Small bathroom renovation in Kingston upon Thames
Making tight Victorian and flat bathrooms work harder — layout, storage and light, not just new tiles.
The Victorian cottages give us Kingston's smallest rooms — bathrooms squeezed into former box rooms, often with the door opening against the basin. Cottage moves that work: rehang or slide the door, 1400mm compact bath or shower-only, and use the alcoves either side of the chimney breast for recessed storage, which these houses offer free. For the university rental market around Norbiton we build landlord-spec small bathrooms: standard replaceable sanitaryware, full-tiled floors with tanking, and sealed storage that survives tenancies.
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 small bathrooms involves
A small bathroom renovation in south London costs £4,000–£6,500 excluding VAT and takes one to two weeks. Most south London bathrooms are small — the back-addition bathroom of a Victorian terrace is typically under 4m² — and the wins are layout moves: a short-projection toilet, wall-hung basin, over-bath shower or walk-in tray, and every centimetre of wall used for storage.
This is for you if
- The bathroom is under 4m² and feels cramped however clean it is
- A bulky airing cupboard or old layout is eating half the room
- You want a shower but think the room is too small for one
- The only storage is a wobbly freestanding cabinet
- A dark internal bathroom with no window
- A rental flat bathroom that needs to survive tenants
What's included
- Layout options drawn before you commit — usually three ways to use the room
- Space-saving sanitaryware: short-projection WCs, wall-hung basins, sliding glass
- Built-in storage in the dead zones — over the door, in stud walls, boxed pipework
- Light-maximising finishes: large mirrors, reflective tiles, glass over solid
- Proper extraction sized for a small volume — the mould killer
- Full strip-out to fit-out in one to two weeks
The standard we work to
Same regulations as any bathroom: Part P electrics in zones, Part F ventilation — small rooms need the extractor most.
