Bathroom installers in Truro, working across Cornwall

When you invest in a bathroom you need to know the person fitting it is up to the job. Thirty years of installations, from the unseen plumbing and electrics to the fittings you look at every day, finished so it complements the rest of the house.

Bathroom work we take on

Rooms of every size, ask if yours isn't listed

Complete bathroom installation

Strip-out to final seal, handled by one team: plumbing, electrics, insulation, tiling and fitting, with a quality finish throughout.

En-suites and cloakrooms

Small rooms where every millimetre and every pipe run has to be planned before anything is ordered.

Wet rooms and level access

Tanking, falls and drainage set out properly, so a wet room stays dry where it should for years.

Plumbing and electrics

The unseen half of the job. Pipework, waste runs, extraction, lighting and shaver points, all to current standards.

Showers and hot water

Pressure and flow checked before a shower is chosen, with pumps or an unvented cylinder specified only where they are needed.

Second bathrooms in conversions

New rooms in lofts, garages and outbuildings, planned alongside the builder and the existing services.

Sound familiar?

The worries that come up before most bathroom projects, and none of them need to be a problem.

The last one was left half finished. One firm from strip-out to handover, so there is nobody to hand the blame to and no gap between trades.

We only have one bathroom. The programme is planned around that, with the room out of use for the shortest realistic time and the schedule agreed up front.

The shower has never been any good. Flow and pressure are measured before anything is specified, so the new shower actually performs.

It is an old house and nothing is square. Older Cornish properties are the day job. Uneven floors, thick walls and awkward waste runs are planned for, not discovered halfway through.

We do not want to live on a building site. Dust sheets, protected floors, a daily clear-up and the rest of the house kept liveable throughout.

How a project runs

The same careful sequence, whether it is an en-suite or a full re-fit.

  1. Survey and measure

    A proper visit to check the room, the existing pipework and drainage, and how the bathroom will actually be used.

  2. Design and written quote

    Layout agreed and quoted in plain English, with named fittings, so you know exactly what is included.

  3. Clean installation

    Strip-out, first fix, tiling and fitting run in order, with the site protected and tidied every day.

  4. Test and hand over

    Everything run, tested and sealed, the room cleaned, and any paperwork and guarantees handed over.

Recent bathroom project

New en-suite, Truro

An en-suite added for a customer whose oil system had already been converted to gas the year before, with the plumbing, electrics and finish handled by the same engineer who knew the house.

Happily, we had him install a new en-suite during the summer where he showed multiple skills.

Bathroom questions, answered

The things customers ask before booking. Anything else, just call.

Do you handle the whole bathroom or just the plumbing?

The whole room. Plumbing, electrics, insulation, tiling and fitting are all covered, so there is one point of contact from strip-out to handover rather than a queue of separate trades.

How long will we be without the bathroom?

It depends on the size of the room, the state of what is behind the walls and whether anything is being moved. The survey establishes a realistic schedule and the written quote states it, so you can plan around it before work starts.

Can we supply our own suite and tiles?

Yes. Plenty of customers choose their own fittings. Say so at the survey so the layout, pipework and pressure can be checked against what you have picked before it is ordered.

Will the work be guaranteed?

Our engineers take pride in their work and guarantee it, and manufacturer guarantees on the fittings are registered where they apply. The paperwork is handed over at the end of the job.

Do you cover our village?
