BATHROOM GUIDE
Guidance to help with planning, costs and finding the right Bathroom Fitter for the job.
GETTING A QUOTE
Tiles, the suite, and fittings are often a smaller share of the total cost than labour, particularly for a full refit involving tanking and tiling. A cheap quote is worth checking against the same fixture brands and tile spec as competing quotes, not just a lower labour rate.
GETTING A QUOTE
A proper quote should specify the suite brand/model (not just "a toilet, a basin"), whether tiling and waterproofing are included, whether electrical and plumbing work is covered directly or subcontracted, and what happens if hidden pipework issues are found once the old suite is removed.
SAFETY & COMPLIANCE
First, ask to see photos of similar completed jobs, ideally local ones. Second, clarify exactly who does the electrical and plumbing work — the fitter directly, or a subcontracted registered tradesperson. Third, get a written quote that separates labour, fixtures and tiling.
GOOD TO KNOW
"First fix" is pipework and electrical cabling before tiling; "second fix" is fitting the suite, taps and electrics once tiling is done. Getting this sequence right matters — pipework needs to be pressure-tested and electrics first-fixed before the room is tiled over.
GOOD TO KNOW
Bathroom fitters handle everything from a single fixture swap to a full refit: removing and replacing suites, tiling, waterproofing (tanking) around showers, and coordinating the plumbing and electrical work a refit needs. Many fitters manage the whole job themselves and bring in a plumber or electrician for specific parts.
GOOD TO KNOW
A fixture swap (like-for-like toilet or basin) is usually a day or two. A full bathroom refit including tiling and waterproofing commonly takes 1-2 weeks, and it's often the only bathroom in the property out of use for that period — worth planning around if you only have one.
USEFUL TO KNOW
Cost depends on whether pipework and electrics need moving (not just swapping fixtures in place), the tiling area, fixture quality, and whether structural changes are needed (like removing a bath for a walk-in shower). Moving a toilet's position, in particular, is one of the more expensive changes because of the soil pipe work involved.
GOOD TO KNOW
Porcelain tiles are durable and low-maintenance, suited to floors and high-use areas. Ceramic is cheaper and easier to cut, often used on walls. Large-format tiles look sleek with fewer grout lines but need a flatter substrate to fit well — worth discussing with your fitter before ordering.
AREA GUIDE
Hall's Green is a town in Kent, in the south‑east region, administered by Kent local authority and using postcode district TN14. The TN14 postcode situates Hall's Green within the Tonbridge postal area and connects it to regional suppliers and services administered by county and district authorities. For trades, a town of this tier typically offers steady local demand for building, roofing and plumbing work; contractors should verify access for vans and any local planning or conservation constraints before starting projects. The setting suggests both modern and older residential properties may be present, so experience with a range of repair and improvement tasks is useful.
Hall’s Green properties often need bathroom refits that combine modern standards with sensitivity to older construction, requiring waterproof tanking, ventilation upgrades and sometimes subfloor strengthening. Practical jobs include full bathroom refits, wet rooms with level-access showers, tiling and the installation of extractor fans to meet Part F ventilation rules. Electrical work in bathrooms must comply with Part P, so fitters should either be Part P competent themselves or coordinate with a registered electrician.
Older houses frequently need pipework rerouting through thick walls or underfloor strengthening before tiles are laid, and space-constrained rooms benefit from bespoke layouts. Homeowners in Hall’s Green should ask fitters for waterproofing warranties, confirmation of Part P arrangements for electrical work, and a survey to identify any subfloor or plumbing complications. Also request a clear programme that accounts for any additional structural work identified during the strip-out.
