Bathroom installation, week by week
A bathroom install feels chaotic if nobody has said what “day three” is for. It is a sequence. Strip, make sound, plumb, finish, cure, hand over.
A typical order
- —Protect the route through the house
- —Strip the old suite and get the waste off site
- —Check the floor, the walls and anything the survey flagged
- —First-fix pipework and electrics
- —Board or tank, then panels or tiles
- —Sanitaryware, brassware, ceiling and light
- —Silicone, a clean-down, and a handover that includes when you can shower
What we need from you
The room emptied of bottles and towels, a decision that stays decided, and someone who can answer a question if a joist is not where the plan hoped. Changes after the panels are cut are how programmes slip.

Quick answers
Will I have a toilet during the work?+
If it is your only bathroom, there will be periods with no toilet on that stack. We tell you which days. Some houses have a second WC. Do not assume.
How long is a panelled bathroom on site?+
Often around a working week for a straightforward room. Tiled bathrooms are commonly one to two weeks. Layout changes and drying times add days. Your programme is written for your room.
Can I stay in the house?+
Usually, yes. It is dusty and the water may be off at points. If you would rather be away for the noisiest day, we will say which day that is.
