Is it a master bathroom, powder bathroom or a kid’s bathroom?

• How often will it be used and for what function?
• How many people will use it?
• How does the current space in it hinder your routine and what space improvements would you like to have?
• Do you want a bathroom that is easy to clean or do you wish only to increase your home resale value?

Step 4: Demolition and initial cleaning

This process involves breaking away your old & tired bathroom. All of your personal items must be removed prior to this stage, we can always help if you need large items moving. Any fixture that will be saved or reused during the bathroom renovation process is carefully removed and stored.

Step 5: Installing Plumbing

This step in the bathroom renovation involves installing and connecting pipe work & drainage.

Step 6: Electrical Works

In many older homes, the bathroom renovation process may involve changing some wiring. In newer homes, they might only be checked or changed depending on if you need an upgrade on your lighting system.

Step 7: Insulations, Drywall and Plastering

Aqua check boards are installed in wet areas & we can also insulate the walls whilst they are open. For solid brick homes they would need plastering, found more often in older homes.

Step 8: Tile Installation

This process in the bathroom renovation involves adding a stunning wall & floor finis. It is a real skill to get the right set outs and tile layouts, something we excel at!

Step 9: Installation of Plumbing and Electrical Fixtures

This stage of your bathroom renovation is what we call second fixing. It is very exciting – it’s where you see all your personal styles and items come together!

Step 10: Painting

Now for the finishing touches, your cornice, un-tiled walls, ceilings or woodwork will finish off your bathroom renovation perfectly with a coat of paint.

Step 12: Clean up and enjoy!
