With all of our bathroom installations, we ensure that the appropriate, correct materials are used and installed in accordance with British Standards.
With this in mind, it is often necessary to completely strip out the old bathroom and replace wall coverings with a variety of modern materials, including moisture proof plasterboard and cement based tile backer boards.
Cement boards do not break down over time and are designed for the permanent and safe installation of wall tiles in wet areas such as showers.
6mm cement boards are also installed to accept floor tiles, creating a completely sound sub floor without raising the floor height above that of adjoining rooms.
We can make changes to the position of internal walls, or create a bespoke layout for shower enclosures and to hide pipework.
New pipework is installed to service the planned layout of the new bathroom, and then pressure tested to confirm no leaks.

After the 'first fix' plumbing and electrical work has been completed we are able to re-build walls and ceilings using the most appropriate material.
Plasterboard can safely take light weight tiles, but for heavier tiles and wet areas we always install 12mm cement boards.
In shower areas we also apply a waterproof tanking system to make the area completely watertight.

Any plastering is completed and then 6mm cement boards are glued and screwed into place to give a sound base for floor tiles.
The whole room is then ready for tiling.

Tiling is completed to British Standards using the correct adhesives and primers.
We will use tile leveling systems where needed to give a 'lippage' free final finish.
After tiling is complete we install the various bathroom fixtures & fittings, then seal up and test everything.
At this point we would also complete any electrical work, usually downlighters, fans, shaver points and illuminated mirrors and cabinets.

And to complete the job, we do any final joinery work, skirting boards, door architrave, window reveals etc.
We can also make customised bath and shower panels, painted to match existing furniture.
