The approach

Two bold finishes, one calm room

The bath and the shower each have their own zone and their own tile. Behind the bath, large hexagon tiles in a botanical print make the feature wall. The shower is lined in a dark, heavily veined stone effect porcelain. A plain grey floor runs through both, so the room feels bold without feeling busy.

Matt black brassware, a black ladder towel rail and a backlit oval mirror tie the two zones together. The mirror gives soft, even light over the bath in the evening.

A freestanding bath as the centrepiece

A wall mounted filler with a handset keeps the bath rim clear and the look clean.

A proper walk in shower

Frameless glass, a rainfall head and a handset, separate from the bath so both are comfortable to use.

Pattern set out with care

Hexagon tiles only look right when the pattern lands evenly around the mirror and at every edge. That is decided before the first tile goes on.

Scope of works

Everything handled by one team

No separate plumber, electrician and tiler to coordinate. We managed every trade and every stage of this bathroom, in the right order.

  • Protection & strip out

    Floors and access routes protected. The old bathroom removed and waste cleared from site.

  • First fix plumbing

    New supply and waste runs, valves and fixings set out before a tile goes on.

  • First fix electrics

    Lighting, extraction, heated towel rail and mirror connections wired to the agreed layout.

  • Preparation & waterproofing

    Walls boarded and levelled. Wet areas waterproofed before tiling.

  • Tiling

    Tiles set out from the centre lines so cuts land evenly, then laid with straight, consistent joints.

  • Second fix & handover

    Sanitaryware, brassware, glass and lighting fitted, then snagged together before handover.

How we manage a bathroom renovation

Clear from the first visit to the final check

The part homeowners worry about most is not the tiles. It is the disruption, the communication and whether the job finishes as agreed. This is how we run it.

  1. Site visit

    We see the room, check access and existing services, and talk through how you want the bathroom to work.

  2. Written proposal

    A clear, itemised quotation. What is included, what is not, and who supplies what, agreed before we start.

  3. Planning & ordering

    Sanitaryware, brassware and tiles confirmed and ordered, so the build is not held up waiting for materials.

  4. The build

    Protection, strip out, first fix, waterproofing, tiling and second fix, carried out in sequence by our own team.

  5. Updates you can follow

    One point of contact throughout. You know what is happening this week and when we need a decision from you.

  6. Snagging & handover

    We walk the finished room with you and resolve any points before we sign it off.

FAQs

Bathroom renovation in Kensington: your questions answered

Can’t see your question? Call 020 3576 7307 or message us on WhatsApp.

How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Kensington?

It depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes, what is behind the existing walls and floor, and the bath, tiles and brassware you choose. A freestanding bath and a separate walk in shower involve more plumbing and more tiling than a standard refit.

After a site visit we give you an itemised written quotation, so you can see where the budget goes before anything is agreed.

Can you fit a freestanding bath in my bathroom?

Usually, yes. We check the space around the bath, the position of the waste, and the floor construction, since a filled bath is heavy. We also look at where a wall mounted or floor standing filler can be supplied from before recommending the layout.

Can I have both a bath and a walk in shower?

In many London bathrooms, yes, if the room is planned well. We look at the footprint, the waste routes and where the door and window sit, then show you the layouts that work before you commit.

Do you manage everything, or do I need separate trades?

We manage the whole bathroom: protection, strip out, plumbing, electrics, preparation, waterproofing, tiling, fitting and decoration. You deal with one team and one point of contact, not a plumber, an electrician and a tiler working to different schedules.

How long does a complete bathroom renovation take?

Timescales depend on the scope, any layout changes and lead times on materials. We confirm a realistic programme after the site visit, and we order key items before work starts so the build is not left waiting on deliveries.

Do you work with my architect or interior designer?

Yes. Where a designer or architect is involved, we build to their drawings and specification and coordinate with them on site. If you do not have a designer, we can talk through layout, finishes and practical options with you.

Will my home be protected while you work?

Floors and routes through the property are protected before strip out, dust is controlled, and the site is left tidy at the end of each day. Clients regularly mention in reviews how clean the team kept their home.

Do you cover Kensington and West London?

Yes. We are based in West Hampstead and complete bathroom renovations across London, including Kensington, Holland Park, Notting Hill and Chiswick. Send us your postcode to confirm.
