We come and look before a single tile comes off.

What we look at in your bathroom.
Five things we check, and all of them sit under the tiles. Below you can see where.
- the floorIs it flat, dry and strong enough to build on?
- moistureIs it in the grout, behind the sealant, or in the walls themselves?
- the fallsDoes the water genuinely run to the waste?
- the pipeworkWhat is down there, and how much of it is still worth keeping?
- the roomWhat will actually fit and work in your bathroom?
With that report in your hand you can compare anyone. Us included.
What customers say.
In their own words.
Good service, lovely people. Always reply quickly and very professional. Really pleased with the whole crew!
Kerry B.Straight away you could tell they knew what they were doing. Turned up when they said, worked carefully, and when extra bits came up they dealt with them and suggested fixes themselves rather than waiting to be asked. Very happy with both the bathroom and the cloakroom.
Ed W.We had the main bathroom and the downstairs loo done. From the first visit to the last day it was properly organised and someone always told us what was happening next. The whole thing went quicker than we expected and the finish is excellent. What I appreciated most was that when we changed our minds about the shower tray halfway through, nobody sighed at us, they just worked out how to do it. Small snags at the end were sorted without us having to chase. Would use them again without hesitating.

Know what is under your tiles before you choose.
At your house or online, your choice. We go through all of it: the floor, the grout, the sealant, the falls, the waste. After that you know exactly what is going on and what will work in your room.

Questions everyone asks.
What does a bathroom cost?
It depends on what is behind your walls, which is the honest answer and the reason we look before quoting. The costs page shows how to build the figure up yourself so you can price any quote you are holding.
Where do I wash while the bathroom is out?
Most people use a cloakroom or a neighbour for the two to three weeks. We tell you at the survey exactly which days the water is off rather than leaving you to find out.
How do I know my bathroom was waterproofed properly?
You cannot see it once it is tiled, which is the problem. The self-checks on this page are the closest you get without opening anything up.
How long does a bathroom renovation take?
Two to three weeks. That is drying time, not slowness. Anyone promising it inside a week is compressing stage eight.
What guarantee do I get?
Five years on installation and fitting, one year on grouting and sealant, in writing. The market gives one to three years and sometimes nothing at all.
Is it better at my house or online?
At your house, every time. The whole value of the survey is somebody looking at the thing, and nobody can assess a substrate through a phone screen.
Am I committed to anything?
No. You get the report either way and you can take it to anyone. That is the point of it.
What if there is nothing wrong?
Then that is what the report says, and you have a written record that your room is sound. That is a perfectly good outcome.
