Bathroom Installations

A bathroom installation from LAB Plumbing & Heating typically costs £3,000 to £5,000 and usually takes around 7 days of labour, depending on the size, layout and complexity of the room. We cover Chester-le-Street, Durham, Newcastle and the North East. We handle the strip-out, all plumbing and the fitting of your new suite, and manage our own subcontractors for tiling, plastering, electrics and joinery or flooring.

A new bathroom should look great and work perfectly for years. We fit complete bathrooms and shower rooms for homeowners across Chester-le-Street, Durham, Newcastle, Gateshead and Sunderland, from small cloakrooms to full family bathrooms.

We take care of the whole job: stripping out the old room, all the plumbing and pipework, fitting the bath or shower, vanity unit, toilet and radiator, and managing the other trades through our own trusted subcontractors for tiling, plastering, electrics and joinery or flooring. You have one point of contact from start to finish. Decorating is not included, so the finished room is left ready for you or your decorator.

Most refurbishments take around 7 days of labour, depending on the size, layout and complexity of the room. Typical prices are £3,000 to £5,000, and you get a clear scope and price before any work begins.

Customers often mention how neat the work is and how well Lewis communicates throughout. Your home is treated with care and respect, and the finished room is one we are proud to hand over.
