Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our bathroom design and installation services.
How long does a full traditional bathroom installation take?
Because we handle everything from structural changes to fine decorative details, a luxury renovation typically takes between two to three weeks. This timeline depends on the complexity of the plumbing and the amount of tiling required, but we always provide a clear schedule before we start.
Can I have a traditional look even if my water pressure is low?
Many older properties in Plymouth and Devon struggle with water pressure. As part of our turnkey service, we assess your plumbing system and can install high-quality pumps or unvented cylinders to make sure your traditional rainfall shower or large bath performs exactly as it should.
Do you handle all the electrical work and tiling?
Yes. Our service is completely turnkey. This includes all Part P compliant electrical work—such as mood lighting, heated mirrors, and underfloor heating—as well as expert tiling and plumbing. You won’t need to find any outside contractors.
