Well. This is a complete transformation. My customers wanted to add a shower to their bathroom, moving the bath and vanity unit, without having a full refurbishment. Challenge accepted.
The tiled floor came up. Pipes re located to allow the bath to be moved under the window.
Black towel rail added with square valves to match the square brasswear.
Over shower fed from bath taps, which saved having to disturb the wall tiles.

Victoria, Flint Grey gluedown LVT added.

Wall hung basin vanity unit and keyhole bath to give more room when showering. Matching black, handleless shower screen.

Infinita furniture from Tippers, Rugeley.

Brasswear supplied by the customer.

Flooring from GEM in Rugeley.

Next up for this beautiful, turn of the 1900s terraced house in Smethwick. The separate toilet, sited along the landing.
The customer wanted a wash hand basin added, and found a small, wall hung one. However, she didn't want the pipework to be visible, and, there was no hot water.
I took a hot feed from the main bathroom, running it across the landing. The pipework couldn't be hidden, so, it was all done in copper. Even the waste, with brass clips.
Metro tiles hiding a fully accessible concealed cistern, in keeping with the 1900s look.

This was a hard slog, as there was quite a bit of repair work, whilst trying not to disturb the existing tiles. I think you'll agree that it looks great.

Please get in touch with any enquiries.

Emergency call out. My customers carers had reported a leak from the toilet.
The fill valve had completely failed, constantly filling. It was also leakimg from the underside of the cistern.
There wasn't room to fit my usual Viva valve, so I fitted another top valve.
This Thomas Dudley valve is adaptable to fit a variety of cistern sizes. Panic over.
I usually carry spare parts to get you up and running on the spot.

Did you know, I'm also insured for commercial work?. Well, now you do.
This little kitchenette was added to help our friends at Stylus Records make their coffee's.
Gloss white cabinet and square edge worktop and tap from Howdens, in Rugeley.
I managed to source a small sink, due to limited space, from B&Q !!!.
I love my records. Due to their growing success, Stylus have now moved to 36 Bore Street, Lichfield. Go and give the new shop a visit.
Please, feel free to get in touch for any domestic or commercial plumbing I may be able to help you with.

No one wants to hear water. Especially at 2am.
This flexi had given up the ghost. The previous 'plumber' had left it in a poor condition when changing the taps on this wash hand basin.
I've attended today, and solid piped the taps. New isolation valves, also fitted, for peace of mind.
It's important to keep an eye on parts, such as flexi hoses, as they can degrade over time.

There are enough drips in this world. Let's get rid of another.

Another transformation.
My customer wanted to update his old family home bathroom. Ceiling down due to sagging. Re boarded and plastered. New extraction and spotlights with new electric heater.
Porcelain tiles. LVT herringbone flooring from Gems in Rugeley. Fluted grey fitted furniture from Tippers, also in Rugeley.
With the only option being an electric shower, this Mira Sport, with airboost can really make a difference. Electrics were updated to allow for a 10.5kw shower.
I am inundated at present. Please, bear with me. Your patience is very much appreciated, and your custom valued. If you'd like to get on the new bathroom list, please feel free to drop me a message. 07887 688 376. Thank you.
