Local Bathroom Fitters

By edenrenovations / Bathroom Specialists / Comments Off

We are London’s local bathroom fitters, specialized in fitting any new bathroom suites, showers and wet rooms. Our bathroom suite replacement service starts with the removal of the old bathroom stuff, preparing the place (leveling properly the walls and floor surface), preparing the new hot and cold water connections for the washbasin and bathtub or the shower room, installing the toilet or the bidet, laying tiles on the floor and walls (we do lay any kind of tiles on floor and walls surface – porcelain / ceramic, stone, marble, mosaic, quarry tiles), installing new lighting and extractor fan (we do install waterproof low voltage spotlights and extractor fans), painting the ceiling and any woodwork inside of the bathroom and we end up with cleaning the place at your requirements.

As the London’s local bathroom fitters, we do have a response team in case of an emergency, like maybe there is a pipe leaking (or more), the hot or cold water not working or for any other issue related to your bathroom. Just make a call to us and we will respond to your request as quick as possible.

Our costs ar not calculated on daily (hourly) rate basis, but nor fixed. We do charge a bathroom fitting based on the size of the bathroom, the amount and the type of the materials needed, by the current condition of the existing bathroom or place. So, it can start from a couple of hundreds and go to a couple of thousands. That’s why, for us it is very important to see the place before submitting any quote to you, but you don’t have to be worried, we don’t have a call out charge or charge you for the quote.

If you have in your mind to change your bathroom suite with new one, renew the painting, re-tile the walls or the floor, to have installed a thermostatic shower, a washbasin, toilet, new lights, a new shower cubicle or you want to change the bathroom into a wet room, just give us a quote (or email us) and ask for our free quote.

The bathroom renovation professionals – EDEN Renovations LTD

It is much more efficient to have done everything as a a single job, it takes less time, less disturbing and you will figure you’ll still have some money left in your pocket for some other bits and pieces (which you can use them to do something else). If you need a local renovation company in London area, to undertake refurbishments, just give us a call. We will send our local team to you, straight away, to give you a quote.

What involves a complete bathroom refurbishment?

A complete bathroom refurbishment involves the removal (and disposal, we can also keep some of the stuff at you convenience) of everything was old in your bathroom. Next to removal, is preparation of the surfaces and the plumbing, you’ll need a plan to figure where you’ll want the bathtub (if is not the same place as before) or the shower installed, the washbasin, the toilet and the towel rail. It is highly recommended to change the old piping, so a new rerouting of the pipes will be necessary. We have the best plumbers in the area to undertake this part of the job. Further on, you will have to choose the bathroom suite, find (or we will use our main suppliers in London) the local warehouse in London area (but be careful to have the exactly measurements before making any purchase – like the measurements of the new bathtub – has to fit on the place you want; or the shower tray and the shower enclosure; etc. After all connections were done, the next step is to prepare the floor and wall surfaces for the new tiling (you can choose from having porcelain / ceramic, mosaic, marble, stone or quarry tiles), so you will need our local tiller. If you choose to do not have laid tiles on all walls (that means you’ll have tiles only above the washbasin and the bathtub / shower area), then on that surface you will need someone to apply some special bathroom paint. The bathroom refurbishment project will be finished by testing if everything is working properly and a proper cleaning of the site.

How much cost to refurbish a standard bathroom in London area?

During the last years, people just start to feel a bit more confident in making investments in their homes (that’s probably because we’ve been hitten by a global economical crisis, or… they just like what they have until now), and, even they request quotes over quotes to have a ball-park figure about how much will it cost them to refurbish the bathroom, they don’t actually aim to start the project straight away. Not a bad idea (I would do probably the same), but if you really need some changes in your home, why not? Quotes are free, all over the world (not 100% so sure about that, but ours are free), we will not ask you for money just for a quick visit and an email sent with some work description and a price for labour work.

Finally… we don’t charge you at daily base rate, nor we have a fixed price ro refurbish a bathroom, after all, not all the bathroom has the same size and same for the bathroom suite which will come in, nor all are the same.

Make sure you you specify all that you need, or at least a rough idea about what you need. Go to Quick Contact Form on the right side of the page and ask for what you need. I will get back to you in the shortest possible time (same day – usually within a couple of hours since the request was sent).

