Bathroom installation in Hexham
I fit full bathrooms in Hexham and the villages round the Tyne valley. One person start to finish, so you are not chasing four different trades and nobody is blaming anybody else.
Older stone properties
A lot of Hexham housing is older stone and solid wall, and bathrooms in those properties nearly always throw up something: uneven floors, timber that needs strengthening before a stone resin tray goes down, or pipework that has been added to over decades with no plan.
I strip back and put it right rather than tiling over the top. It takes a bit longer but it is the difference between a bathroom that lasts fifteen years and one that leaks in two.
Water pressure in the valley
Some properties out here have poor mains pressure, which makes for a disappointing shower whatever you spend on the valve. I measure the flow rate first and, where it is needed, fit a pump or an unvented cylinder so the shower actually performs.
How the job runs
Strip out, first fix plumbing and any electrics, board and tank the wet areas, tile or clad, then second fix and commission. I keep the site tidy, sheet the route in and out, and take the old suite away.
Typical full refit is one to two weeks depending on size and tiling.

Bathroom installations in Hexham: common questions
- Do you supply the suite or do I?
- Either. Plenty of customers pick their own and I fit it. If you would rather I sourced it, I will, and you see the trade paperwork.
- How long does a bathroom take?
- One to two weeks for a full refit. Wet rooms take a little longer because the tanking and screed need time to cure properly.
- Do you do the tiling and electrics too?
- I do the tiling and cladding myself. For notifiable electrical work I bring in a qualified electrician I have worked with for years, and I coordinate it so you do not have to.
