Family bathroom · half tiled

How we fit
Before we start you get the programme: strip-out on day one, first fix on two and three, boarding and tanking, tiling, second fix, silicone. If a day moves, Siân rings you the evening before.
Every shower area, wet room floor and bath wall is tanked with a waterproof membrane before it is tiled. Grout is not waterproof, and a leak behind tiles is the most expensive thing in a bathroom.
Lights, fans, heated rails and underfloor heating are fitted by a registered electrician, and you get the certificate. Bathrooms are a special location in the wiring regulations, with reason.
A protected route from the door to the bathroom, the strip-out bagged and taken the same day, and the house hoovered each afternoon. You live in it while we work; we act like it.
Wet rooms and access
The Disabled Facilities Grant is paid by the council towards adaptations someone needs to live safely at home, up to £36,000 in Wales. It starts with the council's occupational therapist, who writes the specification; the council decides eligibility and approves a quote. We quote to the specification, wait for approval, and never start before it, because work started early may not be funded.

Customers
The programme said ten days and it was eleven, because they found a rotten joist under the bath, showed us, priced it and fixed it before the floor went down. The toilet worked every night. Siân rang the evening before every day that changed. It is the nicest room in the house.
My mother's wet room was funded by the grant. Siân explained every stage, waited for the council's approval without pushing us, and Mark fitted the rails where the occupational therapist had marked them, to the centimetre. Mam can shower on her own again.
An en-suite in the loft conversion, fitted inside the builder's programme without holding him up once. The design visit found that gravity would work if the shower went at the high end, so no pump. Worth the £95 just for that.
The showroom
Five minutes from Penarth station, step-free from the pavement, with a wet room you can try sitting down and showers plumbed in so you can feel the difference between the valves. Open Tuesday to Saturday, late on Thursday by appointment.
Our packages, supplied and fitted including VAT: a family bathroom from £7,800, an en-suite from £5,900, a wet room from £9,500 and a cloakroom from £3,200, with half-height tiling. Full tiling and extras such as underfloor heating are added on the estimator, which gives a band and the days on site.
A family bathroom is about ten working days. If it is your only one, the toilet is reconnected every evening and you have a shower back within the first week; the programme shows which days.
The current lead time to a fit start date is on the estimator page, worked out from the time of year: usually five to eight weeks, longest in the autumn. Products are ordered when you pay the deposit, and the start date is fixed then.
We explain how it works, quote to the occupational therapist's specification, wait for the council's approval, and work with its surveyor. The council decides eligibility; the wet rooms page explains the stages.
25% to order the products, the rest on completion when you are happy with it. No stage payments in between for a standard bathroom.
Mostly, because the guarantee is simplest that way. We will fit products you supply, and the guarantee covers our workmanship but not the products.
The design visit is £95 and comes off the bathroom when you order: Siân measures the room, finds the pipes and the soil stack, and sends a drawn layout with three priced options within a week. Or price a package on the estimator first.
