Need a Bathroom Fixture Fitted or Replaced?
Bathroom fitting work can be simple or more involved depending on the fixture, existing plumbing, waste connections, layout and condition of the bathroom.
A toilet, basin, shower, bath or tap may look straightforward to replace, but the surrounding pipework and fittings should be checked before work starts.

Basin & tap fittingWhat We Check Before Fitting Bathroom Fixtures?
Good bathroom fitting depends on more than attaching a new fixture. The water supply, waste pipe, access, fixture size and condition of the surrounding area all affect the result.
Existing Pipework
We check whether the current hot and cold water supplies, waste pipes and connections are suitable for the new fixture.
Fixture Compatibility
We look at whether the new toilet, basin, bath, shower or tap is suitable for the existing space and connection points.
Access
Some fitting work depends on whether there is enough access to remove the old fixture, connect pipework and complete the work properly.
Water Pressure
Some showers, taps and fittings may depend on suitable water pressure and the wider plumbing system.
Signs of Leaks or Damage
Before fitting new fixtures, it is important to check for damp patches, damaged flooring, failed seals or previous leak issues.
Finishing Requirements
Bathroom fitting may also involve sealant, wastes, traps, fixing points and other details that help the fixture work properly.

How long will I be without a working bathroom?
For a straightforward replacement in the same layout, the room is out of use for most of the working days of the job, with the toilet normally back in service earliest and the shower last. The sequence is what drives it: strip out, first-fix plumbing, any plastering, tiling, grouting and silicone, then second-fix and the screen. Tiling and grouting need drying time that cannot be compressed, and that is usually the longest wait rather than the labour. If it is your only bathroom, say so at the quoting stage: where the plumbing allows, the order of work can be arranged so the toilet is reconnected at the end of each day, and that single decision makes living in the house through the job far more tolerable. Moving fixtures into new positions adds time, because waste runs and pipework have to be rerouted before anything can be closed up.
How much does it cost to fit a bathroom in North West London?
We do not publish a fixed price, because the fittings you choose often account for more of the total than the labour does, so a headline figure would tell you very little. The things that move the number most are: whether the layout stays the same or fixtures move; whether it is a suite replacement or a full strip back to brick; how much tiling there is and what size the tiles are, since large-format tiles need a flatter substrate and more preparation; whether the floor needs levelling or the joists need attention once the old floor is lifted; and whether the pipework behind the old bathroom is sound or needs replacing. We would rather quote after seeing the room. Photographs of the bathroom and of the ceiling below it make the first conversation considerably more useful.
Can you fit a bathroom suite I have bought myself?
Yes. Send us the product pages or model numbers before the fitting date, because most problems with customer-supplied fittings are compatibility rather than quality: a basin whose waste position does not line up with the existing trap, a shower valve needing different pipe centres, a wall-hung toilet needing a frame the wall cannot carry, or a bath needing a specific waste depth for the floor build-up. Checking that in advance costs nothing and is far better than finding out on the day with the old bathroom already out. It also helps to have everything on site and unpacked before work starts, so a missing part does not halt the job midway.
Can I move the toilet, bath or shower to a different wall?
Usually yes, but the toilet is what decides how difficult it becomes, because it has to reach the soil pipe. In a typical 1930s semi in Mill Hill, Edgware or Hendon the soil stack runs down the flank or rear elevation and the bathroom sits above the kitchen, so moving the toilet more than a short distance means either running waste beneath the floor with enough fall or fitting a macerator, and the floor build-up does not always give you the fall you need. In a Victorian terrace the stack is normally on the rear addition, which often allows a little more freedom. Basins and baths are much easier to move, because their waste is smaller and more forgiving of a shallow run. Tell us where you want things before the design is settled rather than after, since the position of the soil connection frequently decides the whole layout.
What usually turns up once the old bathroom comes out?
Most often the floor. Under a bath in an older local property you regularly find chipboard that has been damp for years and gone soft, or floorboards cut about by previous plumbing work and never properly supported. After that it is pipework, such as old steel or lead runs or buried joints where they should not be, and walls that are not flat enough to tile without preparation. Lath and plaster in a Victorian or Edwardian terrace frequently needs overboarding rather than patching before large tiles will sit correctly. None of this is unusual and none of it is a disaster, but it is real work that genuinely cannot be seen at the quoting stage. What matters is how it is handled: we show you what has been found, explain what it changes in time and cost, and agree it with you before carrying on rather than presenting it at the end.
Who does the electrics, and do you carry out gas work?
Electrical work, meaning the extractor fan, shaver socket, lighting, underfloor heating and any electric shower, is carried out by a registered electrician we arrange rather than by the fitting team. Gas is simpler: we are not Gas Safe registered and we do not carry out gas work ourselves, so anything involving a boiler or a gas supply must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Most bathroom fitting does not touch gas at all, but it is worth knowing before you book, particularly if the job would involve moving a boiler or a gas-fired towel rail.
