Home / Bathrooms
BathroomsBathrooms built dry, from the membrane out.
Most bathroom failures start behind the tile. We waterproof every wet wall and floor, flood-test the shower before tiling, and only then make it look good.

A main bathroom in five weeks
Shower glass is made to measure after the tile is finished and takes about ten working days. That is why weeks four and five overlap a little.
Demolition and rough-in
Down to studs and subfloor. Drains and supply lines moved, inspection booked.
Waterproofing
Membrane on every wet surface, then a 24-hour flood test of the shower floor.
Tile
Floor and walls set, grouted and sealed. Niche and bench built in.
Fixtures
Vanity, toilet, taps and lights in. Glass measured on finished tile.
Glass and walkthrough
Glass installed, final clean, deficiency list walked with you.
Where a bathroom budget goes
Keeps it lower
- Toilet and drains stay where they are
- A standard tub instead of a fully tiled shower
- Porcelain tile in common sizes
- A stock vanity with a quartz top
Pushes it higher
- A curbless shower, which means lowering the subfloor
- Heated floors and a second circuit to run them
- Large-format or natural stone tile
- Frameless glass, niches and a built-in bench
- Moving a toilet across the floor joists
