Project Overview

Plumb London was instructed to replace a failing shower installation and upgrade the surrounding enclosure. The existing setup required full removal due to deterioration in both fittings and finishes, with additional implications for waterproofing and ceiling integrity.

The objective was not just replacement, but to deliver a controlled, watertight installation that reduced future risk of leaks, improved usability, and brought the bathroom up to a reliable standard.

Environment / Operational Considerations

Works were carried out within an occupied residential property. Daily protection and cleaning ensured minimal disruption. Careful coordination of water isolation and reinstatement was required, alongside controlled sequencing of plumbing, tanking, and tiling to allow for curing times and performance integrity.

Additional Works and Building Protection

Full property protection was applied prior to works commencing. The subfloor was inspected following removal of the existing tray. Ceiling repairs were required due to the previous installation. Waterproofing measures were upgraded beyond a like-for-like replacement to reduce long-term risk.

Nick and Steeve were absolutely fantastic – their work was done quickly, efficiently and to a really high standard. They provided excellent advice throughout and left the house and bathroom in particular very tidy every day. We are very pleased with the results and will definitely request to have them for future jobs.
