A bathroom can look straightforward on a floor plan, yet the details behind the walls often tell another story. Moving a shower, replacing a bath or changing the position of a basin can affect plumbing, waterproofing, storage and the way the room works every day.
At ARDECO Bathroom Ltd, we believe those practical details deserve as much attention as the final appearance. Based in West Ealing, we undertake planned bathroom and toilet renovations across West London, South West London and selected neighbourhoods in Central and North West London.
Whether you live in a Victorian terrace, a modern apartment, a converted period property or a larger family home, our approach begins with understanding the existing space, what you want to change and what is realistically possible.
Our main service areas are listed below. We also consider projects in neighbouring locations, depending on the size of the renovation, site access and travel arrangements.
Bathroom Renovation Areas Across London
West London – Our Local Service Area
West London is the centre of our day-to-day work. Being based in West Ealing allows us to consider renovation enquiries throughout the surrounding neighbourhoods, where properties vary considerably in age, size and layout.
We cover Ealing, West Ealing, Northfields, Hanwell, Acton, Chiswick, Brentford, Kew, Hammersmith, Brook Green and Shepherd’s Bush.
A bathroom in an older terraced house may need careful consideration of existing pipework, floor levels and wall conditions. A bathroom in a newer flat can bring different questions about access, ventilation and the arrangement of fittings. Neither situation should be approached with a standard design that ignores the building.
We discuss what can be retained, what needs replacing and how the proposed changes will work in the available space.
Richmond, Barnes and the Thames-side Neighbourhoods
We also undertake bathroom renovation enquiries throughout the Richmond area and the residential neighbourhoods along the Thames.
Our coverage includes Richmond upon Thames, Richmond Hill, Petersham, Ham, East Sheen, Mortlake, Barnes, Twickenham, St Margarets and Teddington.
These areas include a wide variety of homes, from historic properties and traditional family houses to contemporary apartments.
When planning a bathroom in a period home, it is often important to consider how the new installation will sit alongside the building’s existing character. Traditional sanitaryware, decorative tiling and natural materials may be suitable for one property, while a simpler contemporary design may work better in another.
The choice should reflect both your preferences and the practical requirements of the room. For homes where space is limited, we can discuss alternative layouts, shower arrangements, storage and the placement of individual fittings before the installation is agreed.
South West London – From Putney to Kingston and Wimbledon
Our South West London working area includes Putney, Fulham, Parsons Green, Wandsworth, Southfields, Kingston upon Thames, Kingston Vale, Wimbledon, Wimbledon Village and Wimbledon Park, together with selected surrounding parts of the London Borough of Merton.
Properties in these neighbourhoods range from compact flats and converted houses to larger family homes with multiple bathrooms. Some projects involve renovating a main family bathroom. Others focus on an en-suite, a separate toilet or replacing an outdated bathroom layout with a more practical arrangement.
A successful renovation is not necessarily the one with the greatest number of features. In a smaller room, leaving enough space around the toilet, choosing a suitable shower enclosure or finding room for essential storage can make a noticeable difference.
We consider these decisions alongside plumbing connections, drainage, waterproofing and the requirements of the chosen fixtures.
Kensington, Chelsea and Central London
We consider bathroom refurbishment projects in Kensington, Chelsea, Holland Park, Notting Hill, South Kensington, Knightsbridge, Belgravia, Westminster, Marylebone, St John’s Wood, Maida Vale, Little Venice, Bayswater and Paddington.
Central London properties can present particular practical considerations. Older conversions may have restricted service routes, while apartment buildings may require advance arrangements for deliveries, parking, working hours or access to shared areas.
Where building-management requirements or permissions apply, these need to be identified before the relevant work proceeds.
We can discuss bathroom layouts and finishes that suit the property, whether the preference is for traditional detailing, contemporary fittings, natural stone or carefully selected tiles. The objective is to create a bathroom that looks appropriate for the home and remains practical to use and maintain.
North West London – Selected Projects by Arrangement
Our wider service area also includes Harrow, Pinner, Northwood, Stanmore and Hampstead.
Projects in these locations are considered individually, taking account of travel, access, the expected scope of work and the arrangements needed to carry out the renovation.
For larger or more involved refurbishments, we welcome an initial description of the property and proposed work so that we can determine whether a site assessment would be practical.
What Bathroom Renovation Work Can ARDECO Undertake?
Our principal service is the planned refurbishment of bathrooms and toilets. Depending on the condition of the room and the agreed scope, a project may include:
- Removal of existing bathroom fittings and finishes.
- Preparation of walls and floors for the new installation.
- Changes to bathroom plumbing and drainage.
- Installation of baths, showers, basins, toilets and associated fittings.
- Shower-area waterproofing and appropriate wet-area detailing.
- Wall and floor tiling, including decorative layouts and selected natural materials.
- Installation of shower enclosures and made-to-measure glass where required.
