Bathroom Refurbishments in Hawkhurst
Serving Hawkhurst & surrounding areas
Bathrooms in Hawkhurst's interwar and post-war housing stock are often undersized, with awkward layouts inherited from when the rooms were converted from box rooms.

Why Hawkhurst bathroom refurbishments briefs are different
We re-plan Hawkhurst bathrooms before quoting tile, often swapping bath for walk-in shower, relocating the WC against an outside wall, and adding hidden cistern frames to claim back floor area.
Hawkhurst splits between The Moor's tile-hung Victorian villas and Highgate's mid-century semis, with a steady churn of post-war bungalows ripe for full reconfiguration.
Local considerations
The village straddles two conservation areas — The Moor and Highgate — and Tunbridge Wells planners apply stricter rules to anything visible from the Colonnade or the green.
Sloping plots towards Gills Green often need stepped foundations and retaining walls, and on-street parking restrictions during work hours require careful logistics planning.
The risk in a bathroom is always water management — bad tanking shows up six months later, not at handover. We treat it as the critical-path detail.
What Hawkhurst clients ask for
Most enquiries are for ensuites or family bathrooms in 1990s–2000s housing where the original suite has tired out; wet rooms are a fast-growing second category.
Recent local project
We re-planned a 1960s family bathroom in Highgate Hill into a walk-in shower room with wall-hung WC and 1.2m vanity unit.
Our process
How a bathroom refurbishments project in Hawkhurst runs
- Step 1
Visit & measure
We measure the room, check below-floor access for waste runs and identify whether the boiler can handle the new fittings.
- Step 2
Design & spec
Layouts that resolve the awkward bits — soil-stack relocation, glass screen positions, niche placement — before tile selection.
- Step 3
Strip & tank
Full strip, board out, and tanking on shower walls and wet-room floors.
- Step 4
First & second fix
Plumbing, electrics, tiling, sanitaryware and vanity install run consecutively to avoid trade overlap.
- Step 5
Finish & guarantee
Silicone, grout sealing and a written 5-year guarantee on workmanship.

FAQs
Bathroom Refurbishments in Hawkhurst — frequently asked
Can you fit a walk-in shower in a small Hawkhurst bathroom?
Yes — a 900mm walk-in usually fits where a 1700mm bath was, with room to spare.
How long is the build?
Most are 10–14 days on site.
How long does a bathroom refurbishment take?
Family bathrooms run 10–14 working days on site; wet rooms with built-up floors take 15–20 days because of the tanking and screed cure times.
Will my existing boiler cope with a bigger shower?
We check flow rate and pressure at survey. Most combi boilers handle a single drencher; multi-head and rain showers usually need an unvented cylinder upgrade.
What guarantee do you give on work in Hawkhurst?
A 5-year workmanship guarantee on everything we build, with manufacturer warranties on materials and fittings passed through unchanged.
