Bathroom Fitters in Hitchin

Rated 5.0 on Google · Fully insured

In September 2026 a Hitchin family reviewed the complete bathroom renovation we had just finished for them, praising the tidy team and the quality of the finished room. Not long before that, we took a Hitchin room back to the bare shell and rebuilt it as three: a bathroom, an en suite wet room and a walk in wardrobe. From new bathroom installations to full refurbishments, we design, supply and fit bathrooms across Hitchin with our own team, from the first measure up to handover.

One room into three, in Hitchin

The brief was a single room that had to become three useful spaces. Splitting it that way left the bathroom compact, so we fitted a quadrant shower enclosure: its curved front tucks the shower into the corner and keeps a clear path through the room, where a square tray would have eaten into it. Handmade look tiles and brass crosshead taps keep a small room warm rather than clinical, and a traditional heated towel rail, a shaker vanity and a backlit mirror finish it.

“We recently had our bathroom completely renovated by JLP Plumbing in Hitchin and have been really impressed from start to finish. Gary, Harry, Jack and all the others involved was very helpful throughout and kept us updated as the work progressed. Everyone who worked at the house was polite and tidy and the quality of the finished bathroom is excellent. We are really pleased we chose them.”

Bathrooms we design and fit in Hitchin

Full bathroom renovations

Everything out, back to the walls if needed, then a new layout, new suite and new finishes. Both the Hitchin bathroom above and the one reviewed in September were full renovations.

En suites and wet rooms

Adding an en suite usually means finding space and getting waste pipes to fall the right way. A wet room needs the whole floor and the lower walls tanked, which means sealed with a waterproof membrane before tiling, because the shower drains across the open floor.

Walk in showers

In a compact Hitchin bathroom, the shape of the enclosure matters as much as the shower. A quadrant, a single fixed glass panel or a full width screen each suit a different room.

Accessible and mobility bathrooms

Level access showers, fold down seats, grab rails and controls at a reachable height, planned around the person using the room.

Cloakrooms

A downstairs toilet and basin where every centimetre counts: wall hung pans, compact basins and storage that doesn't crowd the door.

From design visit to handover

01

Free design visit. We come to your Hitchin home 7 days a week, including evenings and weekends, measure up and talk through how you use the room. Young families, busy households and older homeowners all use a bathroom differently, so the plan starts with you.

02

3D design drawings. You see the layout before anything is ordered, so changes cost nothing but a redraw.

03

Written quote. Everything is agreed with you in writing before any work begins.

04

Supply and fit. We supply the suite, tiles, brassware, shower glass and mirrors. Our own team does the strip out, building work, carpentry, plumbing, electrics with an electrical certificate, plastering, tanking, tiling, flooring, underfloor heating and heated towel rails, and decorating.

05

Handover. A full clean, a walk round with you and a 3 year workmanship guarantee. Payment is in stages: a deposit, a mid job stage payment and the balance at handover.

Hitchin's hard water and your new bathroom

Hitchin is supplied from the chalk, and its water is very hard. On a new bathroom that shows up as white marks on shower glass, dull chrome and grey grout lines within months. A water softener fitted at the same time as the bathroom stops most of it at source. If a softener isn't for you, we can suggest glass coatings and fittings that are easier to keep clear.

“Excellent service. Jack responded quickly to enquiries and was able to start a complete bathroom renovation within 3 weeks of providing the quote. Very happy with my new bathroom finished to a high standard, with Jack checking in a few days after finishing to ensure everything was working as it should be. The whole team were reliable and trustworthy, would highly recommend.”

“I would highly recommend Jack and his team — they were absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Jack, Gary, and Harry renovated our main bathroom and master bedroom en suite, and we are incredibly pleased with both the results and the quality of the finish. Their workmanship is outstanding, and the attention to detail throughout the project was second to none. They carried out the work with great care, professionalism, and courtesy, and they were consistently neat and tidy — something we truly appreciated. Their knowledge and expertise were evident at every stage. Jack also recommended upgrading our water system, which has made a significant difference and greatly improved performance for our large family home. We genuinely couldn't recommend them highly enough. We are absolutely delighted with the work they've done — full marks to Jack and the team!”

Bathroom questions from Hitchin homeowners

What affects the cost of a bathroom renovation in Hitchin?
Mainly the size of the room, the suite and tiles you choose, how much of the layout moves, the area being tiled, and whether it's a wet room or a shower tray. Moving a toilet or a shower usually means new waste runs, which adds work. We give you a free written quote after the design visit, so you know the full cost before anything starts.
How long does a bathroom renovation take?
A typical full renovation takes 2 to 3 weeks on site. We agree the start date and the plan with you in writing before work begins.
What does the 3 year guarantee cover?
Our workmanship on the bathroom we fit is guaranteed for 3 years. Taps, showers and other fittings also usually carry their manufacturer's own warranty.
Can we still use the house while the work is going on?
Yes. If you need the toilet, we'll always keep it in use for you. If we have to take it out during the day, we put it back in every night. We work with customers of all ages and needs, so we talk through everything else at the design visit and plan the work around you.
Do you take on smaller bathroom jobs too?
Yes. As well as full renovations we replace showers, fit new shower screens and taps, and reseal baths and showers. A small job often tells you a lot about a firm before you trust it with the whole room.
Do you design the bathroom as well as fit it?
Yes. We visit, measure, draw the room in 3D and supply everything from the suite to the mirrors, so one team is responsible for the design and the fit.
