If you’re thinking about redoing your bathroom, the best thing you can do is plan it properly. It doesn’t have to be stressful, but it helps to know what’s involved before you start. Whether you’re in a townhouse in Ipswich or a cottage out in the sticks, a bit of prep goes a long way.
When getting a bathroom renovation, it’s crucial to know exactly what you’re after before beginning work. Are you looking for more space, better storage places, or simply want to freshen up your existing space?
If you’re renovating a family bathroom, going for something hard-wearing and practical would be more beneficial, with more storage and long-lasting tiles. If you are looking to renovate an en-suite, make sure it still matches the bedroom’s feel.
Decide what you can afford early on. Bathroom costs vary a lot depending on what you choose, so get a rough idea first. It is also worth noting that some things may need to be changed or fixed during the renovation, so we recommend keeping a bit extra to the side. You never know when something will pop up, and it’s best to be prepared.
The layout of your bathroom can make or break the renovation. In some of the older houses across Suffolk, it’s not uncommon for space to be a luxury, so you may need to be a little clever on where you would like, or need, things to go. Try not to cram too much into the room, as a simple layout, if possible, works out best.
You want new tiles, taps, lights, and so much more. There is so much to choose from when it comes to a renovation, and we aim to make the process simple and enjoyable, as well as help you get what you’re after.
You can get nice things from local suppliers too, and it’s good to support local businesses when you can.

We have over 40 years of experience, and have completed over 50,000 installations, from kitchens to bathrooms, which includes plumbing, hot water systems, and other minor building work carried out by our own registered engineers, carpenters, and plumbers.
Step 6: Get Ready Before Work Starts
Once your date’s booked, clear the space and think about where the team will need access.
If parking’s tight or you’ve got shared driveways, give your neighbours a heads-up. It’ll make things easier all round.
