Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our bathroom design and installation services.
How long does a full Victorian bathroom restoration usually take?
Because we handle everything from strip-out to final polishing, a complete restoration typically takes between three to four weeks. This timeline allows us to address any hidden plumbing issues common in older properties and ensures the tiling and finishing are executed to a high standard.
Can my old floorboards support a heavy cast iron bath?
This is a common concern in Victorian homes. As part of our turnkey service, we assess your floor joists during the design phase. If they need reinforcing to safely hold a traditional cast iron or stone bath, our team carries out that structural work as part of the installation.
Do I need to buy the tiles and fixtures myself?
No. We provide a full design and supply service. We source high-quality, period-appropriate fixtures, from cross-head taps to bespoke cabinetry, making sure every element fits the aesthetic and meets our strict quality standards for durability.
Is it possible to have a walk-in shower in a traditional Victorian bathroom?
Yes, it is. We often design "traditional wet rooms" or walk-in showers that use period-style glass screens and classic tiling patterns. This gives you the convenience of modern showering while maintaining the historic character of the room.
