing one.

Step 07

Tiling

Wall and floor tiles are set out carefully from the most visible point, adhesive coverage checked throughout, and grout lines maintained consistently. Large-format tiles are back-buttered as well as adhesive-bedded for full coverage. Grout is colour-matched and sealed.

Step 08

Second Fix β€” Fitting & Connection

Sanitaryware, shower fittings, brassware, heated towel rails, mirrors, and accessories are all fitted and connected. Electrical second fix β€” extraction, lighting, and underfloor heating β€” is completed and tested. The bathroom begins to take its final form.

Step 09

Snagging, Inspection & Handover

We carry out a thorough internal snagging check before we ask you to inspect. Everything is cleaned down, sealants are checked, all functions are tested. We walk you through the finished bathroom and answer any questions. You'll receive care and maintenance guidance and a written workmanship guarantee.

Bathroom Installation FAQs

Honest answers to the questions we get asked most often by homeowners across Haverhill and Suffolk.

Bathroom installation costs vary considerably depending on the size of the room, the scope of work, and the specification you choose. A standard bathroom replacement (like-for-like, existing layout) typically starts from around Β£3,500–£5,500 including labour and standard sanitaryware. A fully specified new layout with quality tiles, wet room shower, and new pipework will generally sit in the Β£7,000–£15,000+ range. We provide free, detailed, itemised quotations so you know exactly what you're paying for β€” contact us to arrange a home visit.
Most standard bathroom installations take between five and eight working days from strip-out to final handover. More complex projects β€” full wet rooms, structural alterations, or larger family bathrooms β€” may take ten to fourteen days. We give you a clear programme before we start and keep you updated throughout. We don't disappear for days at a time.
Either approach works for us. Many clients prefer to choose their own tiles and sanitary ware and supply them to site β€” which is absolutely fine. Alternatively, we can supply everything through our trade accounts, often at prices comparable to or better than retail. If you're supplying items yourself, we'll provide a schedule of what's needed and when, and advise on quantities to avoid under-ordering.
A walk-in shower uses a shower tray (flat or low-profile) contained within an area demarcated by glass screens or walls. A wet room is a fully waterproofed, open shower space where the entire floor drains β€” there's no tray at all. Both require proper waterproofing to perform correctly. Wet rooms are particularly good for accessibility, for creating a spa-like aesthetic, and for smaller spaces where a tray enclosure would feel cramped.
Yes, fully. All our bathroom installation teams hold relevant trade qualifications and we carry full public liability insurance. Our electrical work is carried out by or overseen by Part P certified electricians. Where any plumbing or heating work involves gas, our engineers are Gas Safe registered. We're happy to provide copies of our insurance and qualification certificates on request.
Yes β€” this is one of the things we believe sets us apart. We don't ask you to co-ordinate between a plumber, an electrician, a tiler, and a general builder. We manage the entire project in-house with a consistent team and a single point of contact for you throughout. All trades are scheduled in the correct sequence, materials are delivered when needed, and you deal with us β€” not a relay of different contractors.
Absolutely β€” in fact, we consider small and awkward bathroom challenges something we do particularly well. Space-saving sanitaryware, clever layout planning, wall-hung fittings, and design choices that open up small spaces visually are all part of our toolkit. We've installed bathrooms in some genuinely challenging spaces across Suffolk β€” loft conversions, under-stair cloakrooms, and narrow Victorian terraces included.
In most cases, no β€” bathroom installation is considered permitted development and doesn't require planning permission. However, Building Regulations may apply to the electrical installation (Part P), ventilation (Part F), and in some cases structural alterations. We handle all necessary notifications as part of the project, so you don't need to navigate this yourself.
We'll give you a clear pre-start checklist when the project is confirmed. Generally, you'll need to clear the bathroom of personal items and toiletries, ensure there's reasonable access to your property, and confirm water shut-off locations. We handle dust protection to adjoining rooms and will keep you informed each day about what work is planned and what β€” if anything β€” you need to prepare for the following morning.
We provide a 10-year workmanship guarantee on all bathroom installations. This covers any defects in the installation itself β€” if anything we've fitted fails due to poor workmanship within that period, we'll return and put it right at no cost. Product guarantees vary by manufacturer and are in addition to our workmanship guarantee. All guarantees are provided in writing at handover.
We can help as much or as little as you like. Some clients arrive with everything specified down to the tile reference number β€” others arrive knowing they want a nice new bathroom and little else. Both are fine. We'll guide you through layout options, show you examples of similar projects, discuss what works well in similar-sized spaces, and help you build a design brief that reflects what you actually want from the space.
For most homeowners who have it installed, yes β€” without question. Electric underfloor heating (the most practical choice for bathroom retrofits) is relatively inexpensive to add during a full installation, costs very little to run for short periods, and makes a genuine difference to daily comfort. It's far more pleasant than cold tiles underfoot on a winter morning. We always recommend including it when a full strip-out is being done, as the additional cost at that stage is modest.
Yes, and we take these projects seriously. Accessible bathroom design isn't just about adding grab rails β€” it requires thinking about transfer space, floor gradients, fixture heights, door widths, and the specific needs of the individual. We work with occupational therapists' recommendations where provided, and can advise on available grant funding (such as Disabled Facilities Grants from local councils) that may contribute to the cost.
We cover Haverhill and a wide area of the surrounding county, including Lavenham, Glemsford, Nayland, Stoke by Clare, Lawshall, Alpheton, Layham, Buxhall, Ringshall, Wattisham, Levington, Rivenhall, Sudbury, Long Melford, Clare, and many other towns and villages across Suffolk. If you're unsure whether we cover your location, give us a call β€” we're often able to travel further than you might expect.
