From the initial consultation to the finishing touches, we manage each stage of your cloakroom installation. Our process covers planning, material selection, plumbing, fitting and final checks, with the scope of work agreed before installation begins.
We discuss your requirements, visit the property and measure the available space. We also assess existing plumbing, drainage and ventilation to identify what your cloakroom installation will involve.
We plan a practical layout for your toilet, washbasin and other fittings. Project preparation can include drawings, 3D visualisation and a detailed quotation, with an initial plan prepared within two days.
We help you select sanitaryware, tiles, lighting and finishes to suit your space and budget. Once the design and costs are agreed, we organise materials and schedule the installation work.
We remove existing fittings where required and prepare the room for installation. Plumbing, drainage and electrical alterations are carried out according to the agreed layout and condition of the property.
We install the toilet, washbasin, wall and floor finishes, lighting and ventilation as specified. Particular attention is given to fitting everything neatly within the available space.
We check the completed installation, including plumbing connections, fitted sanitaryware and finishing details. The work area is cleaned, and we explain the applicable warranty and aftercare arrangements.
The time needed to install or refurbish a cloakroom depends on the existing plumbing, room condition, chosen fittings and extent of the work. A straightforward makeover usually involves fewer stages than creating a new downstairs toilet. We assess your property and agree a project-specific schedule before work begins.
Timescale confirmed after assessment
Updating an existing cloakroom with replacement sanitaryware, tiling or decorative finishes while retaining the current layout and plumbing connections.
Schedule based on the agreed scope
Removing old fittings and renovating the room, including plumbing alterations, electrical work, wall and floor preparation, tiling and installation of new sanitaryware.
Timescale determined by site conditions
Creating a new downstairs toilet or cloakroom where additional drainage, water supply connections, ventilation and room preparation may be required.
Even a small cloakroom can involve several trades and installation stages. The following factors help determine how much work is needed and whether additional time should be allowed.
Moving a toilet or basin, installing new pipework or adapting drainage connections can extend the installation.
Uneven surfaces, damaged walls or floors and unexpected issues discovered during removal may require additional preparation.
Repositioning sanitaryware or altering the room layout can involve extra plumbing, electrical and finishing work.
Delivery times for selected toilets, basins, tiles and specialist fittings can affect when installation stages can begin.
Complex tile patterns, mosaics, natural stone and necessary adhesive or grout curing periods can add time.
New lighting, extractor fans or changes to electrical connections may require additional installation and testing.
Vip Bathroom Solutions quotes approximately 1–3 weeks for most bathroom renovation projects, but this is not a fixed timescale for cloakroom installations. A smaller refurbishment may involve less work, while a new cloakroom requiring drainage alterations can be more complex.
We plan each cloakroom installation around the agreed layout, materials and scope of work. From fitting sanitaryware to completing the finishes, our approach focuses on careful workmanship, organised installation and clear communication throughout the project.
1–3 Years
Vip Bathroom Solutions provides a workmanship warranty on completed renovation and installation work. The stated warranty period ranges from one to three years, depending on the project and applicable conditions. We recommend confirming the specific coverage, duration and terms for your cloakroom installation before work begins.
We review the completed cloakroom installation, paying attention to sanitaryware fittings, plumbing connections and finishing details against the agreed scope of work.
We organise work with consideration for your home and daily routine, planning access, material deliveries and installation stages to help reduce disruption.
We review the final finishes and completed fittings before handover, allowing any outstanding details to be identified and discussed.
If you have a question about your completed cloakroom installation, you can contact our team to discuss the work and any concerns covered by the agreed warranty terms.
Warranty periods of 1–3 years are subject to the applicable project conditions. The exact duration, coverage and any exclusions should be confirmed with Vip Bathroom Solutions before installation begins.

Our cloakroom installation service in London covers the work needed to create or refurbish a compact toilet room. Depending on the existing space and your requirements, this can include removing old fittings, installing a toilet and washbasin, plumbing, electrical work, waterproofing where required, tiling, ventilation and finishing.
We discuss the scope of work before installation begins and provide a quotation based on the agreed requirements.
Yes. We provide cloakroom design and installation services for homeowners across London and the surrounding areas. We assess the proposed space, consider the position of the toilet and basin, and plan the plumbing, ventilation and finishing work.
Whether a new downstairs toilet is practical depends on the available space, drainage connections, water supply and property layout. A site survey helps us establish what is possible before preparing the design and quotation.
The cost of cloakroom installation depends on the size and condition of the room, the amount of plumbing and electrical work required, and your choice of sanitaryware, tiles and finishes.
Refurbishing an existing cloakroom with suitable plumbing connections will generally involve different work from creating a new toilet room where drainage or pipework needs to be installed.
Vip Bathroom Solutions offers a free estimate so you can understand the proposed work and expected costs before making a decision.
The installation timescale depends on whether you are updating an existing cloakroom or creating a new one, as well as the condition of the room and the complexity of the work.
A straightforward replacement of existing fittings may require less time than a project involving new drainage, electrical work, wall preparation and tiling. Vip Bathroom Solutions generally quotes 1–3 weeks for bathroom renovation projects, but a cloakroom-specific schedule is determined after assessing the work required.
Yes. Small cloakrooms require careful planning to make the available floor space practical without restricting access to the toilet or washbasin.
Depending on the dimensions and plumbing arrangements, we can help you consider compact sanitaryware, wall-hung or corner basins, suitable storage and finishes that work well in a confined room.
We assess the room before recommending a layout, as not every fitting is suitable for every space.
Yes. We can remove existing sanitaryware and install a replacement toilet and washbasin as part of a cloakroom makeover or refurbishment.
We check the existing water supply, waste connections and available space before confirming which fittings can be installed. If you also want new tiling, lighting or other finishes, these can be included in the agreed scope of work.
We can assess alternative cloakroom layouts, including repositioning the toilet or washbasin to improve access and make better use of the room.
The options depend on the location of the soil pipe, drainage falls, water connections and available floor and wall space. Moving sanitaryware can require additional plumbing and building work, which may affect the overall cost and installation time.

Yes. We can help you choose sanitaryware, wall and floor tiles, lighting, furniture and accessories that suit your cloakroom dimensions, preferred style and budget.
We work with materials including ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles, mosaics and natural stone. We can also help organise material supplies, reducing the need for you to coordinate individual suppliers.
Ventilation is an important consideration when designing a cloakroom, particularly where there is no suitable opening window. The appropriate solution depends on the room layout, existing ventilation arrangements and applicable building requirements.
Our installation services include fitting extractor fans where required. We assess the existing conditions before recommending ventilation work for your project.
Yes. If the existing cloakroom layout and plumbing are suitable, you may only need selected improvements rather than a complete refurbishment.
