The Work Behind the Finish
Three stages. One real repair.
This was a repair and reinstatement, not a complete redesign. The priority was to address the damaged structure before fitting and finishing the bath area.
01 · Expose the problem
Removing the bath and opening up the affected area exposed damage to the floor structure. The repair needed to address what was underneath before the bathroom could be put back together.
02 · Repair the structure
The structural floor was repaired and a new wall plate installed. This stage matters even though it is hidden once the bath and finishes are back in place.
03 · Fit, test and finish
The bath was fitted, the affected area tiled and grouted, and the shower, taps, waste and screen installed. The final work included testing, silicone sealing, the bath panel and making good the affected kitchen ceiling below.

Signs your bathroom may be leaking
- A stain, bubbling or crack on the ceiling under the bathroom
- A floor that feels soft, springy or uneven near the bath, shower or toilet
- Grout or silicone that keeps going black or coming away
- A musty smell, or tiles that sound hollow or move
Caught early, a leak is usually a small repair. Left, it can rot joists and bring a ceiling down, which is what this job was heading for.
Every repair is different. Photographs help us understand your enquiry, but the condition of concealed flooring and walls may only become clear when the area is inspected or opened up.
