After months of looking around we walked in to The Bathroom Studio and with the help of the design team we walked out full of ideas. Graham took on board all of our wish list and ensured it all fitted in, Michelle helped us out with tile ideas and Guy fitted the perfect wet room/ensuite for us. The Bathroom Studio handled the complete project from start to finish. would we recommend this company?..... Most definitely . Thank you all so much

This is the second time Ive used The Bathroom Studio with perfect results on both occasions.
Sadly, my partner had a massive brain aneurysm last year and was advised that she needed to convert her en-suite into a wet room. Having looked around at several companies that offer wet rooms I decided to ring Michelle at the Bathroom Studio for help. I was delighted when she told me they could offer this service. Micelle (the planner) is brilliant, and her great strength is that she listens to your needs and then sets to work to deliver. Once the plans are agreed Michelle came out to visit to make

I couldn't recommend The Bathroom Studio highly enough! Michelle designed the most amazing bathroom, moving things around and making it feel at least twice as big as it was before. She was so responsive on emails and took on board everything we said. It was fitted by David and we were so impressed by the way he worked. We had some small issues with the tiles, absolutely not the fault of anyone at the bathroom studio and actually they and David did everything they could to get it all sorted out. We got so much peace of mind from having one company sort everything out for us. We now have a bathroom

We received fantastic service from The Bathroom Studio from start to finish and we are over the moon with our new bathroom. From the very first contact we felt in safe hands. Having had a poor experience previously with a different company we wanted a company that would take away the stress from planning a new bathroom and they did exactly that.
Michelle the designer was very friendly, responsive and knowledgable. She had great ideas of her own and also took on board all of our ideas and so we really feel that our bathroom is everything we hoped it would be.
Steven the fitter was first class
