Bathroom Fitting & Wet Rooms Northampton

A bathroom lives or dies on details you can't see once it's finished, the waterproofing behind the tiles, the fall of the floor toward the drain, and the quality of the plumbing connections. We fit bathrooms and wet rooms across Northampton and Milton Keynes, treating those hidden details as seriously as the visible finish.

What Bathroom Fitting Involves

  1. Stripping out the existing bathroom, including safe disconnection of plumbing and electrics

  2. First fix plumbing for the new layout, including any changes to fixture positions

  3. Waterproofing (tanking) in wet areas, particularly showers and wet rooms, before any tiling goes on

  4. Fitting the bath, shower, basin, toilet and other fixtures

  5. Tiling and flooring, finished to a level, properly sealed standard

  6. Electrics, including appropriately rated lighting and extraction for a bathroom environment

Wet Rooms

A wet room, where the whole floor is waterproofed and gently falls toward a drain rather than relying on a shower tray, needs particularly careful attention to waterproofing and floor fall to work properly. Get this wrong and water finds its way where it shouldn't, into the subfloor or the room below, so this is a project where proper preparation matters more than almost anywhere else in the house.

Note

Building Regulations for Bathrooms

Bathroom electrics fall under specific Building Regulations zones based on proximity to water, restricting what electrical fittings can be used where. Any electrical work must be carried out by a qualified electrician and properly certified, and any changes to plumbing that affect the property's drainage or water supply may also need to meet current Building Regulations standards.

Why Choose Bridgework

  • Proper waterproofing before any tiling, not just a token layer

  • Correct floor fall for wet rooms, checked and confirmed before the finish goes on

  • Appropriately qualified electricians for bathroom electrical work, with proper certification

  • A clear quote before work starts

Bathroom Fitting FAQs

Most standard bathroom fits take one to two weeks, with wet rooms or more complex layouts sometimes taking longer due to the additional waterproofing and floor preparation involved.

A shower enclosure uses a tray and enclosed cubicle to contain water, while a wet room waterproofs the entire floor and walls, with the floor gently falling toward a drain, giving a more open, level-access appearance.

Wet rooms are commonly chosen for level-access accessibility, since they avoid the step of a shower tray, though they're also popular simply for their clean, open appearance regardless of accessibility needs.

In most cases yes, though this typically involves more floor preparation work than a standard refit, since the floor level and fall need to be addressed properly for the wet room to function correctly.
