1. Set Your Budget and Timeline

Before choosing tiles or fixtures, start with a clear budget and realistic timescale. Bathroom installations typically take between one and two weeks, depending on the size and complexity. Factor in materials, labour, and any specialist trades. Having a solid plan avoids costly surprises later.

2. Choose the Right Layout

A functional layout makes all the difference. Consider how you use the space daily — is a walk-in shower more practical than a bath? Do you need additional storage or double sinks? Small layout changes, such as moving pipework, can dramatically improve comfort and flow.

3. Select Quality Materials

Your choice of tiles, fixtures, and fittings sets the tone. Large-format porcelain tiles create a sleek, modern look, while mosaics can add stylish detail in niches or shower areas. Always prioritise waterproofing products such as tanking systems, primers, and high-performance adhesives — these ensure your bathroom lasts for years.

4. Work with Certified Trades

Bathrooms combine multiple trades: tiling, plumbing, and electrics. While we handle the tiling, our trusted partners — fully qualified plumbers and Part P registered electricians — complete all plumbing and electrical work safely and to regulation standards. This guarantees peace of mind, with certification provided where required.

5. Don’t Forget the Finishing Touches

The final details elevate a bathroom from good to exceptional. High-quality silicone, precise trim installation, stylish lighting, and a professional clean leave your space looking flawless. It’s the difference between a rushed job and a luxury finish.
