Bathroom Installation Stage Explained
We will be in touch no later than the Friday before your week-commencing start date to confirm your exact start day. Unless otherwise specified, your fitter will arrive between 7:30am and 9:30am.
Time is taken at the start of each day to sheet up and protect carpets, flooring and access routes before work begins. Your existing bathroom is carefully stripped out and waste removed responsibly as the project progresses.
First fix, waterproofing and preparation
Once the space is prepared, first-fix plumbing and electrics are carried out. Pipework, waste and electrical points are repositioned to suit the new layout and checked for compliance.
Interim payment during installation
Halfway through your project, a 65% interim payment is required. This is payable by cheque, BACS or direct card payment.
Tiling, second fix and finishing
Walls and floors are prepared in line with the agreed design, with care taken over alignment and finishing details. Second-fix installation then takes place, including baths, showers, toilets, basins, furniture, brassware and accessories
Keep you in the loop every step of the way
You will have a lead fitter who carries out all aspects of your bathroom renovation and remains your day-to-day point of contact throughout. Should any unforeseen issues arise, these will always be discussed with you before any action is taken.
Tidy up at the end of each day
We aim to keep disruption to a minimum wherever possible. Your fitter will tidy up at the end of each working day, and we will never leave you without a working toilet.
Final checks, handover and aftercare
As the installation nears completion, final checks are carried out and any snags addressed. The bathroom is cleaned and prepared for handover, and everything is demonstrated to you.
When your job is practically complete, your final invoice for the remaining 10% will be raised. This is payable by cheque, BACS or direct card payment.
We offer a 3-year insurance-backed installation guarantee on all workmanship within the retail market for products specified and sold on or after 1 January 2023. This is further supported by manufacturers’ warranties on products supplied.
