Everything the room needs, from one studio.

Some bathrooms only need refreshing. Others need to start again. A full overhaul is a strip back to studs and joists and a rebuild from there — and it is the only point at which a room's real problems get solved: the shower that was always in the wrong corner, the door swing that stole a metre of usable wall, the dead space behind a bulkhead nobody ever opened.

We run the whole sequence in order: demolition and removal, structural reconfiguration, plumbing and electrical rough-in, waterproofing, screeding, tiling, joinery, glass and final fit-off. One contractor carries the room from the first morning to the last, which is the only arrangement in which nothing falls between trades.

A bathroom is rarely a standard size, which is why catalogue vanities so often leave an awkward hundred millimetres at one end and no storage where you need it. Ours are built to the room: floating or freestanding, sized to the wall, with the waste and mixer set out before anything is cut.

Mirrored shaving cabinets recessed into the studwork, integrated storage that takes what a bathroom actually holds, fluted and veneer fronts, and stone or solid-surface tops with the edge detail resolved rather than defaulted.

Tiling is where a bathroom is either made or given away. Floor-to-ceiling porcelain and marble, kit-kat and mosaic, textured and hand-finished tile — each behaves differently, and each needs its setting out decided before the first sheet goes on the wall so that cuts land where they should and courses run true into corners.

Custom arch recesses and niches, stone benchtops, shelves and hobs, book-matched feature walls, mitred edges and shadow-line detail. The arch, in particular, is worth doing properly: it is a small radius that shows every millimetre of inaccuracy.
