Frequently Asked Questions

The first step in getting started on your bathroom and/or kitchen renovation is to get in touch with our team and schedule a free, no-obligation consultation. Our dedicated project manager will then assess the room you want to renovate by taking measurements and a detailed report of how you envision your new space, key features, appliances, your budget and so on. We then work on getting a quote out to you within 5 working days, where you will be able to liaise with your project manager regarding any changes, if necessary, and move on to accepting the quote and contract.

This is easier if you have multiple bathrooms and are only renovating one, or if you have nearby family or friends who can share amenities.

We will always try to accommodate your preferences where possible.

Statistics show that having a modern and functional bathroom can significantly increase the value of your property. If you are looking to sell up soon, then keeping it simple and minimalistic is the way to go - however, you also want to show off the potential in your bathroom - particularly if you have an awkward or small space. If your home is on the market, and your bathroom needs updating, it's a perfect opportunity for potential buyers to knock the price down. Renovating your bathroom is a sure-fire way to increasing the value of your property and show-off your homes worth.

Renovating your bathroom is a perfect opportunity to improve its function and design. Clever storage systems, custom built vanities and cavity sliding doors are all examples of how to increase storage and space in your bathroom. Tricks like wall hung vanities and toilets, as well as floor to wall tiles both create the illusion of more space in a small bathroom. Our in-house bathroom designer will be able to advise on how to increase space and storage during your consultation.

Renovating your bathroom is a good idea if you are happy with the layout, but want to update features, style and function. Re-designing the whole bathroom is perfect for those bathrooms which are small and awkward, and is especially great if you have the capacity to expand/combine rooms. It ultimately comes down to preference and budget - both of which can be discussed during the consultation stage of your bathroom renovation project.
