Bathroom Refurbishments in Tenterden
Serving Tenterden & surrounding areas
Many Tenterden bathrooms have been added inside historic envelopes — under stairs, against thick masonry walls, into former dressing rooms — and the existing layout rarely makes sense.

Why Tenterden bathroom refurbishments briefs are different
Our first task on a Tenterden bathroom is almost always re-planning the soil stack, often into a stud false wall, so the room finally has the layout it should have had originally.
Tenterden High Street is a textbook run of Grade II listed weatherboarded townhouses, with hidden Victorian extensions to the rear and a fringe of 1970s estates near East Cross.
Local considerations
Almost the entire town sits within the High Weald AONB and a tight conservation area, so Ashford Borough Council expects materials matching to be evidenced before consent is granted.
Soft sandstone bands run under the High Street, which means lateral movement is the bigger structural risk — we routinely brief structural engineers familiar with Tenterden ground conditions.
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 Tenterden 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 downstairs cloakroom in a Grade II Tenterden property by relocating the soil stack into a new boxed riser, freeing the room for a corner basin and walk-in shower.
Our process
How a bathroom refurbishments project in Tenterden 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 Tenterden — frequently asked
Can you move a soil stack in a listed Tenterden property?
Yes, with listed-building consent — we coordinate the application.
How do you waterproof timber-floor bathrooms?
Sheet-board overlay with full tanking system on shower and wet zones — never just paint-on tanking on timber.
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.
Can weatherboarded townhouses take a rear extension?
Frequently yes, at the rear where it is not publicly visible. Matching weatherboard profiles and paint finish is what usually decides whether the application succeeds.
Do you charge a call-out fee for site visits in Tenterden?
No — first site visits and written quotes in Tenterden are free and carry no obligation. Quotes are typically delivered within 5 working days of the visit.
