A bathroom renovation is one of the best investments you can make in your home. A well-designed bathroom adds value to your property, makes your daily routine more enjoyable, and lasts for years. But it's also a project that can go seriously wrong if it's not planned and managed properly. Here's what to expect when you renovate your bathroom with Tami Plumbing in Nottingham.
The First Visit
Everything starts with a visit to your home. We'll measure the room, check the existing plumbing and drainage, look at the water pressure, and discuss what you want. Do you want a shower over the bath, a separate walk-in shower, or both? Freestanding bath or built-in? Wall-hung toilet or standard? These choices affect the layout, the plumbing, and the cost. We'll also check for any hidden issues like damp, poor ventilation, or outdated pipework that might need addressing.
The Quote
After the visit, you'll get a detailed written quote covering everything: removal of the old bathroom, plumbing, tiling, flooring, fixtures, heated towel rails, mirrors, and finishing touches. No surprises halfway through. The quote is free, and there's absolutely no obligation. We itemise everything so you can see exactly where your money is going.
The Work
Most bathroom renovations take 5-7 working days. Day one is stripping out the old bathroom and disposing of everything responsibly. Days two and three are plumbing first fix - moving pipes, fitting waste runs, and getting everything in position behind the walls. Then comes plastering and waterproofing, followed by tiling, then the second fix: fitting the suite, connecting everything, and installing accessories like towel rails, LED mirrors, and shower screens. We test everything thoroughly before we hand the room back to you.
Choosing Materials
You don't need to spend a fortune to get a great-looking bathroom. We can advise on where it's worth investing (good tiles, quality taps, a decent shower valve) and where you can save money without compromising on quality. We've fitted everything from budget-friendly suites to high-end designer bathrooms across Nottingham, and the quality of the finish is the same regardless of the price bracket. Check our gallery for recent examples.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
The biggest mistake people make is choosing style over function. A beautiful bathroom that doesn't drain properly or has taps that splash water over the floor isn't a good bathroom. Other common issues include inadequate ventilation leading to mould, choosing tiles that look great but are dangerously slippery when wet, and not planning enough storage. Make sure your plumber understands both the plumbing and the design.
