Bathroom Fitters In Grantham
If you are looking for reliable bathroom fitters in Grantham, I offer a complete service covering everything from a straightforward suite replacement through to a full wet room conversion. Every project starts with a free site visit so I can see the space, talk through what you want, and give you an honest, written quote before anything is booked in.
I work on bathrooms, ensuites, shower rooms and wet rooms across Grantham and the surrounding villages, and I am happy to take on projects of any size, whether that is a small cloakroom refresh or a complete gut and refit.
Bathroom Design
Good bathroom design starts with your existing layout rather than a blank sheet of paper, since keeping your bath, basin, toilet and shower close to their current plumbing and drainage keeps costs down and avoids unnecessary disruption. During a free site visit, I will look at your pipework, soil stack position and water pressure, then talk through what is realistic for your space and budget before any decisions are made.
If you do want to reposition fixtures, such as moving the toilet to a different wall or converting a bath into a walk in shower, I will explain what that involves, since moving drainage and soil pipes adds both time and cost compared to a like for like layout.
Any electrical work in the room, including lighting, an extractor fan or a shaver socket, has to comply with Part P of the Building Regulations, and I make sure every job meets that standard as a matter of course. Once we have agreed a layout, I will put together a clear, written quote covering every stage of the work.
Bathroom Installation
A bathroom installation happens in a set order, and getting that sequence right is what separates a job that lasts twenty years from one that starts causing problems within twelve months. Work generally follows two main stages.
First fix covers everything that ends up hidden behind the walls and under the floor, including new pipework, waste connections and any cabling for lighting, an extractor fan or underfloor heating.
Second fix happens once the walls are boarded and tiled, and covers fitting the actual bath, shower, basin, toilet, taps and accessories, followed by testing everything properly before I hand the room back to you.
Timescales depend on the scope of the job. A small ensuite or cloakroom with no layout changes typically takes three to five days, while a standard family bathroom with a full retile usually takes six to ten days. Larger projects, or those involving structural changes or a full wet room conversion, can take longer, and I will always give you a realistic timeframe as part of your quote rather than an optimistic one that slips once work begins.
Wet Rooms
A wet room is a fully waterproofed, level access bathroom where the shower drains directly through the floor rather than into a separate tray or enclosure. Because there is no step or lip to contain the water, the entire floor and the walls around the shower area need to be tanked, which means applying a waterproof membrane beneath the tiles and forming the floor with a gentle fall towards the drain. Getting this stage right is the single most important part of a wet room, since a poorly tanked room is the main cause of leaks and long term water damage.
Wet rooms suit a wide range of homes, from smaller bathrooms where removing the shower tray helps the room feel more open, to properties where a step free, level floor is genuinely needed.
Accessible Bathrooms & Walk In Showers
For anyone with reduced mobility, or families planning ahead for changing needs, I can fit walk in showers and accessible wet rooms designed around safety and ease of use. This typically includes a level access shower tray or fully tanked wet floor, slip resistant flooring, a thermostatic shower valve to prevent sudden changes in temperature, and grab rails positioned where they are genuinely useful rather than just bolted on as an afterthought. A fold down or fixed shower seat can also be added where helpful.
