Complete bathroom transformations — fully managed from start to finish
A new bathroom is one of the most rewarding home improvements you can make — but it's also one of the most complex, requiring a plumber, electrician, tiler, decorator, and someone to manage the waste. At Element Home Services, we take care of every trade in-house, so you have a single point of contact from first design meeting to final clean-up. Based in Berkhamsted, we carry out bathroom installations across Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire, from simple suite replacements to full luxury wet room transformations. Every project comes with a 12-month workmanship warranty and the assurance of Gas Safe registered engineers (No. 926711) handling all plumbing and heating work.
Most bathroom projects require a minimum of four trades: a plumber, an electrician, a tiler, and a decorator. Coordinating these yourself means multiple quotes, multiple start dates, and the risk of delays when one trade is waiting on another. With Element Home Services, you get every trade under one roof. We coordinate the entire project ourselves — plumbing, heating, electrical, tiling, decorating, and full waste removal — which means a faster programme, no miscommunication, and a single point of contact throughout. You deal with us from the first design meeting to the day we hand over the keys.
We carry out all types of bathroom installation across Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire. Full bathroom replacements are our most common project — stripping out the old suite and fitting a completely new one. En-suite additions are popular in bedrooms where there is space to create a new shower room. Wet rooms are a premium option, with a fully waterproofed, level-access shower area — ideal for accessibility or a luxury finish. Cloakroom and downstairs toilet installations are a great way to add value to a property. We also carry out bathroom refurbishments — replacing tiles, sanitaryware, or heating without a full strip-out.
Bathroom installation costs vary significantly depending on the size of the room, the quality of the sanitaryware and tiles, and the complexity of the plumbing and electrical work. A standard bathroom replacement (like-for-like) typically starts from around £3,500–£5,000 fully fitted, including all labour, plumbing, electrical, tiling, and waste removal. A mid-range bathroom with quality sanitaryware and full tiling typically costs £5,000–£9,000. A high-end bathroom with premium brands, designer tiles, underfloor heating, and bespoke features can cost £10,000 or more. We provide detailed, fixed-price quotes after a free home visit — no hidden extras.
We work with all major sanitaryware and tile suppliers and are happy to fit products you have sourced yourself or help you choose from our preferred suppliers. Popular brands our customers choose include Roca, Ideal Standard, Crosswater, Duravit, and Villeroy & Boch for sanitaryware, and Porcelanosa, Topps Tiles, and Fired Earth for tiles. We can advise on layouts and finishes that work well in your specific space and budget — from classic white suites to contemporary frameless shower enclosures and freestanding baths.
Underfloor heating is a popular addition to bathroom installations and works particularly well with tile floors. We install electric underfloor heating mats as part of bathroom projects — they are straightforward to install under tiles and provide comfortable, energy-efficient warmth underfoot. All UFH thermostats are wired in by our electricians as part of the project. Wet underfloor heating (connected to your central heating system) is also available for larger bathroom renovations.

For example, a £6,000 bathroom on 24-month 0% finance costs just £250 per month with no interest. Longer terms are also available. Finance is subject to status and credit checks.
