For a home in Havering, London, include the neighbourhood and postcode. Describe the floor level, delivery route and any shared services before a survey is booked. You decide whether any quotation suits your plans.

A new suite on the existing connection routes

Every fitting and finish is renewed, but the bath, basin and WC stay where they are, so sound existing waste and supply routes may be reused after inspection.

Where the existing pipework is sound, reusing it keeps the floor largely intact and cuts days off the programme. Where it is not, the fitter should say so at the survey rather than on the day.

Is a replacement enough?

Tell the fitters which of these apply.

• The layout works, but the suite is dated, chipped or stained.
• The basin, WC or bath is cracked.
• Tiles are firmly fixed but in a style you want to change.
• A shower over the bath leaks past the screen.
• You want a clean, neutral bathroom before selling or letting.

Getting your Havering enquiry right

Measure the bath recess wall to wall and note whether the basin is on a pedestal or in a vanity unit. Say whether the WC waste goes out through the back wall or down through the floor.

Describe the current floor covering and the one you would prefer. Mention whether you would like a shower tray in place of the bath.

How a replacement usually runs

1. Confirm measurements and connections, then order the suite and tiles.
2. Isolate the supply, take out the old fittings and clear the walls and floor.
3. Repair any damaged boards and renew pipework that is not fit to reuse.
4. Install the bath or shower tray and complete the tiling.
5. Fit the basin, WC, taps and screen, lay the floor, seal and test.

Most replacements take 5–8 working days. Ordering times for tiles and screens can add to the lead time before work begins.

Avoiding surprises when the old fittings come out

The nominal bath size is only a starting point. Allow for tile thickness, wall squareness, tap access and the path through the property. A new WC also needs its pan outlet and cistern position checked against the existing connection.

Existing routes can be reused only where their condition and positions suit the new fittings. Isolation valves, traps and short supply sections may need renewing. The fitter should distinguish these adjustments from a full reroute in the quotation.

A replacement suite should not hide a weak or damp substrate. Price any patch boarding, wet-area waterproofing and floor repairs clearly. At completion, check wastes, toilet flush, screen seals and bath drainage before the protection is removed.

Check these points in the written scope before work starts.

• Check the bath recess, WC outlet and basin fixing positions before ordering.
• Inspect retained wastes and renew accessible worn traps or isolation valves as agreed.
• Protect the new bath during tiling and leave maintenance access to its connections.

What drives the price in Havering

Use a starting budget range of £5,500–£10,500 for removal, a new standard or mid-range suite, tiling and labour. Your final price depends on the specification and conditions the fitter finds. The amount of tiling and the specification of the taps, screen and furniture make the biggest difference.

Rotten boards under the old bath, a new concealed shower valve or a replacement extractor add to the base price. Check whether waste removal is included.

Regulations that can apply

Like-for-like replacement does not normally need planning permission or building control approval. Electrical changes can be notifiable under Approved Document P, and new taps and valves should meet the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999.

If you own a flat, read your lease first. Some London leases require carpet or acoustic underlay in flats above others.

Skip licences and listed building questions go to Havering Council. Confirm who removes the waste before work starts.

London Bathroom Fitters passes enquiries to independent bathroom businesses and is not a contractor itself. We do not survey, supply or fit bathrooms, and the fitters who reply are not our staff. Firms are asked for proof of insurance and for references when they sign up, and any agreement for the work is made between you and the fitter you pick.
