Bathroom Fitting in London — Fully Fitted, From Strip-Out to Final Seal
New bathroom or refurbishment — we handle the plumbing, tiling and everything in between
Whether you’re fitting a new bathroom suite in a Victorian terrace in Islington, creating a wet room in a modern Canary Wharf flat, or refitting a tired en-suite in a South London semi, 247 Plumber London handles the complete project from start to finish. We take care of the strip-out, tanking, waterproofing, tiling, sanitaryware installation, plumbing connections, and the final silicone seal — so you have one reliable team managing everything rather than coordinating multiple contractors. Our bathroom fitters are experienced with all property types across London, and we supply sanitaryware or fit suites you’ve already bought. Pricing is clear and agreed before work starts.
What’s Included in Our Bathroom Fitting Service
Strip-Out
We remove the existing bathroom suite, tiles, and flooring carefully, disposing of all waste responsibly. We inspect the substrate — floor and walls — for any water damage, rot, or structural issues before proceeding, and report anything significant to you before starting the fit.
Tanking and Waterproofing
In wet areas — shower enclosures and wet rooms particularly — proper waterproofing is essential. We apply tanking membrane to walls and floors before tiling, creating a continuous waterproof barrier that protects the structure of your property for decades. Skipping this step is a false economy that leads to costly water damage.
Tiling
Our bathroom fitters tile walls and floors to a high standard. We can work with tiles you supply or advise on suitable options. Porcelain, ceramic, natural stone, and large-format tiles are all within our capability. We grout and seal all tiled areas correctly to prevent water ingress at joints.
Sanitaryware Installation
Bath, shower tray, shower enclosure, WC, basin, and vanity unit are all fitted and levelled correctly. We make all waste and supply connections, test every outlet, and ensure flush mechanisms, shower valves, and taps are functioning perfectly before signing off.
Waste and Plumbing Connections
All waste outlets are connected correctly with properly trapped connections to prevent sewer gases entering the room. Hot and cold supply pipework is neatly run, insulated where appropriate, and pressure tested before wall coverings go on.
Final Silicone Seal
A neat, mould-resistant silicone bead is applied at all junctions — bath to wall, shower tray to enclosure, basin to wall, worktop to tiles. This is the final line of defence against water ingress and makes the difference between a professional finish and an amateur one.
Types of Bathroom We Fit in London
En-Suite Bathrooms
En-suite bathrooms in London bedrooms are typically compact, requiring precise planning to make the most of limited space. We design the layout to maximise usability, ensure good ventilation, and deliver a high-quality finish in a tight footprint.
Family Bathrooms
A family bathroom needs to be practical, durable, and easy to clean. We fit full-size baths, walk-in showers, dual basins and storage solutions that work for everyday family use — not just show bathrooms.
Wet Rooms
A wet room — a fully waterproofed shower area with a level floor and linear drain — is increasingly popular in London conversions and flats. Proper tanking and gradient are critical; we have extensive experience fitting wet rooms across all London property types.
Cloakroom and WC
A downstairs cloakroom adds convenience and value to a London property. Space is usually very limited, so every millimetre matters. We fit compact sanitaryware, connect to existing drainage and supply, and tile and finish the space to a high standard.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you supply the sanitaryware, or do I need to source it?
We can supply everything — bath, WC, basin, shower, taps, and accessories — or we can fit a suite you’ve already purchased. If you supply your own, just ensure it arrives before the installation date and includes all required installation components.
How long does a bathroom fit take?
A standard bathroom refurbishment typically takes 5-7 working days. An en-suite or cloakroom may take 3-4 days. A wet room or complex layout can take longer. We’ll give you a realistic programme when we quote.
Is tiling included?
Yes, wall and floor tiling is included in our full bathroom fit service. We can work with tiles you supply or advise on suitable products based on your budget and the room’s usage.
Do you handle electrics as well as plumbing?
Our team focuses on plumbing and tiling. Electrical work — such as fitting an extractor fan, shaver socket, or heated towel rail — is carried out by a registered electrician. We can coordinate this for you or work alongside your own electrician.
Can I see examples of your work?
Yes — we can share photographs of completed bathroom installations across London. Contact us and we’ll send through relevant examples for your type of project.
I’ve already bought my suite — can you just fit it?
Absolutely. If you’ve purchased your own sanitaryware, we’re happy to provide a fitting-only service. Just let us know what you have and we’ll quote accordingly.
Do you fit wet rooms?
Yes. Wet rooms require specialist tanking and careful gradient work to ensure the floor drains correctly. We have extensive experience fitting wet rooms in London flats, conversions, and houses.
How do I get a quote?
Call us on 0800 999 1075 and we’ll arrange a convenient time to visit your property and provide a detailed written quote. There’s no charge for the quotation visit.
Do you remove the old bathroom?
Yes, strip-out and disposal of the old bathroom suite and tiles is included as part of the full service. We take everything away — you don’t need to arrange a skip.
Do you work in London flats and apartments?
Yes. We’re experienced working in London flats, including leasehold properties where there may be building management requirements and noise restrictions. We follow building management rules and ensure work is carried out considerately.
