Vince Finlay doing bathrooms work in Northampton

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.

Ready before
I pull up.

Full bathroom on the van

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.

Copper + soldering on board

First-fix kit

Copper + soldering on board

Bathroom first-fix gets the same care as a kitchen boiler swap. Proper joints, proper test.

Pay at milestones

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 installs are £4,995-£14,995 depending on room size and 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

Finlays Plumbing have done a couple of jobs for me now (and a bathroom refurbishment in the pipeline). He will always be my go to plumber until he retires! This is because he really does go above and beyond on EVERY job. He takes the time to explain what needs to be done and why.

Vince rang me back shortly after I contacted him and we arranged for his visit the following day. I had several issues in both my bathroom and kitchen which Vince solved within a few hours. He kept me informed of his progress throughout his work.

I recently moved into a property that had no shower, with a family of 5 and a child with skin condition. Vince was the first person to respond within minutes. He was polite, professional, explained pros and cons, and gave me a price straight away. Done to perfection.

Had already consulted three plumbers re low hot water pressure without success — mentioned it to Finlay when he was changing a toilet seat, and he solved the problem for us. He's done two other jobs since — first class every time, and very reasonable prices.

No. 11Questions

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 £50, 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.
