If you’re thinking of carrying out a complete bathroom refurbishment but are unsure where to start, please read on to find out about our bathroom fit-out process…

The Early Stages:

Some people don’t want the stress and strain of being involved with a bathroom installation and would prefer to leave the entire process in the hands of the professionals, while some people like to source their own furniture and tiles and simply employ the services of an installer.

5. Choosing your bathroom furniture, sanitary ware, tiles, flooring and accessories. Now is the point you’ll look at features such as underfloor heating and decide whether you want it before the job proceeds. We’ll provide you with a quote/job estimate, which includes labour cost and the price for sanitary ware etc. If you’re happy, then we will go ahead and order your chosen goods once a deposit has been paid. This is the point we can get on with:

6. Your Bathroom Installation!
Once we’ve finalised your designs, the sanitary ware, the towel rails and the mirror, it’s all systems go! Here is what you can expect if you choose Bespoke Bathrooms for your bathroom installation. We start by:
