“Walk-in shower replaced our old over-bath. Photos before, after, every step. Quote held to the penny. Best tradesperson we've had in this house.”

From the plumber
“One trade, one quote, one handover. The bathroom you wanted, without three companies blaming each other.”
A bathroom install touches plumbing, electrics, tiling, joinery. I project-manage all of it. You speak to me, I speak to my subs (people I've worked with for years), and you get the bathroom you specified, when I said.

No. 02On the van
Ready before
I pull up.
Staged kit
Full bathroom on the van
Day-1 strip kit, day-2 first-fix, day-3 second-fix — staged so nothing's missing mid-job.
First-fix kit
Copper + soldering on board
Bathroom first-fix gets the same care as a kitchen boiler swap. Proper joints, proper test.
Staged pay
Pay at milestones
Quote in, deposit at start, balance at handover. No huge upfront, no surprise variations.
No. 03What you get
The full picture.
Full bathroom renovations — tiles to taps, one trade managing the whole job. I sub-contract the tiling and electrics to people I've worked with for years, but the plumbing, project management and final sign-off is all me. Most bathrooms are £4,995-£9,995 depending on spec. Staged payments. Written contract before we start.
- Detailed in-person survey + written quote (free)
- Single point of contact — me, not three trades arguing
- Spec list with you (suite, taps, tiles, lighting) before order
- Skip + protection of the rest of the house during the strip-out
- Staged payments — never more than 30% upfront
No. 04What it looks like
Done right.
In three frames.
Day 2
Pipework rough-in
Hot, cold, waste — set out before tiles go anywhere near the wall. The bit that matters.
Finished
Walk-in shower, Northampton

“Full bathroom — 7 days, in on time, out on time. Vince managed the tiler too. One contact, one invoice, no excuses about other trades.”
★★★★★
“Eight rentals on the plan. Tenant water issues never reach me anymore — Vince handles them directly, sends me a digest at the end of every month. Worth every penny.”

No. 10Questions
Asked & answered.
01How quickly can you get to me?
Booked by 9am, in your home by 1pm. Booked by 12pm, before close of business. Or the call-out's on me.
02Do you charge for quotes?
Diagnostic call-out is £85, credited to the job if you book me. Big jobs (boiler installs, bathrooms): quote is free.
03Are you WaterSafe approved?
Yes. Verify on watersafe.org.uk — WaterSafe is the UK's approved plumber scheme, the standard most plumbers skip. I also hold G3 Unvented certification for pressurised hot water cylinders.
04What if the job costs more than the quote?
It doesn't. The price I tell you is the price you pay. If it turns out bigger than I quoted, that's on me — written into the receipt.
05What if you can't fix it on the first visit?
Next visit is free AND I credit £50 to your account. No questions, no quibbles.
06Are you insured?
Yes — £2 million public liability. Full cover on every job. Certificate available on request.
