FULL BATHROOM TRANSFORMATION 🔥
This one turned into a proper job from the off…
Started as a standard rip out and ended up finding multiple bathrooms built on top of each other 😅
Everything had to come right back to brick and joists so it could be done properly.
Floor was miles out as well — around 40mm out of level across the room. No chance of working off that, so it all got corrected and brought back true before anything else even started.
Joists were sistered and strengthened, new chipboard down throughout, and the whole room battened out and set plumb using lasers so everything lines through properly.
Ceiling was rebuilt as well before boarding.

All the plumbing was completely redone — new 3 storey soil stack outside, fresh waste runs for every appliance, and a full hot and cold re-plumb. Everything routed properly and kept as clean as possible.
Also fitted new spotlights and a 6” extractor fan so the room actually performs as it should, not just looks good.
⸻
Prep on this one was key.
Jackoboard used in all wet areas, fully waterproofed, and the floor prepped properly with primer and a decoupling membrane before tiling.
It’s the sort of stuff you don’t see at the end, but it’s what makes it last.
⸻
Finished it off with a clean 3 tile setup, dado rail running through with mitred returns, and wrapped the window in mitres as well which came out tidy 👌
Niche set out to line through with the tiles, all installed with a levelling system to keep everything flat.
Walk in shower tray, freestanding bath, 800 unit, high level WC, and a custom window sill with a built in cupboard underneath to make use of the space.
⸻
Also carried everything through outside with the new stack tied into the drainage properly so the whole system works as it should.
⸻
End of the day, this is why prep matters.
Most would’ve tiled straight over what was there…
We took it right back, sorted it properly, and built it back up the way it should be done.
