That covers stripping out the old suite, first-fix plumbing, any changes to the layout, heated towel rails and radiators, underfloor heating where you want it, wall and floor tiling, and fitting the new sanitaryware, brassware and furniture. Because the same two people carry the job from the survey to the final clean, the decisions made at the start actually get carried through. The pipe runs are planned around where the tiles will sit, the shower valve is set at the height you chose, and the heating is sized for the room rather than added as an afterthought. Dunmow has everything from period cottages with uneven walls and older pipework to newer estate homes with compact en-suites. We survey the room first so the quote reflects what is really behind the walls and under the floor, not a guess made over the phone. ### Who it is for Dunmow homeowners replacing a tired bathroom, adding an en-suite, converting a bath to a walk-in shower, or updating a cloakroom. ### What is included Strip-out, plumbing, heating, tiling and fit-out under one fixed price, carried out by Neil and Sam rather than a rotating set of subcontractors. ### Why one team matters When the person who fits the pipework also tiles over it, there is nobody else to blame and every detail is accounted for. Left as it is ## Where bathroom projects usually fall apart A bathroom is a small room with a lot of trades packed into it. The costs and the delays almost always come from the handovers between them. ### Leaks hidden behind new tiles A poorly made joint or an untested waste can sit behind finished tiling for months before it shows up as a stain on the ceiling below. By then the fix means taking the new bathroom apart. ### Weeks lost between trades When the plumber, the tiler and the fitter are booked separately, one late arrival pushes everyone back and leaves you without a working bathroom for longer than planned. ### Quotes that grow on site Hourly rates and vague estimates leave the final figure open. Every surprise behind the old tiles becomes a new line on the invoice. ### A finish nobody owns Uneven grout lines, a shower tray that does not drain properly or a towel rail that never gets warm are easy to pass between trades and hard to get put right. ### Common mistakes we are called out to - Pricing a bathroom without seeing the existing pipework, floor and walls - Tiling before the plumbing has been pressure tested - Choosing a shower without checking the water pressure and flow it needs - Leaving heating until last, then finding the towel rail is undersized - Splitting the job across several trades with no single person responsible ## Our process, from first call to guarantee 01 ### Free survey at your Dunmow home We look at the room, the existing pipework, the floor, the water pressure and how you want to use the space, then talk through layout and options. 02 ### Fixed price quote One written price for the work agreed. No call-out fee, no hourly rate, and quotes are free. Large jobs are normally booked within 7 days, smaller ones sooner. 03 ### Strip-out and first fix The old bathroom is removed, pipework and wastes are run for the new layout, and everything is tested before any wall or floor is closed up. 04 ### Heating and tiling Towel rails, radiators or underfloor heating go in, then walls and floors are tiled to the same standard as the pipework behind them. 05 ### Fit-out and finish Sanitaryware, brassware, furniture and mirrors are fitted, sealed and checked, and the room is cleaned before handover. 06 ### Guarantee Our labour and pipework carry a 10-year guarantee, and you deal with the same two people if you ever need us again. What you get ## The practical difference on your job ### One price, agreed up front The quote is what you pay. No hourly rates, no call-out fee and no extras made up halfway through. ### Neil and Sam do the work 37 years of Neil's experience, with Sam working alongside him. No subcontractors and no handover gaps. ### Plumbing and tiling under one roof The tiling is finished by the same team that fitted the pipework, so the layout, levels and finish all line up. ### Qualified and insured Gas Safe registration 17648, Water Regulations and City & Guilds qualified, with £2 million public liability insurance. ### A 10-year guarantee Our labour and pipework are guaranteed for 10 years, long after the new bathroom has stopped feeling new. ### Heating designed in Towel rails, radiators and underfloor heating are planned as part of the room, not bolted on at the end. In detail ## Planning a bathroom in Dunmow Most of what makes a bathroom work is decided before anything is removed. These are the conversations we have at the survey. ### Bath, shower or both Plenty of Dunmow households are swapping a little-used bath for a walk-in shower, while families often want to keep a bath for the children. In a smaller room, a shower bath with a fixed screen can give you both without crowding the space. Whatever you choose, the shower has to suit your water system. A combination boiler, a system boiler with a cylinder, or a gravity-fed system all behave differently, so we check the pressure and flow before recommending a valve or a shower head. ### Older properties and period homes Older homes in and around Dunmow often have walls that are out of true, floors that move and pipework that has been altered several times over the years. That is not a reason to avoid a new bathroom, but it does need to be found and priced at the survey rather than discovered halfway through the job. We set out tiling from the room as it really is, so lines look straight even where the walls are not, and we replace old pipework where it would otherwise end up hidden behind a brand new finish. ### Keeping the room warm A heated towel rail sized for the room, a radiator on the right circuit, or electric or wet underfloor heating all change how a bathroom feels on a cold morning. Because we are heating engineers as well as bathroom fitters, the heating is designed with the rest of the room. If your boiler or cylinder is due for attention at the same time, we can look at it during the same survey and quote for it separately. ### Tiling that lasts Tiles are only as good as what is behind and under them. Correct boarding, tanking in wet areas, level substrates and proper movement joints are what stop grout cracking and tiles lifting a few years down the line. We tile walls and floors as part of the same job, from large-format porcelain to herringbone and metro patterns, so you are not waiting on a separate tiler to finish the room.
