Bathroom Installation in Crawley — Full Refits, Done Properly

A bathroom refit means plumbing, tiling, waste runs and finishing all landing in one small room at once — get the sequencing wrong and you're without a bathroom for weeks longer than you need to be. We plan the whole job before a single tile comes off the wall, manage every part of it, and keep it moving so the mess and the disruption are kept to a minimum. Full refits, en-suites and accessible bathrooms across Crawley and the wider Sussex, Surrey, South London and Kent area. Fully insured, tidy on site, honest pricing.

What we cover on a bathroom installation

A bathroom is one of the few rooms where every trade has to work in sequence — plumbing, waste, tiling, electrics and finishing all in a space the size of a box room. We've refitted bathrooms across Crawley, Horsham and the wider Sussex area for growing families, downsizing couples and everything in between, and we manage the whole job rather than just turning up for the pipework and leaving you to find someone for the rest.

Full bathroom refits

A full refit means stripping the room back — old suite out, old tiling off, sometimes down to the floorboards — then rebuilding it properly: first-fix plumbing and waste positioned exactly where the new suite needs it, then tiling, then the second fix of taps, shower and toilet. We sequence the trades so nothing sits idle and nothing gets tiled over before it's been tested. Whether it's a straight swap of an old suite for a new one or a full room reconfiguration with the bath swapped for a shower, the process is the same: plan it properly, then execute it without surprises.

En-suite installations

En-suites are their own challenge — you're usually fitting a full bathroom's worth of plumbing into a fraction of the space, often off an existing bedroom pipe run with limited access. We plan the layout around the practical constraints — waste falls, pipe runs, door swing — before any work starts, so you get a room that actually works rather than one that looked fine on paper. A common request at the moment is a compact shower room carved out of a corner of the main bedroom, and we'll tell you honestly if the space and the drainage will support what you want before you commit.

Family bathroom upgrades

Most of the bathroom work we do in Crawley and Horsham is a family bathroom that's simply had its day — a suite from the previous owners, tired sealant, a shower that's never had the pressure it should. We'll replace what needs replacing, fix what's actually wrong rather than what looks wrong, and we're honest if a full refit isn't necessary and a partial upgrade — new suite, re-tile the wet wall, new shower — will do the job for less disruption and less cost.

Accessible bathrooms and wet rooms

For a walk-in shower, a grab rail fitted properly into a stud wall rather than just a plasterboard fixing, or a full level-access wet room, we plan the falls and waterproofing (tanking) properly so it drains where it should and doesn't leak into the room below. This work has to be right first time — a wet room that doesn't fall correctly to the drain is a much bigger job to put right later than it is to get right at first fix.

Shower installations and repairs

New shower installs — mixer, electric or thermostatic — and fixing existing ones that have gone from a decent flow to a trickle are among the most common calls we get. Low pressure is usually a valve, a scaled shower head or a supply issue rather than the whole unit needing replacing, so we diagnose it properly before recommending a swap rather than assuming the worst straight away.

How a bathroom installation works

Three steps. No surprises.

1

Plan it before we touch anything

We measure the room, agree the spec — suite, tiles, shower type, any structural changes — and agree a realistic timeline before a single tool comes out. You get a clear price for the job before it starts, so there's no guessing at what the final invoice will say.

2

Strip out and first fix

The old suite and tiling come out, then the first-fix plumbing and waste go in exactly where the new layout needs them. This is the stage that determines whether the room works properly for the next fifteen years, so it isn't rushed.

3

Tile, fit and finish

Tiling, then the second fix — taps, shower, toilet, basin — followed by sealing, testing every joint under pressure, and a proper clean-down before we hand the room back. You get an itemised VAT invoice and can pay by card with Stripe Tap to Pay, by bank transfer, or cash.

Smaller jobs are covered under shower and tap repairs.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a bathroom installation take in Crawley?

A straight swap — new suite in the same layout as the old one — is usually 4 to 6 days from strip-out to finished tiling and second fix. A full refit with a layout change, a new wet room, or a lot of tiling can run to two weeks or more. We'll give you a realistic timeline once we've seen the room and agreed the spec, not a guess to win the job.

Do you ask for a deposit?

For materials-heavy jobs, yes — a deposit to order the suite, tiles and fittings before work starts, with the balance due on completion. Everything is agreed in writing before any money changes hands or any work begins, so you know exactly what you're paying and when.

Can I supply my own suite and tiles, or do you provide everything?

Either. We're happy to supply the suite, tiles, taps and shower — or fit a suite you've bought yourself. If you're supplying, we'll tell you honestly if something you've picked won't work with the room — a shower tray that doesn't fit the falls, a tap that needs a different valve — before it's delivered, not after it's sat in the hallway for a week.

How much does a bathroom installation cost?

Every bathroom is different — room size, layout changes, tiling extent and fittings all move the number, so a single headline figure would be misleading. What you get is a clear price agreed before any work starts, based on the actual spec, then you pay for the time on the job plus materials, with a VAT receipt for the whole job.
