    We discuss your refurbishment requirements, preferred style and budget. A site visit allows us to measure the bathroom and assess its existing layout, plumbing and condition.

    We prepare the proposed layout, drawings and 3D visualisation, typically within two days. You can review the design and request changes before approving the work.

  3. 03

    Quotation & Material Selection

    We provide a free quotation outlining the planned refurbishment work and costs. We also help you choose suitable tiles, sanitaryware, fittings and finishes.

  4. 04

    Removal & Preparation

    We remove the existing bathroom fittings and finishes included in the agreed scope. Walls, floors and plumbing connections are assessed and prepared for the new installation.

  5. 05

    Plumbing, Waterproofing & Installation

    We carry out the required plumbing and electrical work, waterproofing, tiling and installation of your new bathroom fixtures. Heating, ventilation and finishing work are completed as specified in the project plan.

    We check the completed fittings, plumbing connections and finishes, then clean the work area and hand over your refurbished bathroom. We also explain the applicable workmanship warranty and aftercare arrangements.

How Long Does Bathroom Refurbishment Take?

Most bathroom refurbishment projects in London take approximately 1–3 weeks, depending on the condition of the existing bathroom, the extent of the work and the materials selected. We assess your bathroom and discuss the expected schedule before refurbishment begins.

Partial Bathroom Refurbishment

Timescale confirmed after survey

Updating selected fixtures, replacing tiles or refreshing finishes while retaining most of the existing layout and plumbing connections.

Complete Bathroom Refurbishment

Typically 1–3 weeks

Removing existing fittings and completing the necessary plumbing, waterproofing, tiling, electrical work and installation of new sanitaryware.

Extensive Bathroom Refurbishment

Project-specific timescale

More complex projects involving layout alterations, relocated plumbing, substantial preparation work or additional installations such as underfloor heating.

What Can Affect Bathroom Refurbishment Timescales?

The time required depends on more than the bathroom's size. Existing installations, preparation work, design changes and material availability can all influence the schedule.

  • Condition of Existing Plumbing

    Older or damaged pipework may need repairing or replacing before new bathroom fixtures can be installed.

  • Changes to the Bathroom Layout

    Relocating a toilet, bath or shower can require additional plumbing, drainage and floor preparation.

  • Wall and Floor Preparation

    Uneven surfaces, damaged substrates or unsuitable existing finishes may require remedial work before tiling.

  • Waterproofing Requirements

    Wet rooms and shower areas require suitable waterproofing, including the necessary application and curing time.

  • Material Availability

    Delivery times for selected tiles, sanitaryware, shower enclosures and specialist fittings can affect the installation schedule.

  • Tiling and Finishing Complexity

    Detailed tile patterns, mosaics, natural stone and extensive tiled surfaces may require additional installation time.

  • Additional Electrical and Heating Work

    Installing new lighting, ventilation or underfloor heating adds work that must be coordinated with other installation stages.

  • Unexpected Issues During Removal

    Hidden water damage, deteriorated surfaces or unsuitable existing installations may become apparent after removing old fittings.

The 1–3 week timeframe is an approximate guide for most bathroom refurbishment projects, not a guaranteed completion period. Actual timescales depend on the agreed scope, site conditions, material availability and any additional work identified during refurbishment. A project-specific schedule is discussed after the initial survey.

At Vip Bathroom Solutions, we focus on careful planning, quality workmanship and clear communication throughout your bathroom refurbishment. From checking plumbing and waterproofing to protecting your property and reviewing the finished installation, we manage each stage with attention to detail.

Quality Checks

We check plumbing connections, waterproofing, installed fittings and finishing details at the relevant stages of refurbishment. Any issues identified during the final inspection are reviewed before handover.

Care for Your Property

We organise refurbishment work with consideration for your home and daily routine, planning access, material deliveries and installation stages to help minimise unnecessary disruption.

Finishing & Clean-Up

We pay attention to the final details, including tiling, sealant application and fitting installation. The work area is cleaned as part of the completion and handover process.

Aftercare & Support

We provide information about the applicable workmanship warranty and can discuss questions relating to your completed bathroom refurbishment. Any warranty enquiries are handled according to the agreed terms.

Workmanship warranties range from 1 to 3 years, depending on the specific project and agreed conditions. The applicable duration, coverage and any exclusions should be confirmed in the project documentation before refurbishment begins.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bathroom Refurbishment

Find answers to common questions about bathroom refurbishment in London, including costs, timescales, what the work involves and how we plan your project.

What does a bathroom refurbishment include?

Our bathroom refurbishment services cover everything from removing old fixtures and finishes to installing new sanitaryware, plumbing, electrics, waterproofing and tiling. Depending on your requirements, we can also update lighting, ventilation, heating and bathroom furniture.

The exact scope depends on the condition of your existing bathroom, your preferred layout and the level of refurbishment required.

How much does bathroom refurbishment cost in London?

