Bathroom fitting in East London means working in some of the tightest spaces in the country. Many Victorian and Edwardian terraces have bathrooms barely 2 metres by 1.5 metres, and council-built flats from the 1960s and 70s are not much bigger. A bathroom fitter here needs to maximise every centimetre while delivering a watertight, well-finished result.

What bathroom fitting involves

A full bathroom refit typically includes stripping out the old suite, first-fix plumbing and electrics, floor levelling, wall preparation, installing the new bath or shower, basin, and toilet, tiling walls and floors, second-fix plumbing, fitting accessories, and final connections. Wet room installations need additional tanking and precise floor falls. Most bathroom fitters either do the tiling themselves or work closely with a tiler.

Bathroom fitting costs in East London

Labour for a full bathroom refit in East London ranges from £2,500 to £5,000 depending on the scope. A basic swap of suite with retiling costs less than a full reconfiguration with moved waste pipes and new electrical circuits. The bathroom suite and tiles add £1,000 to £4,000 depending on quality. Budget £4,000 to £8,000 for a complete mid-range bathroom refit including everything.

Timescales

A straightforward like-for-like bathroom refit takes five to seven working days. A full strip-out with layout changes, new plumbing routes, and wet room installation can take two weeks or more. Factor in drying time for waterproofing membranes and tile adhesive. Cutting corners on these leads to failures that cost more to fix than the original installation.

Choosing a bathroom fitter

Look for someone who has fitted bathrooms similar to yours. A fitter experienced with East London properties will anticipate issues like hidden lead pipes, asbestos in old tiles, and inadequate ventilation. Ask about their approach to waterproofing and ventilation, check their insurance, and read reviews from recent customers.
