BOTH IN ONE JOB
Two rooms, one job
Why renovate kitchen and bathroom together?
They’re the two rooms with the most services in the house and, as it happens, the two that age fastest. Doing them together has an advantage that isn’t only about convenience: they share the same plumbing network and the same trades, so the plumber, the tiler and the electrician come once instead of twice. That means fewer visits, fewer days of work overall, one lot of waste removal and a combined quote that almost always beats the sum of the two renovations done separately. And above all: one period of disruption at home instead of two, which is what you really appreciate.
Every trade, two rooms
What the kitchen and bathroom renovation includes
The same trades working in both rooms, coordinated so nobody makes the journey or the mess twice.
Plumbing and wastes
We renew the whole network for both rooms in one go: pipework, wastes and water points.
Electrics and lighting
Consumer unit, sockets and light points to regulations in kitchen and bathroom, with task lighting where it's needed.
Wall and floor tiling
Ceramic tiles, porcelain or microcement in both rooms, with a shared look if that's what you want.
Units and worktop
Kitchen units, worktop and bathroom vanity fitted by the same team within the same job.
Sanitaryware and appliances
Toilet, shower tray, screen and taps, plus the kitchen appliances.
Finishes and making good
Painting, sealing and a final check of both rooms before handover.
Kitchen and bathroom together, or separately?
If both rooms are asking for a renovation, this is the decision that moves the most money and the most disruption. Our experience points fairly clearly one way, but it depends on where you are.
One now and the other later on.
- OutlaySpread over time, easier to absorb.
- TradesEach trade comes twice, on two separate jobs.
- Days of workThe two periods add up, with two set-ups and clear-downs.
- DisruptionTwo spells of dust and living alongside the work.
- When it suitsIf the budget rules or one of the two is holding up well.
One single job for both rooms.
- OutlayMore up front, but a better combined price.
- TradesEach trade comes once and works in both rooms.
- Days of workFewer days overall: tasks and drying times overlap.
- DisruptionOne period of work and one lot of waste removal.
- When it suitsIf both are dated or you've just bought the property.
Not sure? We'll look at it on a visit, explain it without the jargon and you decide with all the information. At no obligation.
And if you'd rather go step by step
Just the kitchen, or just the bathroom?
Recommending they’re done together doesn’t mean it’s the only option. If only one is urgent, we have pages dedicated to kitchen renovation and bathroom renovation, with the full detail on each. And if what you’re after is a fast change with no rubble, we also do the no-building-work versions: kitchen makeover and bathroom makeover, which renew the look without touching the services. On the visit we’ll tell you honestly what makes sense in your case, even if it’s the smaller option.
A quote made for you
How much does renovating a kitchen and bathroom cost?
Doing them together means some costs are shared, and that shows. This is what matters most:
That’s why we don’t publish fixed rates: every case is different and we’d rather see it before giving a figure. Write or call us and we’ll arrange a no-obligation visit, with a detailed quote broken down line by line, free of charge.
How we run kitchen and bathroom together
Two rooms, one well-coordinated job. This is how we work.
Visit and measuring up
We measure both rooms, check the plumbing and the wiring and listen to what you want to change. No obligation and no cost.
Proposal and combined quote
We choose materials and units with real samples and you get a single quote, itemised by room and by line.
Coordinated work
Each trade works in both rooms on the same visit, overlapping tasks and drying times to shorten the total.
Handing over both rooms
We go through kitchen and bathroom with you, check everything works and hand over clean and ready to use.
Kitchens and bathrooms: before and after
This is what the change looks like on a kitchen and bathroom renovation. These examples show the kind of result we achieve; once we have photos of your own projects, we’ll add them here.
Frequently asked questions about kitchen and bathroom renovations
Here are the questions we get asked most before starting. If you still have one, write to us and we’ll help, at no obligation.
It depends on the size of each room, the state of the services and above all on the units and sanitaryware you choose. Doing both at once usually beats the sum of two separate jobs, because trades and visits are shared. We look at it on a visit and give you a combined, itemised quote.
Almost always yes, and not because of a sales discount: it’s that the plumber, the electrician and the tiler come once instead of twice, the waste removal is handled together and many drying times overlap. The whole job takes fewer days than the two done separately.
Two to four weeks in most cases, depending on the size of the rooms and the lead times on the kitchen units. Done separately they’d add up to considerably more overall. The quote gives you firm start and handover dates.
Not continuously. Water shut-offs are concentrated into specific days and we let you know in advance. We plan the work so the rest of the house stays liveable, and if you only have one bathroom, we find a way to keep the time without it to a minimum.
You can, and it looks very good when it’s done with judgement: repeating the same floor or a shared palette of finishes gives the home continuity. You can also make them completely different. On the visit we show you samples and decide together.
No problem: we have specific pages for kitchen renovation and bathroom renovation, with the full detail. We’ll tell you honestly whether it’s worth waiting and doing them together or whether your case calls for starting with one now.
If the layout isn’t changing, a minor works notification is the usual route. If sanitaryware is moved, soil pipes are touched or openings formed, a licence with a design may be required. We’ll advise you on what your case needs and which procedure applies in your municipality.
Yes, when the services are in good shape and you only want a change of look: finishes over the existing tiling, new doors on the kitchen units and new sanitaryware and taps. We have pages dedicated to kitchen makeovers and bathroom makeovers.
