What we do

We install quality bathrooms from start to finish, with all the bits in between taken care of.

We provide advice and guidance during a free site survey, and we have a blog with lots of articles that cover frequently asked questions and show you examples of our recent work.

We install bathrooms from start to finish, supplying all the necessary trades and project managing the whole process, so you don’t have to! We normally supply & fit bathroom suites but in this example we fitted a customer supplied suite.

We work to detailed, itemised estimates with fixed costs, so you can budget properly without fear of unexpected skyrocketing prices.

Our focus is on doing a proper job for a fair price in a reasonable time – see here for more info or contact me for a quote.

Case study

Bathroom Plan With Bathroom Installation In Leeds

As part of this recent bathroom fitting in Pudsey, the following work was done:

Removing A Lat And Plaster Wall With Bathroom Installation In Leeds

2 x walls were stripped back during the ‘gutting’ stage to be reboarded. The lat & plaster wall above was stripped back to the studs to be reboarded to ensure the wall was perfectly flat and capable of taking the weight of the large porcelain wall tiles.

Please see here for more information on preparing walls prior to tiling.

Above you can see how the old toilet pan has been left in situ for the customer to use during the renovation work.

The walls were then reboarded after pipework was run in the void where necessary to suit the new design / layout:

The combined waste pipework for the basin & bath was run in the wall & under the bath, then under the floor to the drains outside the property for a neat finish that negated the need for any boxing in.

Hot and cold pipework was also run in the walls for the wall hung basin:

Shower pipework was hidden within a newly built stud wall that would seperate the basin area behind it from the bath / shower, and provide a surface onto which the shower & glass bath screen could be sited.

How we helped this customer
  1. We worked with the customers existing suite & tile choices that they had sourced independently.
  2. We provided a turn key bathroom installation comprising of bringing together the following trades:
  • labourers for the rip out
  • plasterer for the ceiling & walls
  • painter & decorator for the walls & ceiling
  • plumber for fitting the bathroom suite
  • tiler for the wall & floor tiling

All these trades were managed to complete the bathroom in under 2 weeks.

We also arranged for the waste disposal via our local skip supplier (in areas where access is limited we have other means of waste removal so don’t worry.)
