Bathroom Installation & Plumbing in London — Vanity Units, Toilets, Showers, Taps
RenoPlumb fits and replaces bathroom fixtures across London — vanity units, toilets, basins, shower valves and taps — usually finished in a single visit, with a free, no-obligation quote. We don't do full tiling or bathroom redesigns; we fix and fit the plumbing that makes a bathroom work, across East and Central London from our E1 base.
Call 07460 824073What counts as a bathroom installation job?
“Bathroom installation” covers swapping or fitting individual fixtures — a new vanity unit, toilet, basin, shower valve or bath and basin taps — not full retiling or room layout changes. If your bathroom's layout and tiling are staying as they are and you just want fixtures replaced or upgraded, that's exactly the job we do for customers across Tower Hamlets, Hackney, Islington and the rest of London.
For anything involving new tiling, waterproofing, or moving the position of a bath, basin or toilet, you'll need a full bathroom fitter or design-and-fit company — see our section below on when to call which.
Signs you need a fixture swap, not a full refit
If the room itself is fine but one fixture is failing or dated, a straight swap is usually all that's needed — no need for a full renovation. Common signs we see across London bathrooms include:
- An old vanity unit leaking underneath or with a swollen, water-damaged base
- A cracked, stained or chipped basin
- A toilet cistern that won't stop filling or refilling on its own
- A worn shower valve that's hard to adjust or won't hold temperature
- Mismatched, corroded or dripping taps
- A bidet or extractor fan that's stopped working properly
If any of those sound familiar, a fixture swap is usually a same-week job rather than a multi-week renovation project.
What we fit and replace
We fit and connect vanity units, toilets, basins, shower valves and taps to existing pipework, matching new fixtures to your bathroom's layout without moving pipes or altering the room. Specifically, we handle:
- Vanity units and basins, including waste and supply reconnection
- Close-coupled and back-to-wall toilets, including cisterns and fittings
- Shower valves (the plumbing itself — enclosure supply and fit is by arrangement)
- Bath and basin taps, mixers and thermostatic valves
- Bidets
- Extractor fans tied in as part of a fixture installation visit

How fast can we get to you?
Most installation jobs are booked within a few days of your call; if a fixture is actively leaking, we treat it as urgent and aim to attend the same day. We're based on Commercial Road, E1, and cover Tower Hamlets, Hackney, Islington, Newham, Southwark, Canary Wharf, Shoreditch, Whitechapel, Bethnal Green and Mile End as standard, with wider London bookings arranged on request.

When to call a plumber vs a bathroom design company
If you're planning a full bathroom redesign — a new layout, tiling, or waterproofing — you need a bathroom design and fit-out specialist; if you need fixtures fitted, repaired or replaced in an existing bathroom, that's exactly what we do. Bathroom fitters and design companies typically quote per full room and take several weeks; a plumber like RenoPlumb quotes per fixture and typically finishes in a single visit. Call 07460 824073 for a free quote and we'll tell you honestly which category your job falls into.
How much does bathroom installation cost?
Cost depends on which fixture you're replacing and how much of the existing pipework can be reused — a tap swap costs far less than a new vanity unit with fresh waste connections. We always give a free, no-obligation quote before any work starts. For the full breakdown of what affects the price, see our pricing page.
FAQs
How much does it cost to fit a bathroom fixture in London?
It depends on the fixture and how much re-plumbing is needed — a tap swap takes far less time than a new vanity unit with fresh waste connections. We give a free, no-obligation quote after seeing photos or visiting. See our pricing page for more detail.
How much do B&Q charge to fit a bathroom?
Large retailers like B&Q offer fitting services through third-party contractors, usually priced per full bathroom rather than per fixture. If you only need one or two fixtures replaced — not a full retile — a local plumber is usually faster to book and better value. Ask us for a free quote first.
How long does it take to fit a new toilet or vanity unit?
Most single-fixture swaps — a toilet, basin or vanity unit — are completed in one visit, typically a few hours depending on whether the pipework needs adjusting. We'll confirm the likely time when we quote.
Do I need a full bathroom fitter or just a plumber?
If the layout, tiling and waterproofing are staying the same and you just need fixtures replaced — vanity unit, toilet, taps, shower valve — a plumber can usually handle the whole job. A full bathroom fitter is only needed if you're changing the layout or retiling.
Can you fit an extractor fan when replacing a bathroom fixture?
Yes — we can tie in extractor fan replacement or repair as part of a fixture installation visit, which is often more efficient than booking it separately. Ask when you request your free quote.
