The Service
One Bracknell-based team. 15+ years of Berkshire pipework, drainage and installation work behind every job. Same-day service guaranteed across the region.
What it covers
A full bathroom installation is everything from removing the existing suite and stripping back to brick or stud, through first-fix plumbing and electrics, plastering or boarding, full waterproofing, wall and floor tiling, sanitaryware install, second-fix plumbing and electrics, sealing, decoration and final clean.
Who it's for
Homeowners ready to replace a 20-year-old suite, landlords upgrading rental stock to push rent and reduce maintenance calls, and families planning loft conversions or extensions where a new bathroom is part of the brief.
When you need it
When fixtures are failing, when tiles are crazing or grout is permanently dirty, when the layout no longer works for the household, or when an upgrade will push property value (a well-fitted bathroom typically adds 4–6% to a Berkshire home).
Why professional matters
Bathrooms are the highest-risk room in a house. Hidden water damage from a poorly sealed shower tray can rot a ceiling below before you notice. Botched electrics in Zone 1 or Zone 2 are a Part P notifiable offence. Professional installation means proper tanking, properly bonded earth, properly graded tray falls and a result that holds up for fifteen years.
What Happens If You Wait
Every plumbing and drainage problem follows the same curve — cheap to fix early, painful to fix late. Here's what the wait actually costs.
A shower tray installed without proper tanking and a 2-degree fall leaks invisibly through grout for months. The first sign is a brown patch on the ceiling below — by then, joists are wet and you're rebuilding two rooms.
Builder-merchant own-brand sanitaryware looks the same on day one. Three years in, the chrome on the basin tap goes pitted, the close-coupled toilet flushes inconsistently and the shower thermostat drifts. A mid-range suite costs 20% more and lasts twice as long.
Wonky grout lines, lippage on large-format tiles, mitred corners that don't meet — these are the first things buyers notice. A bathroom that looks 'fitted by a mate' actively reduces sale price. Professional tiling pays for itself on resale.
Common Mistakes We See Weekly
Our Process
01
Free home visit. We measure, photograph, talk through how you use the room and design a layout that works for your household — not the catalogue's.
02
Itemised written quote covering labour, materials, sanitaryware, tiles and finishes. Realistic timeline with a clear start date and a realistic finish date.
03
Old suite carted away, walls and floor stripped, new plumbing routes installed in the right materials, electrics first-fixed under Part P. All hidden work photographed for your records.
04
Full SBR or membrane tanking in wet areas, decoupling matting on floors, properly graded tray falls, tiling start-to-finish, then sanitaryware fitted, sealed and tested.
05
Walk-round snag list, every item resolved, deep clean, paperwork including 12-month workmanship guarantee and registered manufacturer warranties.
Why It's Worth Doing Right
The same engineers do plumbing, tiling and second-fix. Nobody waiting on anybody else, no blame-shifting when something goes wrong.
We quote 7–14 days for most family bathrooms and hit it. No three-week jobs that turn into eight.
Wet areas tanked with a Class 1 membrane, not painted with one coat of SBR and hoped for the best. Twenty-year waterproofing, not two.
We don't fit own-brand budget suites unless you specifically ask. Standard spec is mid-range UK brands — Roca, Hansgrohe, Aqualisa, Mira, RAK.
Part F (ventilation), Part G (water), Part L (energy efficiency) and Part P (electrics) all handled. Notifications submitted where required.
If we hit something genuinely unforeseen (rotten joist, asbestos pad), we stop, photograph, agree and re-quote. We never invoice over a fixed price without a signed variation.
Technical Detail
A bathroom installation is fifteen distinct trades stitched together in a 4 square metre room. The way they're sequenced and the materials specified determine whether the result lasts 5 years or 25.
Local Knowledge
Bracknell-based, working daily across Wokingham, Maidenhead, Windsor, Ascot, Reading, Woodley, Woking and into West London. The right kit for Berkshire soil, Berkshire pipework and Berkshire weather.
