Our Bathroom Renovation Process
Initial Consultation
We begin by understanding your requirements, preferences, and how you use your bathroom. This consultation helps us recommend practical solutions that match your lifestyle and budget, whether you need a family bathroom, en-suite, shower room, or wet room.
Design & Planning
Working together with you and bathroom specialists, we'll develop a comprehensive plan for your new bathroom, including layout options, fixture selections, and finishes. We can work with your existing plans, collaborate with your preferred suppliers, or recommend trusted bathroom specialists from our network.
Preparation & Removal
We carefully prepare your home to minimise disruption, protecting access routes and containing dust. The existing bathroom is then professionally removed, with care taken to prevent damage to surrounding areas and with materials recycled where possible.
Essential Infrastructure
Our skilled tradespeople handle all necessary plumbing, electrical, and structural work, ensuring everything meets current building regulations and is prepared for your new bathroom fixtures and fittings.
Waterproofing, Tiling & Installation
We apply professional-grade waterproofing systems before meticulously installing your chosen tiles or alternative wall coverings. Once these foundations are in place, we carefully install all fixtures, fittings, and features according to the agreed design, paying close attention to every detail from perfectly level surfaces to precision silicone sealing.
Final Inspection & Handover
Once complete, we thoroughly inspect all work, check all functions, and ensure the space is immaculately clean before handover. We'll only consider the job finished when you're completely satisfied with your new bathroom.

Bathroom Renovation in Derbyshire
The Challenge:
Our clients had a dated bathroom with an impractical layout, inadequate storage, and fixtures that no longer met their needs. The space felt cramped, dark, and lacked the character they desired in their period property.
Our Solution:
Working with bathroom specialists, we expanded the bathroom by incorporating unused space from an adjoining bedroom, significantly increasing the floor area. This allowed us to completely reconfigure the layout, creating a spacious, light-filled sanctuary. We installed a classic freestanding clawfoot bathtub as a centerpiece beneath the window, providing views to the countryside while bathing. The walk-in shower features traditional subway tiles, while a generous double vanity with ample storage replaced the previous single basin, allowing for a more practical morning routine.
The Result:
“The bathroom renovation exceeded our expectations. Hartley Construction's attention to detail and quality of workmanship have given us a bathroom that feels like a luxury hotel. The team was respectful of our home and delivered exactly as promised.”
A bright, spacious bathroom that combines Victorian-inspired design with modern functionality. The careful balance of traditional elements with contemporary conveniences created a timeless space that will serve the family well for decades to come while significantly enhancing the property's value.
