Interior Renovation and Bathroom Installation
Most bathroom enquiries turn out to be more than a new suite. Walls are warped, ceilings uneven, pipework in the wrong place or the room simply too cold. That is why Mighty Oak Construction treats bathrooms as interior renovation: the room is put right first, then fitted. Two published projects show what that looks like in practice.
A Victorian bathroom in Tunbridge Wells
The client wanted the existing space ripped out, the plumbing reconfigured, every wall reinsulated and plastered, and a completely new suite with a flush shower tray, a repositioned toilet and radiator, and tiling throughout. As with many Victorian houses in the town, the walls were warped, the ceiling uneven and the internal structure in poor shape.
Work began with a full rip-out, then plumbing and electrics were rerouted to suit the new layout before plastering and tiling. Despite the structural problems, the job was completed in just under three weeks, finishing with smooth walls, balanced lighting and a clean monochrome palette.
A ground-floor wetroom in Maidstone
The Maidstone clients had collected six quotes from builders who would not take on the structural and plumbing requirements. The room was cold, poorly insulated and unsuitable for a wetroom as it stood. It was hacked back to brick, structurally altered and rebuilt as a fully insulated wetroom with smart upgrades, over four weeks.
That project is a useful reminder that a wetroom is a building job as much as a fitting job: falls, waterproofing and drainage all have to be designed in.
What a full installation includes
Whether the finished room is a family bathroom, a shower room or a wetroom, the stages are the same. Skipping the early ones is what leads to cracked tiles, cold rooms and leaks later.
Full strip-out and inspection of walls, floor and ceiling · Replumbing and electrical changes for the new layout · Insulation and replastering where the walls need it · Tanking or waterproofing in wet zones · Tiling, suite installation and finishing
Coordinated trades
Bathroom work on this site is described as coordinated trades for seamless results. In practice it means the plumber, electrician, plasterer and tiler work to one plan, so nobody tiles over pipework that has not been tested or plasters before the cables are in. A review from Tonbridge describes a quote within 24 hours and a team that left everything clean every evening.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a bathroom installation take?
The two published projects took just under three weeks (Tunbridge Wells) and four weeks (Maidstone wetroom with structural alterations). A like-for-like refit is shorter.
Can you move the toilet or shower?
Yes. The Tunbridge Wells project repositioned the toilet and radiator and rerouted the plumbing to suit the new layout.
Do you install wetrooms?
Yes. The Maidstone ground-floor wetroom case study describes one built around structural and plumbing challenges.
