Do You Wish You Had A Bigger Bathroom With More Facilities?
In a lot of UK houses there is a separate WC & bathroom due to the Victorians.
When water was first pumped into houses directly in the 19th century, people added sinks and taps to their existing washstands in their bedrooms and put the toilet into whatever closet in the hall they could find, hence the term “water closet” or WC.’
Later, bathing facilities were often added to a spare room near the WC to keep drainage simple.
This is why many UK bathrooms have a small WC at the top of the stairs and a separate bathroom at the back.
BUT did you know that you are not stuck with this 19th century invention?
BUT did you know that you are not stuck with this 19th century invention?
You have the option of bringing your outdated space into the 21s century by knocking through the WC & bathroom into one big, bright room. You can even use the old WC as a large shower (or even walk in wet room!)
As well as having a beautiful new bright bathroom with a HUGE shower, you could actually wash your hands after using the loo without going into a different room. Great idea, right!
We’ve done loads of these, and we LOVE them as they have a massive ‘before & after’ type impact.
Recent Project
If you’ve been thinking about doing this for a while, take a leaf out of our customer Paul’s book.
He wanted to be able to walk into a brand new HUGE walk-in shower with integrated storage to keep things tidy, surrounded by beautiful fixtures that made him feel good, in a new bathroom flooded with natural light from 2 windows.
So, he called us.
Before
After
“The Bathroom Guru team did a fantastic job of completely renovating my bathroom in just over two weeks.
This involved knocking through the previously separate toilet and bathroom, re-plastering, all plumbing work and full tiling of the whole bathroom.
All of the work was done to a high standard and for a good price.
Prior to the work, Chris the Project Manager was able to guide me through the process of designing the layout of the new bathroom and selecting the most appropriate fittings.
The Bathroom Guru website was very helpful to understanding the process, and the approach to quoting for the work was detailed and honest.
Everyone at Bathroom Guru were incredibly friendly to work with
and I won’t hesitate to use them for future projects.” (Houzz review)

Why Choose Us
My customers were savvy enough to realise that they probably couldn’t effectively plan the work on their own (where to start?!) and they knew they definitely didn’t want the hassle of having to find the whole team of tradesmen this type of work requires:
Designer
Joiner
Plumber
Tiler
Roofer (potentially)
Electrician
Plasterer
Painter & Decorator
What were they going to do, get 3 quotes for each trade and then patch all their separate tradesmen into some kind of team? They’d have to wait in for 30 different tradesmen – God knows how many of which would even show up, or give them a quote even if they did!
And the work itself would take months as each trade became available! But disregarding that, they just didn’t want to plant themselves squarely in the middle of all these people to manage the job without any real knowledge or know how of how the job should be done.
Our Expertise
Me & my team have designed, planned and then subsequently installed loads of bathrooms (like Paul’s) to a high standard.
