Jamie’s beautiful bathroom renovation in London

The dream for Jamie's bathroom
To transform this tired, outdated space…
… into a beautiful Victorian-style bathroom
Jamie explains: “The existing bathroom was very dated. It did not have a bath, it was incredibly dirty, and using our old bathroom was a rather unpleasant experience!”
“We wanted to rip out the bathroom entirely and replace it with brand new, Victorian-style features and fixtures.”
Jamie had recently refurbished the rest of his property, so it was important for him to hire a company that would be respectful of his home, that understood the brief, and could deliver high-quality work.
“I’ll admit, I was a little apprehensive about the project. Having just been through a major home renovation, I was acutely aware of the disruption a project like this can have on your home life.”

Getting started on his project
To get started on his bathroom renovation plans, Jamie took inspiration for his Victorian bathroom renovation from a number of sources, including property websites, home interior magazines, and social media.
He also used the Checkatrade blog to help plan his project and gather design ideas and costs:
“The Checkatrade site helped us to understand the costs of our project, and how to budget for this. This gave me confidence that we were getting a fair price.”

Finding an expert for the job
After gathering information for his project from the Checkatrade blog, Jamie searched the Checkatrade website for local tradespeople to help make his dream bathroom come to life.
He was matched with several tradespeople in his local area, but it was Checkatrade member, Renovaze, who stood out to him, so he decided to contact them for his bathroom renovation.
“It’s the reputation of Checkatrade which I trust. It is – and will always be – my first port of call. I’ll always use the website to find local tradespeople; it’s simple to use, easy to find what you’re looking for, and you know that a high level of quality is assured.”

How was it working with Checkatrade member, Renovaze?
Renovaze specialises in property renovation, conversions, and extensions in the London area. They provide an end-to-end design and installation service for wet rooms, bathrooms, shower rooms, and kitchens.
“I have to say, Yousuf and the Renovaze team offered me complete reassurance. They were incredibly professional from start to finish, instantly putting me at ease.
After our initial meeting, Renovaze produced an extremely detailed plan of action, including an outline of the scope of the work and an itemised quote.
The process and costs were totally transparent throughout. Yousuf kept us apprised of their timings and the costs of materials during the project. Every single expense was accounted for and recorded.
They were respectful of our home and our wishes. Aside from a delightful new bathroom, there is zero trace that anyone else has been at the property!”

What does Jamie think?
“The new bathroom that the Renovaze team designed and installed exceeded our expectations. It’s been genuinely life changing having a bath tub, for a start. Being able to walk into a lovely space for a shower at the start of the day really changes one’s mindset.
We have since had our home valued and the bathroom renovation has added considerable value to the property.
Yousuf and his team are delightful – truly fantastic people. They are very knowledgeable, and thoughtful and regularly checked in with me for my thoughts on elements of the project. They were also incredibly responsive throughout. They gave us their undivided attention.”
