Projects
Every one fitted by our own team, photographed on the morning we started and the afternoon we finished, with what it cost and how many working days it took. Published with the owners' permission and without their house numbers.
Family bathroom · half tiled
Plymouth Road, Penarth
A 1930s semi with an avocado suite nobody had dared to remove. Bath kept under the window, a walk-in shower where the airing cupboard was, the boiler moved to the loft by our plumber.
£11,20012 working days
En-suite · full tiled
Victoria Road, Penarth
The old cubicle had leaked into the kitchen ceiling twice. New stud wall, a low tray twice the size, a fixed panel instead of the folding door, fully tanked.
£7,6009 working days
Wet room · grant-funded
Sully
Specified by the council's occupational therapist and funded by a Disabled Facilities Grant: level floor, seat, rails into pattress boards, a door rehung to open outward.
Grant-funded11 working days
Cloakroom · half tiled
Westbourne Road, Penarth
A cloakroom with pine on every surface. Concealed cistern, a basin 25 cm deep, deep green tiles to the dado rail and a mirror the width of the wall.
£4,4005 working days
En-suite · loft conversion
Lower Penarth
Fitted into a new loft conversion under the builder's programme: waste by gravity to the stack, a fan ducted through the roof, a shower placed where the ceiling is highest.
£8,9009 working days
Shower upgrade
Dinas Powys
For a customer who could no longer step into the bath. Bath out, low tray in the same space, concealed thermostatic valve, the rest of the room untouched.
£4,3004 working days
Family bathroom · full tiled
Marine Parade, Penarth
A tall Victorian room that deserved better. Freestanding bath in the middle, underfloor heating under encaustic-pattern tiles, and the original window shutters restored.
£14,60013 working days
Shower over bath
Cogan
The suite was fine. A thermostatic shower off the combination boiler instead of the electric one, a hinged screen, and the shower end tanked and retiled.

Several have said yes. Ask Siân, and she will put you in touch with the one whose bathroom is closest to yours.
It was funded by a Disabled Facilities Grant, and the customer asked us not to publish the figure. The grant in Wales can be up to £36,000; most wet rooms cost far less.
Straightened and colour-corrected, nothing more. The before photographs are taken on the morning we start, with the owner's things moved out of the way.
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.
