What is a Bathroom Renovation?
A bathroom renovation is a lot more than just replacing a bathtub or basin; a renovation indicates that it is going to see complete changes in the interior and exterior of the bathroom. This involves pipework, electrical connections, improved ventilation and waterproofing, which will all be done to a good standard before the new suite and tiling go in; that's why a well-renovated bathroom lasts for decades instead of getting leaks and damp within a few years. Bathroom renovations are one of the most common home improvement projects in London, ensuring there is a stunning transformation that not only saves money but also gets an amazing return on investment and is used daily by the household.
Why Is A Bathroom Renovation A Smart Investment In London?
Another plus side is it's an opportunity to rectify problems that've plagued you for a long time: poor layout, weak water pressure, damp, mould or a shower that never just seemed to be okay. For the homeowner, it provides a better everyday life and for the landlord, a better rental value and reduced amount of void periods. It is one of the most cost-effective upgrades to make on the penny.
Types Of Bathroom Renovations We Offer
We design and build every type of bathroom. The right approach depends on your space, your household and your budget. Here is a clear guide.
Full Bathroom Renovation London
A full bathroom renovation transforms every part of your existing space, including plumbing, electrics, waterproofing, tiling, fixtures, and finishes. It's the ideal solution for outdated or damaged bathrooms, delivering a modern, cohesive design with improved functionality, durability, comfort, and long-term value for your home.
En-Suite Bathroom Installation London
Installing an en-suite bathroom is a smart, tasteful way to get a private bathroom that is attached to your bedroom. It optimises efficient use of space, adds convenience to everyday use, fosters privacy and also provides added value to your property with an elegant and functional layout for the contemporary environment.
Wet Room Installation London
A wet room features a fully waterproofed, level-access shower area without the need for a shower tray or enclosure. Its open-plan design creates a spacious, contemporary appearance while offering easy maintenance, excellent accessibility, and a practical solution for both small and modern bathrooms.
Small Bathroom & Cloakroom Renovation London
Small bathroom and cloakroom modifications emphasize stylish ways to expand limited spaces making them bigger, brighter and more functional. Our smart layouts, space-efficient fixtures and high-quality finishes combine to produce functional bathrooms, which help to maximise every inch of space to look stylish, position them for maximum access and comfort, and simplify optimal use of the space.
Luxury & Spa Bathroom London
A luxury spa bathroom combines premium fixtures, elegant finishes, and bespoke design to create a relaxing retreat within your home. Features such as freestanding baths, walk-in showers, underfloor heating, and designer tiles deliver exceptional comfort, sophistication, and lasting value for discerning homeowners.
Accessible & Mobility Bathroom London
Made safe, comfortable and independent with style and special considerations, accessible and mobility bathrooms make it easier for everyone to use them. Level-access showers, grab rails, non-slip flooring and easy-to-use fittings offer solutions that are practical for any aging adult, or for people with disabilities and those with reduced movement ability that could require increased access to the bathroom.

Bathroom Renovation Cost In London
The cost of a bathroom renovation in London depends on the size of the room, whether the layout is changing, the specification of the suite and tiling, and any extras such as underfloor heating. Because every bathroom is different, we provide a free site visit and an accurate, itemised written quote rather than a one-size-fits-all price.
The main factors that affect the cost of your bathroom renovation are:
Room size
Larger bathrooms need more tiling, materials and labour.
Layout changes
Moving the bath, shower, basin or WC means new pipework and adds cost.
Suite specification
Your choice of bath, shower, basin and WC.
Tiling
The type, quality and area of tiling makes a real difference.
Waterproofing & preparation
Tanking, boarding and any repairs to floors or walls.
Extras
Underfloor heating, heated towel rails, lighting and ventilation upgrades.
Rather than guess, we give you a clear, itemised quote so you know exactly what you are paying for.

We finalise the layout, bathroom suite, tiles, fixtures and finishes to suit your style and needs.

We remove the existing bathroom, prepare the room and complete the first-fix plumbing and electrical work.

Bathroom Renovation Timeline
Every project is different, but a typical full bathroom renovation in London runs to roughly this schedule:
Days 1–2
Strip-out, removal of the old suite and preparation.
Days 3–4
First-fix plumbing and electrics, any layout changes.
Days 5–6
Boarding, waterproofing and tanking.
Days 7–9

Day 14
Sealing, decorating, final finishing and handover.
Most bathrooms take around two to three weeks; wet rooms and luxury bathrooms may take longer. We confirm a realistic schedule in your quote.
Planning Permission For Bathroom Renovations
No, in almost all cases. Renovating an existing bathroom is internal work that does not change the building's structure or external appearance, so planning permission is not required. Consent may be needed only for listed buildings, properties in conservation areas, or where the work involves an extension or external alteration. In general, replacing a bathroom suite, retiling, rewiring, replumbing and changing the internal layout can all proceed without planning permission. Even adding a new bathroom within your existing home — for example in a loft conversion or a spare room — does not usually require planning consent, though it must comply with Building Regulations. You will typically need consent only if the property is a listed building (where internal alterations can be restricted), sits within a conservation area or under an Article 4 direction, or if the project includes an extension, a new external soil pipe or other visible external change. Where any consent is required, we assess your property and handle the process for you. Always confirm requirements with your local planning authority before starting work.
