Fitted bathrooms, designed, supplied and installed

A fitted bathroom is one where the basin, WC and storage are built into a continuous run of furniture, with the cistern and pipework hidden behind panels and a worktop running across the top. It looks built-in rather than assembled from separate pieces, and it gives you far more storage in the same space.

Most bathrooms are put together from loose parts: a pedestal basin, a close-coupled toilet, a cabinet on the wall. A fitted bathroom works the other way round. We start from the walls, plan a run of furniture that fills the space properly, and build the basin, WC and storage into it. The pipework and cistern disappear behind panels, cleaning gets easier, and the room looks finished.

We handle the whole job under one contract: the measured survey, the layout, the products, the strip-out, plumbing, electrics, tiling and fitting. You get an itemised written quote first, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed, so you know what you are paying before anything is ordered.

What does a fitted bathroom with us include?

  • A free home survey with measurements, photos and a check of your water pressure, drainage and ventilation

  • Strip-out of the old bathroom and removal of the waste
  • First and second-fix plumbing, including concealed cistern frames and new isolation valves
  • Electrical work by a qualified electrician: lighting, extractor fan, shaver socket or heating, tested and certified
  • Boarding, tanking in the wet areas, wall and floor tiling
  • Fitting of the furniture, worktop, sanitaryware and glass, then silicone, testing and a clean handover

What do you need to decide?

Furniture finish

Matt or gloss lacquer, wood-effect, painted shaker or handleless. Darker finishes hide marks; lighter ones make a small room feel bigger.

Worktop

Laminate is the budget choice, quartz-effect and solid surface resist water and stains, and a moulded basin-and-top in one piece has no joints to clean.

Bath, shower or both

Keep a bath for children or soaking, swap it for a walk-in shower if no one uses it, or plan both if the room is big enough.

Wall-hung or floor-standing

Wall-hung units show more floor and look lighter; floor-standing units give more storage and suit uneven walls.

Tiling height

Tiling just the wet areas keeps the cost down. Full-height tiling looks better and is easier to wipe clean.

Heating

A heated towel rail is standard. Electric underfloor heating under the tiles makes the room comfortable and dries the floor quickly.

How does the job run?

  1. Survey

    We measure the room, check pipe routes, the soil stack, water pressure and the existing electrics, and talk through how you use the room.

  2. Layout and quote

    You get layout options and an itemised written quote. We adjust the products and finishes until it fits your budget.

  3. Order and schedule

    Once you approve the price in writing we order everything and give you a start date and a day-by-day plan.

  4. Strip-out and first fix

    The old bathroom comes out, pipework and cables go in, walls are boarded and the wet areas are tanked.

  5. Tiling, fitting and handover

    Tiles, furniture, sanitaryware and glass go in. We test everything, clean up and show you how it all works.

Who is it right for?

  • Bathrooms with awkward boxing-in, pipes or a soil stack you want hidden
  • Families who need storage for towels, toiletries and cleaning products out of sight
  • Small and medium rooms where every centimetre of wall needs to work
  • Anyone who wants an easy-clean room with fewer gaps and edges

What should you watch out for?

  • Check the quote names the furniture range, worktop and brassware, not just "suite and fitting"
  • Ask how the concealed cistern is accessed for future repairs: there should be a removable panel or a flush-plate opening
  • Plan the furniture around the soil stack and window first; moving a WC on the stack costs more than moving a basin
  • Allow for the room being out of use for most of the fit, and plan another toilet if this is your only one

What rules apply to a fitted bathroom?

Like-for-like bathroom refits do not need planning permission. Electrical work in a room with a bath or shower must meet BS 7671, with RCD protection on every circuit and IP-rated fittings in the zones around the bath and shower. New toilets, taps and showers must meet the water fittings rules where you live, which limit flush volumes and stop dirty water flowing back into the mains.

England

In England, new circuits and most electrical changes in a bathroom are notifiable under Part P, so they must be done by an electrician registered with a competent person scheme or notified to building control. If you are adding a new extractor fan, Approved Document F gives 15 litres per second as the usual intermittent extract rate.

Wales

Wales has its own version of Part P, and more bathroom electrical work is notifiable there than in England. Use a registered electrician who will notify the work and give you a certificate.

Scotland

In Scotland, building standards apply instead of Part P. A straight refit rarely needs a building warrant, but forming a new bathroom, altering drainage or structural work may. Electrical work should still be tested and certified to BS 7671.

Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland, building control covers new drainage, ventilation and structural changes. There is no Part P, but electrical work should be designed, tested and certified to BS 7671.

FAQ

Fitted bathrooms: your questions answered

How much does a fitted bathroom cost?

Most fitted bathrooms cost between £6,500 and £12,000 including VAT, supplied and installed. A simple refit with a short furniture run can be closer to £4,500; a large room with a new layout, full-height porcelain and underfloor heating can go past £15,000. Your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

What is the difference between a fitted bathroom and a normal bathroom?

In a fitted bathroom the basin, WC and storage are built into one continuous run of furniture, with the cistern and pipes hidden behind panels and a worktop across the top. A standard bathroom uses separate pieces, such as a pedestal basin and close-coupled toilet, which leave gaps and visible pipework.

How long does it take to fit a bathroom?

A typical fitted bathroom takes six to ten working days from strip-out to handover. Smaller rooms with the same layout can be quicker; new layouts, plastering or underfloor heating add a few days. We give you a day-by-day plan before we start.

Can I keep my bathroom layout to save money?

Yes. Keeping the WC on the same soil stack position and the bath or shower where it is now usually saves several hundred pounds in plumbing. A fitted furniture run can still change the look of the room completely without moving the main fittings.

Can I supply my own bathroom suite?

Yes. We can fit a suite you have already bought, and quote for the fitting only. We will check the product list at the survey, because missing parts, the wrong waste or an incompatible cistern are the usual causes of delays on fit-only jobs.

Is fitted bathroom furniture waterproof?

Good fitted furniture uses moisture-resistant boards, sealed edges and a worktop sealed to the wall. It is designed for a bathroom, but standing water should still be wiped up. Ask for the carcass material and edge banding on the quote.

How do you get to the cistern behind fitted furniture?

Concealed cisterns are reached through the flush plate opening or a removable panel in the WC unit. We fit an isolation valve so the cistern can be serviced without draining the system.

Do I need to be at home while the bathroom is fitted?

No, as long as we can get in each day and you are around at the start and at handover. You can give us a key or let us in each morning. We will need your water and power turned off at times, and we will tell you when.
