Bathroom Installation Services in London
When installing a new bathroom, more than just fitting new sanitaryware is required. Existing plumbing system, available space, water supplies, conditions of the room can all impact work required. Knowing these beforehand can help you determine what your project will entail.
OnTime Plumbers can provide you with a discussion of your bathroom’s plumbing and installation needs and can help you determine what needs to be done.
Bathroom Suite Replacement
Upgrading an old bathroom suite can refresh the bathroom without altering the overall design. The project could involve replacing a bath, washbasin, any similar plumbing connections to a toilet.
If any fixtures need to be left in place, then there will be less pipe work alteration needed. But existing connections and compatibility of the new fittings must be evaluated prior to work commencing.
Bath and Shower Installation
A bathroom renovation that involves changing out the bath or shower can make your bathroom more functional in your home. For instance, a homeowner might desire one that is simpler to operate each day or they might want to get rid of an outdated shower enclosure.
Your decision on the right solution will be based on the space available, drainage, water source and purpose. When replacing a bath with a walk-in shower, it is important to take into account the floor level, drainage and waterproofing needs, as well as the shower fittings.
Toilet and Basin Installation
A new toilet or basin can be a large bathroom replacement or just a minor bathroom replacement. Existing waste connection, water supply and available clearance must be taken into consideration before installation.
It may be necessary to make far more extensive drainage changes when a toilet is moved from its existing location than when it is replaced like for like. When considering the layout, it is important to discuss this early to avoid any surprises later when the layout is underway.
Bathroom Plumbing and Pipework
Bathroom plumbing involves the installation and maintenance of the plumbing that carries water into and out of the bathroom. Depending on the project, the installation can be a suitable adaptation of the existing connections, a replacement of the existing pipework or the repair of leaks detected during the assessment.
If the bathroom is an older bathroom, it may be worthwhile to inspect pipework and plumbing connections that can be accessed before the installation of new finishes. If the scope of work is to be changed as a result of any other repairs, these should be discussed prior to the scope of work change.
Wet Room and Bathroom Improvements
Wet room refurbishment is a service included in OnTime Plumbers’ extensive range of services. A wet room will need careful consideration of the drainage, floor gradients and waterproofing as water can get to a much larger proportion of the floor area than in a conventional bathroom.
Whether a wet room is suitable will depend on the construction of the property and the existing drainage, and what might be required to provide an appropriate waterproofed room. Discuss with us the plumbing needs and if any further specialist work is required to complete the project.
Please note: The actual bathroom installation package (design, fixtures, tiling, electrical, waterproofing and waste removal) will need to be verified prior to booking. It should not be assumed that all of these components are a permanent part of all installations.
Bathroom Problems We Can Help You Address
The reasons for bathroom remodeling might be appearance, usage or a plumbing issue. If you know the cause of the project, it may be possible to have a repair rather than a full install.
Worn out bathroom fixtures: If you have old or broken bathroom fixtures, they may not meet your needs. Some of the fittings or the entire outfit might need to be replaced.
Leaking connections: Water around a toilet, basin, bath or shower may mean a failed seal or connection or other plumbing problem. New finishes should be installed after identifying the source.
Poor drainage: Slow drainage or periodic blockages may need to be investigated before installing a new bath, shower or basin. Just changing the fixture won’t always solve a drainage issue.
A layout that is not practical: A bathroom might not have sufficient usable space, or fixtures may not be placed in a convenient location. Plumbing connections, drainage and safe access should be taken into consideration when planning layout changes.
New shower requirement: If a bath is replaced by a shower, the requirements for plumbing and waterproofing the room may change.
Issues that are identified during the renovation: When old fixtures are removed, pipework that has been damaged, connections that are not appropriate, or hidden water damage can reveal themselves. If any additional work is to be done, then it must be explained and costed before work is continued.
Before doing cosmetic work, fix the leak if it is still leaking. Adding new fittings to an un-resolved plumbing issue can cause further disruption and costs.
Our Bathroom Installation Process
Each bathroom project is unique and the work can be negotiated in relation to the existing bathroom, fittings you like and the practicality of the property.
1. Contact OnTime Plumbers
Call 08000 584799 or use our online contact form. Propose whether a whole house bathroom fitout or bathroom replacement fixtures, bathroom shower fit out and plumbing changes are required. Please tell us more about the work and give your London postcode so we can help you better understand your enquiry.
2. Assessment of Your Requirements
The first step after determining the work required is to determine the work needed to begin the work. This can include talking about the current bathroom, the design of the new bathroom, plumbing, drainage and any plumbing leaks or other issues. The scope and cost may need to be confirmed prior to conducting the site assessment.
3. A Clear Quotation
The quotation should outline the work that has been agreed, the labour and materials involved and any exclusions or additional work that might impact total costs. Check if the fixtures are being supplied or if they need to be included, and inquire about how any issues that arise will be addressed.
4. Installation and Plumbing Work
After agreements are reached in scope, price and arrangements the installation can be programmed. This is dependent on the project but can involve the removal of existing fixtures, preparation of connections, install agreed fixtures and making the required plumbing changes.
If there is any work that is done other than what is agreed to in the initial contract, it should be discussed beforehand.
5. Completion and Aftercare
Upon completion inspect installed fixtures and ensure agreed work is completed. When relevant, request any relevant product documentation, instructions, and details about any warranty or aftercare for workmanship.
OnTime Plumbers will confirm the specific checks, documents handed over and warranty terms for your project prior to work.
How Much Does Bathroom Installation Cost in London?
The price of bathroom installation in London is determined by the kind of job you have, the fixtures you choose and the state of the plumbing. A simple replacement with existing connections is not the same as a complete renovation including changes to layout, new pipework, tiling and extra building work.
OnTime Plumbers does not have a verified fixed price for its complete bathroom installation service in information provided for this page. For this reason, we suggest you to get a quote based on your real requirements instead of a quote not verified.
The main factors affecting the price include:
The size and design of the bathroom: The size and design of the bathroom can affect the time and effort required.
Fixtures and materials: These include baths, showers, toilets, basins, taps and other chosen products which will vary in specification and cost.
Re-used (existing) plumbing: If possible, re-use connections that are suitable, may be less work than relocating water supplies or drainage.
Removal and preparation: Taking out old fixtures and preparing the area may increase labour and disposal needs.
Tiling and finishing: Wall and floor finishes, repairs and decorating might occur after plumbing installation.
Waterproofing and drainage: Specialist work and preparation will be required for wet rooms and some shower installations.
Electrical or building work: Working on such elements as lighting, ventilation, changes to the structure and other electrical or building trades can change the overall cost of the project.
When considering a quotation, ensure it includes labour, material, old suite removal, disposal, finishing work and any specialist contractors. Inquire about the process and fees of approving and charging for variations.
It is easier to compare quotations on a like-for-like basis if there is a clear breakdown. The most economical initial rate could be the lowest total cost if the work has not been included.

Frequently Asked Questions

The price depends on the bathroom’s size, the fittings selected, the condition of existing plumbing and whether you need additional work such as tiling, waterproofing or layout changes. Contact OnTime Plumbers for a quotation based on your project.
2. How long does a bathroom installation take?
The timescale depends on the work involved, the availability of materials and whether additional plumbing or building work is required. A like-for-like fixture replacement generally involves a different scope from a complete renovation. Confirm the expected schedule before work begins.
