Most bathroom failures aren’t fitting failures — they’re tanking failures. A WC that leaks through to the unit below, six years after the renovation, is almost always a sign that the cement waterproofing was rushed or skipped under the threshold strip.
We start every refit with a full strip-out, a structural look at the slab, and a proper two-coat tanking layer with a 72-hour flood test before any tile goes down.
What’s in a typical bathroom refit
- Strip-out and slab inspection, with photos of any reinforcement issues found
- Plumbing rough-in — including future-proof isolator valves on every fixture
- Two-coat cement-based waterproofing with a fabric reinforcement at corners
- 72-hour flood test before tiling
- Floor and wall tiling, fall sloped correctly to the drain
- Sanitary-ware install (dual-flush WC, vanity, basin, mixer, rain shower)
- Eco-rated low-flow tap aerators on all outlets
- LED lighting and exhaust-fan co-ordination with our electrical sub
Project flow, no surprises
