Questions before you start
Renovation questions answered clearly
How long does a bathroom renovation usually take?
Most standard installations take one to two weeks once products are ready, depending on layout changes, tiling detail and any building work. We confirm the schedule before work begins.
Do you handle plumbing, electrics and tiling?
Yes. The project is planned as one managed renovation, including the trades needed for plumbing, electrics, ventilation, waterproofing, tiling and fitting.
Can you help us choose products and finishes?
Yes. The design visit covers layout, suite choices, storage, brassware, tiles, lighting and practical details such as cleaning and ventilation.
Can you create a walk-in shower or wet room?
Yes. We can plan walk-in showers, wet-room-style layouts and future-ready options, subject to room structure and drainage requirements.
Will our home be left tidy during the work?
Dust sheets, respectful access, daily tidy-up and a final clean are built into the installation plan.
