About Us - Local Bathroom Fitting Service, Nottingham

When you're looking for a local bathroom fitting service in Nottingham, you want a straight answer to a simple question: who's actually going to be in your house, and can you trust them with it. We're a family-run bathroom fitting business that's been working in Nottingham and the wider Nottinghamshire area for twenty years, and this page is where we tell you plainly who we are, who does the work, and what you can expect before you pick up the phone.

We're not a call centre that farms your job out to whoever's free that week. The same small group of tradespeople has been doing our plumbing, joinery, electrics and plastering for years, several of them since the business first started, and every job runs on a written contract with a formal sign-off at the end, backed by a five-year guarantee on labour and installation and a two-year guarantee on the products we supply.

• Initial design and layout advice, including checking what your existing soil pipe, stopcock and electrics can and can't support before anything is drawn up
• Supply of the bathroom suite, tiles, shower enclosure or bath, and fittings, either through our own suppliers or to a spec you've already chosen
• Plumbing carried out to NVQ Level 2 and City & Guilds standard, including moving pipework where the new layout needs it
• Electrical work completed by Part P approved installers, covering new lighting circuits, shaver points, extractor fans and consumer unit checks where relevant
• Gas work completed by Gas Safe registered engineers where a combi boiler or gas-fired towel rail is involved
• Joinery carried out by City & Guilds trained tradespeople, including boxing in pipework, fitting vanity units and building bespoke shelving or storage
• Plastering by a tradesperson with 40 years' experience, covering skimming after first fix and any repairs to walls disturbed during strip-out
• Full waste and rubbish clearance from the old bathroom, handled by a licensed carrier so nothing ends up fly-tipped or in your own bin
• Project management throughout, so you have one point of contact rather than juggling five separate trades and five separate diaries

• Structural work outside the bathroom footprint, such as removing a load-bearing wall to enlarge the room, which needs a structural engineer and building control sign-off first and isn't priced into a standard refit
• Rerouting external soil pipes or drainage runs beyond the house, which is a groundworks job and gets quoted separately if a site visit shows it's needed
• Underfloor heating and heated flooring systems, which we can fit but which sit outside a standard suite-and-tiling quote and are costed as an add-on
• Bespoke fitted furniture beyond standard vanity units and storage, which is priced to the specific design rather than folded into a baseline figure
• Asbestos removal, which if it turns up in an older property's airing cupboard or behind old tiling has to be handled by a licensed specialist before we can continue, not something we do ourselves
• Any work to a shared or communal system in a flat or converted property, which usually needs freeholder or management company sign-off before we touch it

1. First call and a straight conversation -- You call or message with roughly what you want and the size of the room. We ask about the age of the property, whether the bathroom's upstairs or down, and what's currently in there, because a Victorian terrace with old lead or cast iron pipework behaves very differently to a 1990s extension.
2. Site visit and measure-up -- Someone comes to the property, measures the room, checks where the soil stack runs, tests water pressure, and has a look at the electrics and any venting or extraction already in place. This is also when we spot the things that change a price, like a stud wall that isn't where it looks like it is, or a floor that isn't level.
3. Design, spec and written quote -- You get a proper layout, a specification of what's being supplied (suite, tiles, taps, shower), and a written price. Nothing starts until you've signed off on this, so there's no surprise invoice at the end for work you didn't agree to.
4. Strip-out and first fix -- The old suite, tiling and any flooring that's coming out gets stripped and cleared by our licensed carrier. First-fix plumbing and electrics go in next, which is the stage where hidden problems (rotten floor joists, old lead pipe, undersized cable) actually surface, and where we'll stop and talk to you before proceeding if something needs a decision.
5. Second fix, tiling, plastering and joinery -- The suite goes in, tiling and plastering follow, and joinery work like boxing and vanity units gets built and fitted. This is the stage that takes the longest and where the room visibly becomes a bathroom rather than a building site.
6. Final check, snagging and sign-off -- We walk the finished room with you, check silicone lines, grouting, that every extractor, light and tap works as it should, and fix anything that isn't right there and then. You get a formal sign-off document, and that's the point the five-year labour and installation guarantee and two-year product guarantee start counting.

Ask any bathroom fitter for a single number over the phone and you should be suspicious of the answer, because the honest truth is that price is driven by things that only show up once someone's stood in the room. Moving a toilet or shower six feet across the floor costs more than putting one back where the old one stood, because the soil pipe run changes. A suite from a budget range costs a fraction of a bespoke stone-resin bath and matching vanity unit. Full-height tiling on every wall costs more than tiling to half-height with painted walls above. An extractor fan that needs a new run of ducting through a loft costs more than one that vents straight through an existing outside wall. None of that is a trick, it's just how the job works, which is why every quote we give follows a site visit rather than a guess over the phone, and why the written quote you sign is the price you pay, not a starting point for extras to be added later.

Most of what goes wrong with a bathroom refit isn't bad workmanship, it's a coordination problem: the plumber finishes and leaves, the electrician turns up a week later and has to work around tiling that's already gone in, the tiler blames the plasterer, and nobody's actually in charge of the whole job. We built this business to remove that problem rather than manage around it. We keep a small, hand-picked group of tradespeople rather than a rotating list of whoever's cheapest that month, several of whom have worked with us since we opened twenty years ago, so the plumber who first-fixes your bathroom is used to working alongside the same electrician and the same tiler, not meeting them for the first time on your landing.

That continuity is also why we can put real, named standards behind the work rather than a vague promise of quality: plumbing to NVQ Level 2 and City & Guilds standard, joinery from City & Guilds trained tradespeople, electrical work from Part P approved installers, gas work only ever from Gas Safe registered engineers, and plastering from someone with forty years in the trade. You get a written contract before a single tile is lifted, and a formal sign-off when the job's done, not a handshake and an invoice. Every project carries a five-year guarantee on labour and installation and a two-year guarantee on the products we supply, and because we're a genuinely local, family-run business registered at 4 Ferrers Walk in Nottingham rather than a franchise reporting to a head office elsewhere, if something needs a callback after the job's finished, you're speaking to the people who actually did the work, not a national booking line trying to find someone free in your postcode.

Nottingham is where we're based and where most of our work happens, and the city's mixed housing stock is a big part of why a local fitter matters more than it might seem. A Victorian terrace in an area like Sherwood or Lenton often has an old, narrow stack pipe run and a bathroom that was squeezed into what used to be a box room, which changes how a new suite has to be laid out compared with a 1970s or 80s semi in somewhere like Wollaton or Bramcote, where the plumbing runs are more generous and there's usually more room to move fixtures around. Newer estates on the edge of the city tend to have standard modern layouts that are more straightforward to reconfigure, but older stock across the city needs someone who's dealt with that kind of pipework before, rather than working it out for the first time on your job.

Beyond Nottingham itself, we cover the wider county of Nottinghamshire, and take on work in Derby and Derbyshire, where you get a similar mix of older terraced housing near the city centre and newer estates further out. We also cover Doncaster, though because that's the furthest point of our patch, jobs out that way tend to get grouped with other visits in the same week rather than booked as a one-off, so say so when you first get in touch if Doncaster's where you're based, so we can give you a realistic date rather than an optimistic one.

If you're at the stage of comparing a few options before committing, the most useful next step is a straight conversation and a site visit, not another brochure. You'll be talking to the same local team who'll be in your house doing the work, working to a written contract and a guarantee that's actually backed by twenty years of doing this in Nottingham, not a call centre reading from a script. Bathroom refits get booked up a few weeks out once you're into spring and summer, so if you've got a date in mind, get the site visit booked in early rather than leaving it to the last minute.
