Bathroom Installation in Thurrock | Professional Bathroom Fitters
Thurrock Kitchens and Bathrooms is a bathroom installation and fitting company installing new bathrooms, en suites, walk-in showers and wet rooms across Thurrock, from Grays and Tilbury to Stanford-le-Hope and South Ockendon. Every job is carried out by our own fitters, with a single project manager running the work from the first survey to the final bead of silicone. Older homes here often hide tired pipework and uneven floors behind the tiles, so we check what's underneath before anything new goes in.
We fit Crosswater showers and brassware, Roca and Ideal Standard sanitaryware, low-profile stone resin trays and Schluter-KERDI or Wedi waterproofing in wet zones. Extractor fans are sized to the 15 litres per second that Part F requires, and NICEIC approved electricians certify bathroom electrics under Part P and BS 7671. Most standard installations take 7 to 14 working days, and we tell you up front which days you'll be without a working toilet or shower. You get a written, itemised quote before work starts, and our workmanship guarantee sits alongside the manufacturer warranties on every product.

Bathroom Installation Services in Thurrock
Complete Bathroom Installation
Our complete bathroom installation service covers everything needed to fit a new bathroom, including plumbing, electrical work, tiling and sanitaryware. We take care of the practical details that can easily be overlooked, such as positioning pipework, preparing walls and floors, and making sure ventilation is suitable for the room. In older Thurrock properties, we may also need to address ageing plumbing or uneven surfaces before fitting new fixtures. Getting these details right helps prevent problems with leaks, damp and poorly fitted fittings once the bathroom is in regular use.
Bespoke Bathroom Installation
Bespoke bathroom installation gives us more flexibility when working with unusual room dimensions, awkward corners or a layout that doesn't make good use of the available space. Rather than relying on standard fixture positions, we look at how the bathroom is used and where baths, showers, basins and storage can sit comfortably. Wall-hung sanitaryware, recessed shelving and carefully positioned pipework can help free up floor space without making the room feel cramped. We also consider access for future maintenance, particularly where plumbing needs to be concealed behind fitted units or tiled walls.
Bathroom Renovation and Replacement
A bathroom renovation and replacement doesn't always require changing the entire layout, especially when the existing plumbing is in good condition. Thurrock Kitchens and Bathrooms can remove outdated baths, basins, toilets and wall coverings while keeping useful parts of the original arrangement, which can reduce unnecessary disruption. Once the old fittings are removed, we check for damaged surfaces, leaking connections and signs of moisture that may have been hidden behind tiles or panels. This gives us a chance to deal with underlying issues before installing replacement sanitaryware, fresh tiling and updated fixtures.
Walk-In Shower Installation
Walk-in shower installation is a practical option for bathrooms where a traditional shower enclosure feels restrictive or a bath is rarely used. We pay particular attention to the shower tray, waste position and water containment, as these affect how well the shower works every day. Low-profile trays can make entry easier, while fixed glass panels provide an open feel without requiring a hinged door. We can also fit Crosswater shower controls and suitable wall finishes, taking care to position everything within comfortable reach and reduce water escaping onto the bathroom floor.
Wet Room Installation
Wet room installation requires careful preparation because the shower water drains directly through the floor rather than into a raised tray. Before tiling begins, we assess the floor structure, drainage route and available depth to establish how the correct fall towards the waste can be achieved. Waterproofing is especially important, so we use appropriate systems such as Schluter KERDI membranes or Wedi shower boards to protect vulnerable surfaces. Properly formed floor gradients and sealed junctions help control water movement, making the room easier to clean and reducing the risk of moisture reaching the surrounding structure.
Why Choose Us for Bathroom Installation in Thurrock?
Thurrock Kitchens and Bathrooms fits bathrooms built to cope with daily steam and splashes, not just to look good on handover day. Here is how each job runs:
- Survey and planning: We check the room, existing pipework, ventilation and access, then agree the layout, fixtures, materials and written scope with you before any work begins.
- Preparation and removal: Our fitters protect floors and access routes, isolate the water and electrics, then strip out the old bathroom and inspect the exposed walls and floor.
- Plumbing and electrical work: We reroute pipework and drainage for the new layout, and our NICEIC approved electrician fits the lighting, extractor fan and any shaver socket or heated towel rail.
- Fitting and finishing: We install the suite, shower and tiles, pressure-test every connection and talk you through care and maintenance at handover.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bathroom Installation in Thurrock
What warranty comes with my new bathroom?
Every bathroom Thurrock Kitchens and Bathrooms fits comes with our written workmanship guarantee, alongside the manufacturer warranties on your suite, shower and brassware. We hand over all the paperwork and certificates when the job is finished, so you know exactly what is covered and for how long.
What is included in my bathroom installation quote?
Your quote is itemised, listing labour, materials, waste removal, plumbing, electrics and any building work. If we find hidden damage once the old bathroom is stripped out, we show you the problem and price the extra work in writing before carrying on.
Will I get a written installation schedule?
Yes. Before we start, you get a written schedule showing the start and finish dates, each stage of the work and the days you'll be without a working toilet or shower, so you know when to make other arrangements.
How long does it take to install a bathroom in Thurrock?
A standard installation often takes 7–14 working days, depending on the room, fittings and scope of work. Wet rooms, structural changes and delays with materials can extend the schedule.
What order does the installation follow?
We start with the strip-out and first-fix plumbing and electrics, followed by any boarding, tanking and floor work. Once the walls and floor are finished, we tile, fit and connect the sanitaryware, then test everything before handover.
Do you test and certify the plumbing and electrics?
Yes. We pressure-test the water supply and drainage, and our NICEIC approved electricians test and certify any notifiable electrical work under Part P. You receive an Electrical Installation Certificate and a Building Regulations compliance certificate at handover.
