Bathroom and shower refits built on proper preparation, so the tiles stay on and the water stays where it should.

Most bathrooms that fail do it behind the tiles. Tiles go straight onto old plaster, the shower tray is bedded badly, a little water gets in, and two years later the grout is black and the wall is soft. Matt fits bathrooms in Trowbridge and the surrounding towns the other way round: preparation first, finish second.

That means stripping back to sound walls, framing out anything that is not square, and using waterproof tile backer boards in the wet areas before any tile goes on. It takes longer on day one, and it is why the job lasts.

Matt does the tiling, flooring and finishing himself. Where the room needs new plumbing runs, that part is done by trusted, suitably qualified partners, organised by Matt so you are not juggling trades.

A shower refit, step by step

The shower refit in the gallery shows how it is done. The old tiles and wet walls were stripped right back. The wall was framed out square in timber. Waterproof backer boards went on. Only then were the tray, tiles, thermostatic shower and enclosure fitted.

Skipping any of those steps saves a day and costs a bathroom. If you are comparing quotes, ask each fitter what goes behind the tiles in the shower area. The answer tells you most of what you need to know.

More than the bathroom

Bathroom work often comes with a hallway, landing or bedroom that needs freshening up at the same time. Matt also takes on decorating and kitchen fitting, so you can get one quote for the lot.

Matt did a fantastic job of levelling my porch floor then tiled it and put skirting around also put in a window cill. He was very professional, polite and cleaned up after himself. I would highly recommend him and will undoubtedly be using him again for any future work I need doing. Great maticulous work.

Common questions

Do you fit showers as well as full bathrooms?

Yes. A shower refit is one of the most common jobs, from the tray and enclosure to tiling the whole wet area.

What do you put behind the tiles?

In wet areas the walls are boarded with waterproof tile backer boards, framed out square where needed. That is what stops water getting into the wall.

Can I supply my own bathroom suite?

Yes. Matt will fit a suite you have bought, or talk through options if you have not chosen one.

Who does the plumbing?

New plumbing runs are carried out by trusted, suitably qualified partners, organised by Matt as part of the job.
