Full bathroom installation in Croydon
Complete rip-out and refit — plumbing, electrics, tiling and fit-out, one team start to finish.
Croydon's terraced back-addition bathrooms are the standard full-refit job: strip to brick, insulate the two external walls that make these rooms cold, re-route the supply off the old gravity tank onto the combi that has usually replaced it, and re-tile throughout. In the 1930s stock around Shirley the classic move is amalgamating the separate WC into the bathroom to make one decent-sized room. In the central towers the job is faster — concrete floors, tidy risers — but needs the freeholder's consent first, which we obtain before quoting a start date.
The houses we see in Croydon
The Victorian terraces of Broad Green, Thornton Heath and South Norwood carry the classic back-addition bathroom: small, cold, external soil stack, timber floors. Addiscombe and Shirley are Edwardian and 1930s family houses with a proper upstairs bathroom and usually a separate WC worth knocking through. Central Croydon is flats — 1960s blocks with concrete floors and old iron stacks, and the new towers around Boxpark and East Croydon with plastic internal risers, management companies and lease clauses that decide what a bathroom refit is allowed to touch.
What bathroom installation involves
A full bathroom installation in south London costs £5,000–£9,000 excluding VAT and the suite, and takes two to three weeks. That covers rip-out, first-fix plumbing and electrics, waterproofing, tiling, fit-out and certification — the labour-only figure national guides quote at £2,000–£4,000 buys a like-for-like swap, not a full renovation.
