Recent work
Real Essex jobs, real results
Luxury Bathroom Renovation in Billericay
The room was extremely compact and had previously been set up as an accessible shower room, with dated finishes, surface-mounted fittings, limited storage and poor lighting. Careful planning was needed to maximise the available space while still creating a luxury bathroom feel.
DIY Bathroom Renovation — Bath, Exposed Thermostatic Shower Valve & First Fix, Basildon
The customer was tackling their own bathroom renovation but wanted the specialist bath plumbing handled professionally before the room was plastered and tiled. The new bath had to be set perfectly level in position, an exposed thermostatic bar shower valve had to be first-fixed into the wall with hot and cold supplies chased neatly into the brickwork, and every measurement had to be planned so the valve, bath taps and finished tiled walls all lined up correctly. The customer also wanted a tiled bath panel rather than a standard plastic panel, which meant building a solid, fully waterproof substrate ready to be tiled directly.
Cloakroom Modernisation — Concealed Cistern WC & Vanity Unit, Chelmsford
The customer wanted to modernise their downstairs cloakroom by replacing a dated back-to-wall toilet and small wall-mounted basin with a contemporary vanity unit and a new concealed cistern WC. Although on paper it looked like a straightforward swap, the existing pipework boxing didn’t match the footprint of the new furniture, so the new units couldn’t simply be dropped into place. The cistern feed, waste connection and basin services all needed to line up precisely with the new vanity and WC unit while keeping the plumbing accessible for any future maintenance.
Victorian Roll Top Bath Installation — Brentwood, Essex
A Brentwood customer had always wanted an original Victorian steel roll top bath and wanted the finished room to feel properly bespoke rather than forced into a standard layout. After discussing several installation options, we agreed the bath should sit slightly away from the corner to suit both the room proportions and the customer’s style. That decision created extra plumbing work: the toilet needed relocating to create the right clearance, a new core hole had to be drilled for the revised pipework, and new hot and cold copper feeds had to be first-fixed through the floor for freestanding bath taps. Because the bath was an original steel model, it was also extremely heavy and needed to be manoeuvred into position carefully without damaging the floor or the bath itself. On top of that, the existing tap holes were larger than modern standard fittings, so a straightforward off-the-shelf installation was not possible.