Roca, Ideal Standard, Villeroy & Boch and Duravit for ceramics. Hansgrohe, Grohe, Vado and Bristan for brassware. Aqualisa and Mira for thermostatic showers. Geberit and Roca for concealed cisterns and wall-hung frames. We avoid unbranded own-label kit — the cost saving on day one becomes a callback on year three.
Wet areas are tanked with a Schlüter-Kerdi, Mapei Mapeguard or BAL Tank-it membrane system — not SBR paint. Tray hot-spots and pipe penetrations get sealed collars. Decoupling matting (Schlüter Ditra) goes under floor tiles to absorb subfloor movement. This is the difference between a bathroom that holds up for two decades and one that leaks at year four.
All walls battened and skimmed level before tiling — we won't tile onto a wall that's 6mm out and call it 'character'. Large-format tiles back-buttered and laid with anti-lippage clips. Mitred corners where the design calls for them, with diamond polish on the cut edge. Grout colour chosen with you, not assumed.
Part F-compliant extractor (minimum 15 l/s, ducted to atmosphere, not into a loft) on a humidistat or run-on timer. Zone 1 IP-rated fittings throughout. Supplementary equipotential bonding where the consumer unit and bathroom electrics call for it. All electrical work notified under Part P.
Family bathrooms prioritise durability and a tub. Ensuites prioritise compact layouts and reliable ventilation against the bedroom. Wet rooms require proper structural assessment (joist deflection, drainage falls), full tanking with a proven tray-former system (Schlüter Kerdi-Line, Wedi), and careful drainage routing — usually a 50mm trapped gulley to the soil stack. We do all three; the design and material specification differs significantly.
Questions
Still got a question we haven't answered? Phone the office and ask an engineer directly — no call centre, no script.
07949 996627A full family bathroom replacement (strip-out, mid-range suite, tiling, fitting, decoration) typically runs £6,500–£12,000 depending on layout changes, tile choice and sanitaryware spec. Ensuites are usually £4,500–£8,500. Wet rooms £8,000–£15,000. Every quote is itemised and fixed.
A like-for-like family bathroom: 7–10 working days. A layout change with moved soil: 10–14 days. A wet room with new drainage: 12–18 days. We give you the date the room is back in use, in writing, before we start.
Partly. We aim to have the toilet usable by end of day one if it's your only WC. Showering will be down for the duration of the install — many clients use a friend's, a gym, or we can rig a temporary outlet.
Either. We get trade pricing on most major brands and pass it on, or you can supply your own — we'll review the spec first and flag anything that won't fit the space or hit the flow rate.
We tile. The same team that does the plumbing does the tiling. No coordination gap, no blame-shifting if a sealant line fails.
Yes. New bathrooms in previously non-bathroom spaces (loft conversions, extensions) need notification. We handle it.
12 months on all workmanship — fittings, seals, tiling, plumbing connections. Manufacturer warranties on sanitaryware (typically 5–25 years) are registered in your name. If anything moves, leaks or fails within the workmanship period, we come back and fix it free.
Bank transfer or card on completion for one-day jobs. Larger installs run on a clear schedule — deposit to secure the slot and order materials, a stage payment when first fix is complete, and the balance on sign-off. No cash-only nonsense, no pressure to pay before the work is signed off.
Yes. Overflow Plumbing & Drainage Ltd (Company No. 12427151) carries full public liability and employers' liability insurance. Certificates are sent across with your quote on request — landlords and letting agents usually want them for their files.
Yes — Overflow is based in Bracknell (RG12) and we run bathroom installation work daily across Bracknell, Wokingham, Maidenhead, Windsor, Ascot, Reading, Woodley, Woking and into West London. If you're inside the M25/M4 corridor, you're in our patch. Call 07949 996627 and we'll confirm an arrival window on the call.
