Full bathroom installation in Kingston upon Thames
Complete rip-out and refit — plumbing, electrics, tiling and fit-out, one team start to finish.
A Canbury or Fairfield cottage refit is a craftsman's job: the room is small, out of square, and the walls are a lottery of lath, bonding and previous owners' decisions. We true the walls with backer board before tiling rather than chasing straightness with adhesive — the only way metro tiles stay honest on cottage walls. Riverside apartment refits are the opposite: square concrete boxes where the work is logistics — agent consent, lift slots, protected corridors — which we price in rather than discover.
The houses we see in Kingston upon Thames
Canbury and Fairfield are flat-fronted Victorian cottages — charming, small, and structurally quirky: out-of-square rooms, shallow joists, bathrooms added into what were bedrooms or extended into the yard. Norbiton and the Berrylands direction are 1930s semis with conventional upstairs bathrooms. The riverside is modern apartment stock from the 1980s to brand new, all leasehold, with communal risers and management processes. Coombe, to the east, is large detached houses with multi-bathroom renovations.
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.
