Bath Installation

What bath installation covers

Bath installation is a project-based plumbing service focused on getting the bath fitted securely, connected correctly, and tested thoroughly. Depending on your bathroom layout and the bath you choose, the service typically includes:

• Site check and practical advice on positioning, pipework routes, and access for future maintenance
• Safe isolation of existing supplies and removal of redundant connections as needed
• First fix plumbing where required (pipework adjustments for hot and cold feeds, waste positioning)
• Setting and levelling the bath, including proper support to prevent movement and creaks
• Installing and connecting the waste, trap, and overflow
• Connecting taps or bath fillers (where supplied and compatible)
• Sealing and making good at the bath edge to reduce the risk of water ingress
• Pressure and flow checks, leak testing, and drainage testing before sign-off

When this service is right for you

Choose bath installation if you are replacing a worn, damaged, or poorly fitted bath, or if your bathroom is being refreshed and you want the plumbing done properly first time. It is also ideal where you have slow drainage, recurring leaks around the bath, or limited access that needs careful planning. Landlords and small commercial sites often use this service to reduce callouts by fitting robust components and ensuring everything is tested before handover.

How the installation is delivered

Work usually starts with confirming the bath type, tap and waste arrangement, and the condition of the existing pipework. If you are mid-refurbishment, plumbing can be split into first fix and second fix phases to suit your tiling and finishing schedule. Once fitted, connections are tested under running water and the installation is checked for stability, alignment, and clean drainage.

After installation: what happens next

You will be shown the key isolation points and any access areas needed for future maintenance. If any follow-on work is required, such as updating valves, improving drainage fall, or correcting access issues, you will get clear options so you can decide what to do now and what can wait. The aim is a bath that works reliably day to day, with fewer surprises later.
