Bathroom FAQs

Get answers to the most common questions about bathroom renovations, from planning and timelines to costs and installation process. Our expert team at Richard Charles Bathrooms is here to help guide you through your bathroom transformation.

How long does a complete bathroom renovation take?

Most complete bathroom renovations take between 1-3 weeks depending on the complexity of the project and size of the space. Simple updates like replacing a shower enclosure can be completed in 2-3 days, whilst full renovations with structural changes may take up to 4 weeks. We'll provide a specific timeline during your consultation based on your individual requirements.

What's included in your bathroom installation service?

Our comprehensive service includes everything from initial design consultation through to final completion. This covers plumbing, electrical work, tiling, plastering, decoration, waste removal, and all installation of fixtures and fittings. We provide a complete end-to-end service so you don't need to coordinate multiple tradespeople.

Can you help with bathroom design and layout?

Absolutely. Our team combines technical plumbing expertise with interior design knowledge to create functional, beautiful bathrooms. We'll work with you to optimise your space, suggest layout improvements, and help you choose fixtures, fittings, and finishes that suit your style and budget.

Do you supply all bathroom fixtures and fittings?

Yes, we can supply all bathroom products, working with leading manufacturers to provide quality options at various price points. We source everything from sanitaryware and taps to tiles and lighting. You're also welcome to source your own items if you prefer - we're happy to install customer-supplied products.

What guarantees do you offer on bathroom installations?

We provide a comprehensive workmanship guarantee on all bathroom installations, alongside any manufacturer warranties for the products installed. Our guarantee covers all aspects of our installation work, giving you complete peace of mind about the quality and longevity of your new bathroom.

Can you install wet rooms and walk-in showers?

Yes, we specialise in wet room installations and walk-in shower solutions. Our team has extensive experience in waterproofing, appropriate drainage solutions, and creating accessible designs. We can transform any bathroom into a fully waterproofed wet room with luxury finishes.

What happens if you discover problems during installation?

If we discover unexpected issues like hidden water damage or structural problems, we'll stop work immediately and discuss the situation with you. We'll provide clear explanations and transparent pricing for any additional work needed before proceeding.

Do you provide aftercare support?

Yes, we provide ongoing support after completion. If you have any questions about your new bathroom or need advice on maintenance, we're always available to help. We also offer annual maintenance services to keep your bathroom in perfect condition.

Can you match existing tiles or fixtures?

We'll do our best to match existing materials where possible, though this depends on availability and age of the original products. During consultation, we'll discuss options for seamless integration with existing elements or suggest complementary alternatives.

How do I prepare my home for a bathroom renovation?

We'll provide a detailed preparation checklist after your consultation, but generally you'll need to remove personal items, ensure clear access to the bathroom, and arrange alternative washing facilities. We handle all protective sheeting and will minimise dust and disruption throughout your home.
