Absolutely. We offer free home consultations where we take measurements, discuss your vision, and provide a detailed, fixed-price quotation. There's no obligation and no pressure.

A typical bathroom installation takes 7–14 days depending on the scope of work. Wet rooms may take slightly longer due to the tanking and waterproofing process. We'll give you an honest timeline upfront and stick to it.

No. We provide fixed-price quotations. The price you see is the price you pay. If we discover any unforeseen issues during the project (e.g., hidden plumbing problems), we'll discuss them with you before proceeding and agree any additional costs upfront.

No — all our packages are supply and install only. We source and supply all materials ourselves to ensure quality, compatibility, and a seamless finish. This also allows us to offer fixed-price packages with no surprises, and means every product is covered under our guarantee. We work with trusted suppliers and premium brands to deliver the best results for your budget.

Wet Rooms

A wet room is a fully waterproofed bathroom where the shower area is open (no shower tray or enclosure). The floor is gently sloped towards a drain, and the entire room is tanked to prevent water damage. Wet rooms are modern, accessible, and easier to clean than traditional bathrooms.

In most cases, yes. We'll assess your space during the free consultation to confirm suitability. Key considerations include floor construction (timber or concrete), drainage access, and room size. We'll advise you honestly on what's possible.

Not when installed correctly. We use professional tanking systems that create a completely watertight seal across the entire room. Combined with precision gradient formation for drainage, our wet rooms are built to last without any leak concerns.
