Our 8-Step Process
Bathroom 104 follows a clear, structured process for every bathroom installation. From your initial free consultation through to final handover, our 8-step process ensures your project is completed on time, on budget, and to the highest standard.
We begin with a detailed site visit to fully understand your space, requirements, and overall vision. During this stage, we take accurate measurements, assess existing plumbing and structural elements, and talk through your ideas to ensure we're aligned from the outset. This initial consultation allows us to identify any potential challenges early and offer practical solutions tailored to your property.
Following the visit, we provide a clear and comprehensive quote outlining all aspects of the work involved. We believe in complete transparency, so everything is broken down in a way that's easy to understand, with no hidden costs. This gives you confidence in both the process and the investment before moving forward.
Once approved, we move into the design phase, where your ideas start to take shape. We work closely with you to plan the layout, ensuring the space is both functional and visually appealing. Every detail is considered, from positioning of fixtures to maximising storage and usability.
We also guide you through selecting materials, finishes, and fittings that suit your style and budget. Whether you're aiming for a modern, traditional, or bespoke look, the design process ensures everything is cohesive and tailored specifically to you.
At the start of the installation, we carefully remove your existing bathroom suite, tiles, and any outdated fixtures. This process is carried out methodically to minimise disruption and avoid unnecessary damage to surrounding areas. We take care to protect your home throughout.
All waste materials are responsibly removed and disposed of, leaving the space clean and ready for the next stage. By properly stripping everything back, we ensure a fresh starting point for a high-quality installation.
Next, we install or update all the pipework and waste systems your new layout requires, positioning water supplies and drainage precisely where they need to be. Every joint is fitted in line with current building regulations and water industry standards, with efficiency and longevity built in from the start.
Careful planning at this stage ensures optimal water pressure, reliable drainage, and smooth day-to-day functionality. By getting the groundwork right now, we create a robust system that will support your bathroom faultlessly for years to come.
With the pipework in place, we move on to the mid-fix stage — installing all the structural elements that will sit behind the finished walls. This includes the bath (unless it's a freestanding model), the shower tray, and any concealed cisterns or wall-hung toilet frames.
Positioning and levelling these fittings now ensures everything aligns perfectly once the walls and floors are tiled, leaving no awkward gaps or compromises in the final finish.
With the mid-fix fittings in place, we prepare every wall and floor surface to create a strong, level base ready for tiling. This may involve repairing damaged plaster, levelling uneven floors, or installing tile backer boards and waterproof membranes where required.
Proper preparation is essential to the longevity of your bathroom. Making sure every surface is structurally sound and correctly aligned at this stage prevents problems later and guarantees a professional, long-lasting finish.
Tiling and flooring is where your bathroom really begins to take shape, bringing texture, colour, and character to the space. Whether you've chosen wall tiles, floor tiles, or a combination of finishes, each surface is laid by hand with meticulous attention to alignment, spacing, and grouting.
Precise sealing ensures a fully water-resistant finish that will stay looking pristine for years to come. This stage plays a defining role in both the aesthetic and the everyday practicality of your bathroom.
With the tiling complete, we move on to the final installation stage, fitting your chosen freestanding baths, shower enclosures, toilets, basins, vanity units, and bespoke worktops. Taps and water outlets are connected to complete the plumbing, and heated towel radiators are positioned for optimal heat distribution and linked into your heating system.
Every fixture is securely mounted, sealed, and thoroughly tested for leaks and reliable performance. To complete the room, we install any finishing carpentry — panels, shelving, and bespoke trims — along with mirrors, accessories, and the final details that bring your new bathroom together as a cohesive, polished whole, ready for you to enjoy.
