How much does a wet room cost to install?

A wet room conversion typically costs between £5,000 and £10,000 in Colchester. Wet rooms need full waterproof tanking and specialist drainage, which is why they usually cost more than fitting a standard shower enclosure of the same size.

What’s the biggest factor in the cost of a bathroom?

The two biggest factors are the products you choose and whether the layout changes. A like-for-like refit using mid-range fittings is far cheaper than a re-design that moves the toilet, bath and basin, which requires new pipework.

Do you supply the bathroom or do I buy it?

Either works. We can supply and fit from trusted suppliers, or fit products you’ve already bought. If you’d like guidance, we can recommend options to suit your budget and style before you commit.

How long does a bathroom installation take?

A full bathroom installation usually takes 5-10 working days depending on the size of the room, the complexity of the project, and the products chosen. We’ll give you a realistic timeline in your quote.

Do you handle the tiling and electrics too?

Yes. We handle plumbing, tiling and fitting in-house, and carry out electrical work with a registered electrician. You deal with one team from start to finish rather than coordinating several trades.

Do you offer free quotes for bathroom installation?

Yes. We provide free, no-obligation, itemised quotes for bathroom installations across Colchester and Essex. Call 01206 912 900 to arrange a visit.

What is the difference between a combi and a system boiler?

A combi boiler heats water on demand from a single unit with no cylinder or tank, making it ideal for smaller homes. A system boiler stores hot water in a separate cylinder, so it can supply several taps and showers at once – better for larger households with multiple bathrooms.

Which boiler is best for a small home or flat?

A combi boiler is usually the best choice for a small home or flat. It’s compact, needs no separate cylinder or loft tank, and provides instant hot water – ideal where space is limited and hot water demand is moderate.

Which boiler is best for a home with two bathrooms?

A system boiler is generally better for homes with two or more bathrooms, because the stored hot water in the cylinder can supply several outlets at the same time without a drop in flow.

Can I switch from a heat-only boiler to a combi?

Yes, this is a common upgrade. Converting from a conventional heat-only system to a combi means removing the cylinder and loft tank and reworking some pipework, so it costs more than a like-for-like swap – but it frees up space and simplifies the system.

Do system and heat-only boilers run out of hot water?

They can, because they rely on stored hot water in a cylinder. Once it’s used up it needs time to reheat. Sizing the cylinder correctly to your household’s demand avoids this in normal use – something we factor into every installation.

How do I know which boiler I need?

The right boiler depends on your property size, number of bathrooms, hot water habits, mains pressure and existing setup. The simplest way to be sure is a free survey – we’ll assess your home and recommend the most suitable type. Call 01206 912 900.
