Sanitaryware and tiling
You can buy your own sanitaryware and tiles, online or from a showroom, or it can run through us. Where it comes from does not matter to us as long as the quality holds up.
What we do.
- Checking what you have chosen actually fits
- Before it is ordered, not after it arrives. Dimensions, waste positions and whether the wall will carry it.
- Tile setting out
- Where the cuts land is decided before the first tile goes on, because a cut in the wrong place is visible for as long as the room exists.
- Fitting
- Brassware, screens, frames and waste, connected and tested rather than connected and hoped for.
- Ordering through us, if you would rather
- At what it costs us plus the handling. We are not making our margin on your taps.
- organic-shaped mirror
- stone basins
- copper taps
- marble effect
- mosaic band
- vanity unit
- lit oval mirror
- glass shower screen
- black vanity unit
Why it works this way.
Buying it yourself is genuinely fine
Plenty of firms insist you buy through them. We do not, because the part you are paying us for is the fitting, and nobody should be charged twice for the same room.
The fit is checked before the order, not after
The expensive version of this conversation is the one that happens when a vanity unit is already in the hall and the waste is in the wrong place.
Quality is the only thing we are fussy about
If something will not last, we will say so before it goes in rather than after it fails. That is the whole of our opinion on where you shop.
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.
Is your question not here? Ask it here and you will have an answer within 24 hours.
We come and look before a single tile comes off.
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.
