Expert Bathroom Installation Services in Southampton
Complete bathroom refurbishments
We provide comprehensive bathroom refurbishment services, taking your space from outdated or worn to fresh and modern. This includes removing all existing fixtures, fittings, and surfaces, then installing brand-new baths, toilets, basins, taps, tiles, and accessories. Our team manages every step to deliver a fully transformed bathroom tailored to your style and needs.
Like-for-like sanitaryware swaps for quick updates
For homeowners seeking a simple refresh without the disruption of a full renovation, we offer like-for-like sanitaryware replacements. We carefully remove your existing baths, toilets, or basins and install new ones of the same size and style. This quick solution updates your bathroom’s look while avoiding costly plumbing alterations or layout changes.
Shower installation and upgrades, including wet rooms
Whether you want to add a new shower or upgrade an existing one, we cover all types of shower installations. This includes fitting traditional shower enclosures, installing modern digital showers, or creating spacious, walk-in wet rooms. We focus on both style and accessibility, ensuring your shower area is practical, safe, and waterproof.
Professional tiling coordination to create seamless, water-resistant finishes
Tiling plays a crucial role in both the appearance and waterproofing of your bathroom. We coordinate all tiling work to achieve perfectly aligned, grout-sealed tiles that protect walls and floors from moisture. Our experienced tilers work with a variety of tile styles and sizes to match your design preferences and ensure durable, easy-to-clean surfaces.
Plumbing alterations and waste pipe relocations to maximise space and improve function
To optimise your bathroom layout and functionality, we carry out plumbing modifications such as moving waste pipes, repositioning taps, or upgrading pipework. These changes can free up space, improve water flow, and allow for new fixture placements. We ensure all plumbing work complies with regulations and integrates seamlessly with your existing system.
Fitting of baths, toilets, basins, taps and associated hardware
We expertly install all main bathroom fixtures, including baths, toilets, basins, taps, and accessories like towel rails and mirrors. Our fitting process guarantees secure connections, proper sealing, and perfect alignment to ensure everything works smoothly and looks professionally finished.
Final touches such as sealants, trims and ensuring all fittings are perfectly aligned
To complete your bathroom installation, we apply high-quality sealants around baths, showers, and sinks to prevent leaks. We fit trims and mouldings to hide joints and create a polished look. Our team carefully checks that all fixtures are level, aligned, and functioning correctly, leaving your bathroom spotless and ready for use.
While we handle all plumbing-related work in-house, electrical installations such as lighting or heated towel rails are managed by trusted local electricians we coordinate with closely. This ensures your whole bathroom project runs smoothly from start to finish with clear communication and reliable scheduling.
Understanding Southampton Homes: Local Challenges We Solve
Southampton’s housing styles present particular challenges for bathroom installers. Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Portswood and Highfield often feature compact bathrooms with older pipework that requires careful upgrading to meet modern standards. Similarly, 1930s semis in Bitterne and Woolston sometimes have awkward layouts with limited space for new fixtures.
In newer developments around Ocean Village and West Quay, flats typically have contemporary designs but can face ventilation issues due to the coastal climate. We ensure all bathrooms meet current building regulations for ventilation and waterproofing to prevent damp and mould in these humid environments.
Our local experience means we come prepared, bringing the right tools and materials to tackle Southampton’s diverse properties efficiently and with minimal disruption.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bathroom Installation in Southampton
Is parking available for installers near Portswood and Bitterne?
Yes, we are familiar with Southampton’s parking restrictions and usually arrange parking either on-street with permits or nearby public car parks. For tight streets in older residential areas, we plan deliveries to minimise disruption.
How long will the bathroom installation take?
Project duration varies depending on the scope, but typical full refits take between 7-14 days. We provide a clear schedule upfront and update you regularly throughout the work.
Will water be shut off during installation?
Water shut-offs are usually necessary during plumbing work phases. We coordinate with you to schedule these at convenient times and keep interruptions as brief as possible.
What if my home only has one bathroom?
We understand the inconvenience of losing bathroom access during installation. We plan works in stages to enable use of existing facilities where possible and complete high-impact phases quickly.
