Bathroom Fitting & Installationin Portrack

Portrack is part of our home area in Stockton-on-Tees, and we provide complete bathroom fitting and installation for homeowners throughout the neighbourhood.

We already have genuine completed bathroom work in Portrack, including one of the most technically demanding bathroom installations in our portfolio. That project required substantial structural floor reconstruction after an old recessed whirlpool bath was removed and the extent of previous alterations to the timber floor became visible.

Bathroom fitting and installation in Portrack

Tees Valley Refurbishments Ltd provides complete bathroom fitting, bathroom installation and bathroom refurbishment in Portrack and across the wider Stockton-on-Tees area.

Our work can include:

• complete bathroom strip-out;
• plumbing alterations;
• bath and shower installation;
• bathroom tiling;
• floor preparation and flooring;
• wall repairs and preparation;
• bathroom furniture and sanitaryware;
• heated towel rails;
• lighting and ventilation;
• structural preparation where required;
• final fitting, sealing and finishing.

Each project is assessed around the actual condition of the property rather than assuming that everything behind an existing bathroom is suitable to reuse.

A completed bathroom installation in Portrack

Our completed Portrack project provides a strong example of why proper preparation matters during a complete bathroom installation.

The existing bathroom contained a large whirlpool bath that had been recessed through the bathroom floor. When it was removed, the original floor joists were found to have been cut back substantially to create the opening.

Before the new bathroom could be installed, the floor therefore had to be properly reconstructed.

The structural work included new 8 × 2 timber joist extensions, additional support, joist hangers, noggins and new moisture-resistant chipboard flooring to form a complete and level bathroom floor.

Only after that structural work had been completed could the new bathroom installation continue.

From structural preparation to the finished bathroom

The Portrack project was not simply a replacement of visible bathroom products.

After the floor had been reconstructed, the work continued with new plumbing routes, floor preparation, bathroom tiling, wall repairs, plastering, lighting, ventilation and final bathroom fitting.

The finished bathroom included:

• a conventional 1700 × 800 mm bath;
• a matt-black rainfall shower;
• a wall-hung vanity unit;
• concealed basin plumbing;
• a modern WC;
• a relocated matt-black heated towel rail;
• vertical wood-effect wall tiles;
• patterned floor tiling;
• recessed ceiling spotlights;
• feature lighting around the mirror;
• improved humidity-controlled ventilation.

The customers remained in the property throughout the project, so the access route was protected and cleaned during the work.

The complete installation was delivered over ten working days and finished on schedule.

Bathroom refurbishment in Portrack

Not every Portrack bathroom will require structural reconstruction.

Some projects involve keeping the existing layout and replacing dated fittings and finishes. Others require alterations to plumbing, drainage, walls or floors before the new bathroom can be installed properly.

The purpose of the initial bathroom survey is to assess the existing room, discuss the required layout and identify as much of the likely preparation work as possible before a quotation is produced.

Customers receive a clear fixed-price written quotation setting out the agreed scope of work.

Bathroom tiling and floor preparation

Floor and wall preparation can be just as important as the visible tiles.

Where existing backgrounds are unsuitable, they are repaired or rebuilt before the new finish is installed.

Depending on the property and specification, preparation may include:

• repairing damaged wall backgrounds;
• replacing unsuitable plasterboard;
• strengthening timber floors;
• installing suitable tile backer boards;
• levelling or preparing floors;
• rebuilding boxing or service sections;
• rerouting concealed plumbing.

Our Portrack project demonstrates this particularly clearly: the finished patterned floor sits above a completely reconstructed structural floor that is no longer visible once the bathroom is complete.