Basins

By edenrenovations / Bathroom Installers / Comments Off

Basins are traditionally made from ceramic, although contemporary designs made of glass, wood, marble, and other types of natural stone are available. There are several common designs – full-pedestal, half-pedestal, and wall-mounted. Basins can also be supported by fitted units with storage cupboards underneath.

Basins are straight-forward to replace. We simply remove the old basin and connect the new one. When it is a new-build project or a basin is required to be installed in a new position, we will re-route water supply and drainage pipes.

When fitting wall-mounted basins, this rely on their fixings to support their full weight. Most manufacturers supply special brackets with wall-mounted basins. If none supplied, we will procure this fixings from the local building warehouse supplier. When fixing a wall-mounted basin to a stud wall, we insert new noggins to provide tim fixing points, also we modify the pipework to run through the wall at the same time.

Toilets

By edenrenovations / Bathroom Installers / Comments Off

A cistern and a pan make up a toilet. The cistern holds the flush mechanism and water, which empties into a pan attached to the waste. Cisterns either match the pan and sit on top of it (close-coupled), or are connected to the pan by a pipe. The are made of ceramic, acrylic or metal. Some cisterns are designed to be hidden in the wall. Pans are usually made from ceramic with a vitreous enamel or stainless steel. They can be wall-mounted or floor-mounted. All pans have an integral trap – a U-bend filled with water – to prevent bad smells escaping from the waste pipes. Toilets connect to the waste pipe horizontally or vertically – adapters are available if a new toilet is differently aligned to the old.

Replacing and existing toilet is a straight-forward task for our bathroom fitters, because the supply and waste pipes are already in position. Before we are replacing the toilet, we remove the old one, taking care not to damage the outlet to the soil stack.

Moving or adding a toilet is a more complex job. You will may have to notify your local building control office if you are planning to modify your main soil stack and/or install new toilet.

Baths and Showers

By edenrenovations / Bathroom Installers / Comments Off

Baths can be made from a variety of materials. Enamelled steel and iron baths are cold to be touch. Steel baths are cheaper but chip easily, iron baths are expensive and heavy, but are long-lasting. Acrylic are light, cheap, and warm but can be scratched, and thin acrylic can be deformed by heavy loads of water. Composite resins are sturdy, but lighter than metal and warm to be touch. Other options include baths with water jets and air bubbles. Walk-in baths are also available with improved access for the elderly and disabled. A shower can be fitted over the baths, but there are situations when they can’t.

Bath dimensions cary widely, so first we will check a new bath if will fit in the same spot as the old. Another consideration with very large baths is whether is possible to manoeuvre it through your home to the bathroom.

Room to work is also very important – especially in smaller bathrooms. It will be necessary to remove the other fittings in order to remove the old bath and fit new one.

There is an enormous selection of shower designs on offer. To add a new shower to your existing suite, one option is to construct a separate cubicle for one if there is room. Alternatively, we can install a shower above the existing bath.

Choosing shower furniture

In some cases your main bathroom suite will come with a matching shower tray and cubicle as an optional extra. If you are not buying a new suite, then separate cubicles, trays and screens are readily available.

Shower cubicles

These are designed to fit particular sizes and shapes of shower tray. The structure of a shower cubicle usually relies on tiled area of the bathroom walls making up one or more of its sides. We use cement boards or Gyproc moisture resistant plasterboard on the walls that will be tiled inside a cubicle. Some manufacturers make all-in-one cubicles with a built-in shower. Alternatively, a walk-in shower can be created. Walk-in showers are a type of shower enclosures that fits into large bathrooms. A “drying area” separates the entrance and the shower, making a door curtain unnecessary. The walk-in shower it is fitted in the same way to a standard tray and cubicle. When fitting one, we are using plasterboard and cement boards for the internal walls of the shower. This provides the best possible surface for tiling and gives a fully waterproof finish (glass wall can be build too, instead of the ordinary stud walls).

Shower Trays

Acrylic, resin and ceramic shower trays are available. We usually install solid resin and ceramic trays on a bed of mortar, by doing this, a section of the flooring will be removed to accommodate the trap under the solid tray. But sometimes it is impossible, and when it is we build the tray up on a plinth or install an acrylic shower tray instead. Acrylic trays usually have adjustable legs and side panels, similar to a bath. They sit higher off the floor than solid trays, which means waste connection is easy, and removing sections of the floor is rarely necessary.

