A refresh may be enough

FAQ

Bathroom questions

What drives the cost of a bathroom renovation?

Whether fixtures move, how much area is waterproofed and tiled, and the fixtures and vanity you choose.

Why does waterproofing cost more than the tile?

Tile is a surface; the membrane behind it decides whether the room lasts.

Can we use the bathroom during the work?

Not that one, and if it is your only bathroom, the toilet and shower come back first.

Is a permit needed?

Not for a like-for-like refit, but moving drains usually does, and we handle it.

What about mould we find once it is open?

We show you and price it before continuing.
