Complete bathroom fitting & refurbishment

A bathroom refit is the kind of job that goes smoothly when the right people are involved, and badly when they aren't. OWB Plumbing & Building handles bathrooms across Dorset, Devon and Somerset as our own work, not a sequence of contractors who don't talk to each other. Strip-out, first-fix plumbing, tiling, waterproofing, suite install, second-fix and silicone are all done by the same team. For plastering, electrical sign-off and decorating we bring in trusted trades we've worked with for years.

Full bathroom refits

A full bathroom renovation means stripping out the old, first-fix plumbing to the new layout, plastering where needed, tiling, fitting the new suite, second-fix plumbing, electrical work for extractors and lighting, decorating and silicone finishing. We work to a schedule so you know what's happening each day, and we clean up properly at the end of every visit.

Showers & wet rooms

Replacing a tired shower with a modern mixer or digital unit, upgrading to a thermostatic shower, fitting a walk-in enclosure, or full wet-room installation including correct floor falls and tanking. Tanking and waterproofing matters. A cheap wet room is the kind of thing you pay for twice.

Suites, fixtures & fittings

WCs, basins, baths, vanity units, chrome or brushed fittings, heated towel rails: we'll supply at competitive rates or fit what you've bought yourself. Where something you're keen on is likely to be a false economy, we'll say so before you pay for it.

Plumbing for renovations

Moving pipework for a new layout, capping off and redirecting for kitchen-to-bathroom conversions, or reworking an old lead or galvanised pipework system to modern copper and plastic. Plumbing is usually where a bathroom project lives or dies. Get the first-fix right and everything else runs smoothly.

Tiling, plastering & related trades

Tiling (wall and floor) is part of our bathroom work. For plastering (full skim or patch-ups after pipework), electrical work where required, and decorating, we bring in trusted locals. One point of contact, one clear schedule, one invoice.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a bathroom fit usually take?
A straightforward bathroom refit typically takes 7–12 working days: a day or two stripping out, a few days on first-fix plumbing and tiling, then final fixtures and second-fix. Complex layouts or full wet rooms can run longer; we'll give you a realistic schedule before starting.
Do you supply the bathroom suite or do I?
Either works. We can supply a complete suite at competitive rates, or fit whatever you've bought yourself. We'll advise on what works well and what tends to be a false economy before you buy.
Do you handle plastering, electrics and decorating too?
Tiling and waterproofing are part of our bathroom work and we do them ourselves. For plastering, electrical sign-off and decorating we bring in trusted trades we've worked with for years, scheduled around our own work so the job runs smoothly.
Can you work around us while we stay in the house?
Yes. For most single-bathroom refits in homes with a second bathroom or cloakroom, people stay at home. If you only have one bathroom, we'll plan the schedule so it's out of action for the shortest time possible.
