Full Bathroom Installation
A full bathroom installation is a complete plumbing fit-out for a new bathroom suite, from initial pipework through to final connections and testing. It is designed to give you a bathroom that works properly from day one, with safe water supplies, reliable waste runs, and neat, accessible isolation where you need it.
More information
What a full bathroom installation covers
A full installation brings the plumbing for your new bathroom together as one coordinated job, so everything fits, flows, and performs as it should.
- Planning pipe routes, waste falls, and connection points to suit the bathroom layout
- First fix plumbing: hot and cold feeds, wastes, valves, and any required pipework alterations
- Second fix plumbing: fitting and connecting the bath, shower, basin, WC, taps, traps, and wastes
- Connections to existing services, with checks for capacity and safe isolation
- Pressure testing and leak testing of water supplies
- Testing of wastes for flow, blockages, and smells
- Commissioning and practical handover so you know what has been installed and how to use it
Who this service is for
This service suits clients who want a single, accountable plumbing installation for a bathroom upgrade or refit. It is especially useful when you are changing the layout, adding a shower or second basin, upgrading to modern fittings, or replacing ageing pipework to reduce future leaks.
How the installation is delivered
The work is usually delivered in phases to match the wider bathroom build.
- Pre-start checks and planning: confirm the specification, measurements, and connection points.
- First fix: install and position pipework and wastes before walls and floors are closed.
- Second fix: fit and connect sanitaryware and brassware once surfaces are finished.
- Testing and commissioning: run full checks on water pressure, leaks, drainage, and operation.
Timescales depend on the scope, access, and whether pipework needs to be rerouted.
After installation and ongoing value
After commissioning, you get a bathroom that is ready to use and easier to maintain. Clear isolation points and well-planned pipework make future servicing and repairs simpler, and thorough testing helps reduce the chance of early call-backs due to leaks or poor drainage.