- Lighting, ventilation and heating-related work where included in the agreed scope and undertaken by appropriately qualified professionals.
- Final fitting, sealing and finishing details.
Not every bathroom requires the same work. Some installations can retain much of the existing layout, while others need more extensive preparation or changes to services.
We also offer optional bathroom design and layout-planning services, with the scope and cost agreed separately. Assistance with selecting or sourcing materials can be arranged on the same basis.
If you are considering a seamless surface finish, microcement can be assessed as a separate specialist service, subject to the suitability of the existing surfaces and installation requirements.

Planning a Renovation Around Your Property
Two bathrooms of the same size may require very different amounts of work.
For example, changing a bath to a shower may appear straightforward, but the existing waste position, floor construction, water supply and available enclosure dimensions all influence the installation.
Similarly, a beautifully chosen tile will only perform as intended if the surface beneath it has been prepared correctly. In wet areas, suitable waterproofing and careful detailing are important parts of the work that are not always visible once the bathroom is finished.
We therefore look beyond the appearance of the room and consider the practical conditions that affect the renovation.
Where applicable, this includes the age and construction of the property, access for materials, the condition of existing plumbing, ventilation, electrical requirements and any restrictions that need to be accommodated. These details help establish a realistic scope of work before a project-specific quotation is prepared.
How We Approach Your Bathroom Project
1. Understanding Your Requirements
We begin with the property location, the existing bathroom and the changes you would like to make.
Photographs, approximate measurements and an explanation of your priorities can be useful at this stage. If you already have a design or selected products, these can also help us understand the proposed renovation.
2. Reviewing the Space and Proposed Work
Depending on the project, a site assessment may be needed to examine the existing layout, plumbing connections, surfaces and access.
We can then discuss practical options and identify decisions that need to be made before installation.
3. Agreeing the Scope and Quotation
The work should be clearly defined before the renovation proceeds.
We discuss the proposed installation, materials, responsibilities and any separately chargeable services so that the quotation reflects the actual project rather than a generic bathroom price.
For guidance on the factors affecting cost, read our bathroom renovation pricing information.
How Far Does ARDECO Travel?
Our normal working area is centred on West Ealing, with a journey of approximately 45 minutes used as an initial planning guide.
This is not a fixed boundary or a guaranteed journey time. Traffic across London can vary significantly, and the practical distance depends on the location, parking, site access and scale of the work.
Some of the areas listed above may take longer to reach, particularly at busy times. We therefore assess these enquiries individually.
If your property is outside the named neighbourhoods, you are still welcome to enquire. Please provide the full postcode and a description of the renovation so that we can confirm whether the project falls within our practical working area.
The locations on this page relate to planned renovation projects. They do not represent a guaranteed emergency call-out area, which is subject to separate conditions and availability.
See Examples of Our Completed Bathroom Renovations
Before choosing a bathroom renovation company, it is useful to see examples of completed work rather than relying only on design illustrations.
Our projects portfolio includes photographs and details of actual renovations carried out by ARDECO.
- St John’s Wood bathroom renovation: a project featuring handmade storage cabinets and a shower area formed with a tiled floor gradient.
- Northfields, Ealing bathroom renovation: an example of renovation work in our local West London area.
- Kingston Vale bathroom renovation: a completed project in South West London.
- Uxbridge bathroom renovation: a refurbishment involving a bespoke shower, individually fitted glass, new plumbing and stone flooring.
Each project has its own layout, requirements and material choices. These examples provide a clearer picture of the type of work we undertake.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does ARDECO cover my postcode if my area is not listed?
Possibly. The neighbourhoods above describe our principal and selected working areas, rather than every postcode we may consider. Send us your full postcode and a brief description of the work. We can then assess whether the location is practical for the proposed renovation.
Do you renovate bathrooms in flats and apartment buildings?
Yes, we consider renovations in flats, apartments and converted properties, subject to access, building conditions and the scope of work. Some buildings have management rules or permission requirements that need to be addressed before work begins.
Can you renovate a separate toilet or small bathroom?
Yes. We undertake planned toilet and bathroom refurbishments, including smaller spaces. The feasibility and quotation depend on the extent of the proposed work.
Can I choose and purchase my own bathroom fittings and tiles?
Yes. You can select your preferred products, and we can discuss their dimensions and installation requirements before the work begins. If you need assistance with material selection or purchasing, this can be arranged and quoted separately.
Can you provide an estimate before visiting my property?
You can begin by submitting photographs, approximate room dimensions, your postcode and a description of the work. This helps us understand the enquiry, although an accurate project-specific quotation may require further information or a site assessment.
Do you provide emergency plumbing services in all these areas?
Not automatically. Planned bathroom renovations and emergency assistance are separate services. Emergency attendance depends on availability, location and the applicable service conditions. The renovation coverage listed here should not be interpreted as a guaranteed emergency response area.
