Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our bathroom design and installation services.
How long does it take to convert a bath into a walk-in shower in Plymouth?
Every project is unique, but a full turnkey conversion usually takes between one to two weeks. This allows us time to remove the old suite, update the plumbing and drainage, complete any necessary plastering, and finish with precision tiling. We provide a clear timeline before we start work so you know exactly what to expect.
Will my water pressure be strong enough for a walk-in shower?
This is a common concern in some of the older period properties in Devon. During our initial survey, we check your existing plumbing system. If your pressure is low, we can include a high-quality pump or a direct unvented cylinder as part of your renovation to give you that powerful, luxury shower experience you are looking for.
Is a walk-in shower more expensive than a standard bathroom?
A bespoke walk-in shower or wet room involves more technical preparation than a standard bath replacement, such as specialised tanking (waterproofing) and floor gradients. While the initial investment might be higher, the longevity, ease of cleaning, and added property value often make it a more cost-effective choice in the long run. Most of our high-end renovations start from around £10k to £15k+ depending on the materials and scale.
Do I need planning permission for a bathroom renovation?
In most cases, no. However, if your home is a Listed Building or located in a specific conservation area in the South Hams or Plymouth, there may be restrictions on changes to internal plumbing or ventilation outlets. We can advise you on these requirements and make sure all work is done in compliance with local rules.