Choosing the right showers

There are several different of shower and it is critical that you choose one for your plumbing system. If you tank-feed hot water storage cylinder or a combination boiler we can fit a mixer shower for you. If you don’t have a cylinder, or if it does not store enough water, then you might go for an electrical shower. The power of both mixer and electrical showers can be boosted with a pump, but only if they are fed from a water storage tank.

Mixer Showers

These use a mixer valve to combine hot and cold water to the temperature required. Mixers need hot water to be red from a storage cylinder or a combination boiler.

Thermostatic mixer showers have a more sophisticated valve that remains set at the required temperature when you turn the water on and off, and prevents temperature fluctuation. Many thermostatic mixer showers have an automatic shut off if hot or cold supplies fail, and on some models you can set a maximum temperature.

Electric showers

These are fed from the cold-water supply – either from a tank or from mains. The water is heated to the temperature required within the wall-mounted unit of the shower. Flow is dependent on mains pressure and on the power of the shower installed – more power will heat water quickly and allow it to pass through the system faster.

Pumps

A pump can only be fit your shower is fed from a tank. Pumped showers are known as “power showers”. Most tanks are large enough to feed one pump, but in households with more than one pumped shower, a larger or second cistern may be required. When we fit a pump, the installation requires a connection to the electrical supply, which we make it via a double-pole isolating switch.

Plumbing

By edenrenovations / Bathroom Fitters / Comments Off

When simply replacing existing fittings with new ones in the same position usually requires very little plumbing work. However, if you want to move fittings, or are planning a new bathroom, consider carefully if you are confident with the amount of work for the plumbing involved. The different types of supply and waste pipes and the systems and techniques for routing and joining them requires professional skills and more money.

The simplest option when planning a new bathroom is to position the new fittings in the same place as the old ones. In this way plumbing is kept to a minimum. If each item is already plumbed in with isolating valves and flexible connector pipes, we can easily work on each in turn. If there is no isolating valves, then we need to shut off the water at the nearest gate valve, or drain down the entire system if there is no other option.

When repositioning a toilet, re-routing its waste pipe is complex and in many cases may not be possible. An option is to fit a macerator behind the toilet pan. This can pump waste through small pipes to join the main stack and makes it possible to fit a toilet almost anywhere.

Showers may need to take their water supply directly from a tank or the mains, rather than from a nearby supply pipe. This helps maintain pressure and reduces temperature fluctuations. Repositioning other fittings requires teeing off the water supply pipes and running waste pipes to the new position.

Bathroom Planning

By edenrenovations / Bathroom Fitters / Comments Off

When planning any bathroom you should think about what style you prefer, and what will make best of the space available. We can help you replace the old fittings which involves a lot of work as new layouts or bathrooms will certainly provide more demanding tasks of routing supply and pipework.

Your initial bathroom design should focus on making the best use of the space available. Then consider which services would need re-routing for the new design. Decide whether you are going to tile the walls, change the floor surface, and if you will update heating and ventilation. If you are planning to replace the whole bathroom, we will remove all the old fittings and re-route the plumbing and wiring before fitting the new bathroom.

Types of Bathroom Layout

Most homes have at least one “standard” bathroom fitted with a toiled, basin, and bath. Optional extras to this basic suite include a shower, either in a separate cubicle or above the bath, and possibly a bidet. And extra basin is a popular choice in a bathroom used by lots of people.

1) Fitted bathrooms

Like a standard bathroom, fitted bathrooms have a full suite of fittings. The difference is that they are totally or partially housed in units, and the final design has matching built-in storage and worktops around part of the room. If you are considering this type of bathroom, the manufacturer will help you with the layout, if not, we will help you.

2) En suite bathrooms

Because of the proximity of the bathrooms, noise is an issue. Often these have no windows so an extractor fan with a timer is essential – in-line fans are especially quite. The noise of a toilet cistern refilling can be reduces by fitting a quite, modern inlet valve.

3) Cloakrooms

Space-saving designs can fit into a smaller area than standard fittings. These includes narrow cisterns, known as “slimline” cisterns, and toilets and basins designed to fit into corners. A cloakroom should have a window that opens or an extractor fan.

4) Wet rooms

These are bathrooms that include a shower with no enclosure – the water runs away through a drain in the floor. The whole room has to be fully waterproofed.
