Bathroom Installation & Pipework Alterations
Bathroom plumbing costs are driven by how far the waste and supply pipework has to move, not by the tiles. Keeping the toilet and soil connection in place is the single biggest saving on a bathroom refit.
A bathroom that leaks a year later almost always failed at the waste connections or the shower tray, not at the fittings people worried about when choosing them.
We handle the plumbing side properly — first fix, second fix and testing — whether you are managing the rest of the project yourself or working with a fitter.
What's included
- First fix supply and waste pipework for a new layout
- Baths, shower trays, wet room formers and enclosures
- Toilets, basins, vanity units and bidets
- Thermostatic showers, pumps and shower valves
- Towel rails and heating pipework alterations
- Second fix, commissioning and leak testing
Good reasons to get the plumbing quoted first
- You want to move the toilet or the shower position
- The property is a flat with restricted soil pipe access
- You are converting a bathroom into a wet room
- The existing pipework is old iron or lead
- You need the work programmed around a tiler and electrician

What it costs
Bathroom work is quoted per project after a survey. Hourly plumbing work on the project is charged at £95 per hour. Nobody can price a bathroom accurately from a phone call, and any figure quoted that way usually changes later.