The cost of bathroom refurbishment in London depends on the room size, condition of the existing plumbing, extent of the work and choice of fixtures and materials. Retaining the current layout may reduce the work required, while relocating sanitaryware, changing pipework or installing premium finishes can increase costs.

Vip Bathroom Solutions provides a free quotation based on your requirements and the work involved, so you can review the proposed costs before proceeding.

How long does a bathroom refurbishment take?

Most bathroom refurbishment projects typically take around 1–3 weeks, depending on their complexity. A straightforward update with minimal plumbing changes may take less time than a complete refurbishment involving new pipework, waterproofing, tiling and electrical installations.

The condition of the existing bathroom, material availability and any unexpected issues discovered during removal can also affect the schedule. We discuss the expected timescale during project planning.

What is the difference between bathroom refurbishment and bathroom renovation?

Bathroom refurbishment generally focuses on updating or replacing existing fixtures, surfaces and fittings to improve the appearance and functionality of a bathroom. Bathroom renovation can involve more extensive changes, such as altering the layout, moving plumbing connections or rebuilding parts of the room.

In practice, the terms often overlap. Our team can handle both cosmetic improvements and complete bathroom transformations, depending on your property’s requirements.

Can you refurbish a bathroom without changing its layout?

Yes. If your existing layout works well, we can replace the bath, shower, toilet, basin, tiles and other fittings while keeping the main plumbing positions unchanged.

This approach can reduce the amount of plumbing and building work required. However, we still assess the condition of existing installations to determine whether any repairs or upgrades are necessary.

Can you change the layout during a bathroom refurbishment?

Yes. We can plan changes to the position of your bath, shower, toilet or basin where the property’s plumbing, drainage and available space allow.

Moving fixtures may require alterations to water supplies, waste pipes, electrics and flooring. We assess these requirements during the initial survey and discuss the implications for your budget and project schedule before work begins.

Do you offer complete bathroom refurbishment services?

Yes. Vip Bathroom Solutions provides complete bathroom refurbishment services in London, covering removal, plumbing, electrical work, waterproofing, tiling, heating, ventilation and final installation.

We coordinate the different stages of the project, including material selection and deliveries, so you do not need to arrange separate contractors for each part of the refurbishment.

Can you refurbish a small bathroom?

Yes. We refurbish small bathrooms and help homeowners make better use of limited floor space. Depending on the room dimensions and existing services, options may include compact sanitaryware, carefully positioned storage and more practical shower arrangements.

We consider access, ventilation, door clearance and comfortable movement around the room when planning the layout.

Can you replace a bathtub with a walk-in shower?

Yes. Replacing a bath with a walk-in shower is one option during a bathroom refurbishment. We assess the available space, drainage arrangements, waterproofing requirements and suitable shower enclosure options.

Where appropriate, we can also design and install a wet room with a level-access shower area. The final arrangement depends on the property’s construction and drainage conditions.

Do you provide bathroom design and 3D visualisations?

Yes. We provide bathroom planning and 3D visualisations to help you understand the proposed layout and finishes before refurbishment begins.

Our project preparation process typically takes two days and can include drawings, a visualisation, a proposed scope of work and a quotation. This gives you an opportunity to review the design and request changes before approving the project.

Can you help choose bathroom tiles, fixtures and fittings?

Yes. We help clients select suitable tiles, sanitaryware, bathroom furniture, lighting and accessories based on their design preferences, available space and budget.

We can also coordinate material supplies and deliveries. When choosing products, we consider practical factors such as maintenance, moisture resistance, installation requirements and compatibility with the proposed layout.

Do you replace plumbing and electrical installations during refurbishment?

Yes. Our bathroom refurbishment work can include replacing or adapting plumbing connections, updating electrical installations, fitting lighting, installing extractor fans and adding underfloor heating.

The work required depends on the condition of existing services and your proposed bathroom design. We assess these details before finalising the scope of refurbishment.

Do you provide waterproofing as part of bathroom refurbishment?

Yes. Waterproofing is included where required as part of our bathroom refurbishment services, particularly around showers, wet rooms and other areas exposed to water.

The appropriate waterproofing method depends on the construction of the walls and floors, the selected shower arrangement and the finishing materials. Proper preparation is an important part of protecting the surrounding structure against water penetration.

Can I stay in my home during bathroom refurbishment?

In many cases, you can remain at home while your bathroom is being refurbished. However, the bathroom itself may be unavailable during demolition, plumbing work, waterproofing and installation.

If your property has only one bathroom, it is important to plan for periods without normal washing or toilet facilities. We discuss the work sequence and expected disruption before the project starts.

Do you offer a warranty on bathroom refurbishment work?

Yes. Vip Bathroom Solutions provides warranties on completed work, with stated periods ranging from 1 to 3 years depending on the applicable terms.

The specific warranty coverage and conditions should be confirmed for your project before work begins. Product manufacturers may provide separate warranties for individual fixtures and fittings.
