A bathroom installation replaces your old suite with new sanitaryware, a bath or shower, tiling and fittings, including the plumbing, electrics, ventilation and waterproofing needed for a complete, watertight room.
For a homeowner in Deeside, planning a new bathroom tends to begin with two questions: what will it cost, and how disruptive will it be? Our guide range is £4,600–£11,000 including VAT, and a typical job runs to 1–2 weeks per bathroom. Both numbers firm up once we have seen the property, measured up and agreed exactly what is included.

What are homes like around Deeside?
Wrexham has Victorian terraces in red Ruabon brick, alongside interwar and post-war estates. The north coast resorts of Rhyl, Prestatyn and Colwyn Bay have Victorian villas, guest-house terraces and bungalows, while Denbighshire and Flintshire villages use local stone under Welsh slate roofs.
Terraces suit loft conversions and rear extensions, and many need repointing and roof work. Coastal bungalows commonly take loft rooms and window renewal, and stone cottages need lime-based repairs.
Knowing the typical building types in Clwyd helps, but a survey of your own home in Deeside is what decides the right approach to a new bathroom.

How does the job run?
We look at the job
First, someone visits your home in Deeside to see the space, take measurements and note anything that could affect the work, such as access or the condition of what is there. There is no charge for this visit.

You get the price in writing, itemised so you can see where the money goes. As long as the specification stays the same, that is the price you pay for a new bathroom.
Booking the work
Before anyone starts, we confirm the programme in writing, check whether consents are required and arrange deliveries. If a skip or scaffolding on the road needs a permit, we apply for it.
On site to finish
Our trades complete a new bathroom while your point of contact keeps you updated. When everything is finished, we clear the site, take away waste and go through the result with you before handover.
What you can expect from us
Frequently asked questions
What ventilation does a bathroom need?
A bathroom needs mechanical ventilation, usually an extractor fan, to remove steam and help prevent condensation and mould. Building regulations set minimum extraction rates for new or refitted bathrooms. A fan linked to the light with an overrun timer, or one with a humidity sensor, works well. Ducting should vent outside by the shortest practical route. We include a suitable fan in every bathroom quote.
Can I stay at home during the work?
In most cases, yes. Most people can live at home throughout, and we plan the work to keep disruption down by protecting floors, agreeing working hours and keeping access routes clear. Bigger jobs affecting kitchens, bathrooms or heating may mean a short spell with reduced facilities, and we talk this through with you at the survey.
Is a wet room right for my home?
A wet room is a fully waterproofed room with a shower area that drains through the floor, with no tray or step. It suits accessible bathrooms and modern designs, and makes cleaning easy. It needs a floor with enough depth for a gentle fall to the drain, and careful tanking of the whole room. Timber floors often need strengthening. We check suitability at the survey.
Which tiles are easiest to keep clean?
Large-format porcelain tiles are usually easiest to keep clean, because there are fewer grout lines to collect dirt and porcelain absorbs very little water. Glossy tiles show water marks more than matt ones, while textured floor tiles give better grip. Grout colour matters too: mid-grey hides staining better than white. We can suggest anti-slip ratings and grout options that suit how you use the room.
Do you cover Hawarden, Buckley and Flint?
