Which towns do we cover in Kent?

Most of Kent has very hard water. We plan easy-clean glass, rimless toilets and finishes that do not show limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier. If your Maidstone bathroom has pipes boxed in at odd angles, a fitted run is often the neatest way to hide them for good.

What the job includes

Supply of the suite, fitted furniture, worktop, brassware, tiles and accessories
First and second-fix plumbing, including concealed cistern frames and new isolation valves
Boarding, tanking in the wet areas, wall and floor tiling
A free home survey with measurements, photos and a check of your water pressure, drainage and ventilation
Electrical work by a qualified electrician: lighting, extractor fan, shaver socket or heating, tested and certified
Fitting of the furniture, worktop, sanitaryware and glass, then silicone, testing and a clean handover

Decisions to make first

Heating

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

Tiling height

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

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.

Furniture finish

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

Rules that apply in England

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.

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.

Fitted bathrooms in Kent: questions

How much does a fitted bathroom cost in Kent?

A fitted bathroom in Kent typically costs £7,300–£13,500 including VAT, based on South East England prices. The free survey and itemised written quote give you the exact figure for your home.

Which towns in Kent do you cover?

We cover the whole of Kent, including Maidstone, Gillingham, Chatham, Tunbridge Wells, Folkestone, Margate, Ashford and Canterbury. If your town is not listed, we still cover it — get in touch with your postcode.

How long does a fitted bathroom take?

Most jobs take 6–10 working days on site once the products have arrived. We confirm a start date and a day-by-day plan when you approve the quote.

Is the water hard in Kent?

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.
