Richmond homes and the bathrooms that come with them
In the townhouses on Richmond Hill and around the Green, bathrooms were added long after the house was built, often on a half-landing or in a former dressing room, with long waste runs and original features close by that have to be protected. Flats in those houses add the lease and a shared stack to the conversation. In the Edwardian family houses towards East Sheen and Sheen Road the bathroom is usually in the rear addition or at the top of the stairs, and the brief is a family room that works for several people. In the newer riverside blocks it is concrete floors, internal bathrooms and the building manager's rules.
Comparing quotations in Richmond
Quotations vary because they describe different things. One covers the whole renovation with building materials and products; another is an installation figure that leaves out tiles, fittings or the building work found once the old room is stripped. Compare the scope and who supplies what, not the headline number. Our written quotation describes the agreed work, separates our supplies from your purchases and lists what is still to be decided.
A typical Richmond job
A first-floor flat in a converted townhouse on the Hill: a bathroom in a former dressing room with a long waste run to the stack, a cast-iron bath nobody uses and a cornice that must survive. The work keeps the cornice, replaces the bath with a walk-in shower on a raised tray to get the fall to the stack, adds a wall-hung WC and a vanity with drawers, and runs the new pipework within a boxed stud wall rather than chasing old plaster.
Nearest completed projects
We do not yet have a photographed project in Richmond itself. The closest are our Chiswick bathroom and our Northfields bathroom, both full renovations in Victorian and Edwardian houses. Your own quotation will reflect your room.
What a Richmond quotation covers
A quotation follows a free site visit, because the room decides the work: the floor construction, where the stack is, how the fittings can move and how the team will get materials in. We agree the layout and the products with you, then put the whole scope in writing with a clear line between what we supply and what you buy. If a separate designer is wanted, we can suggest one; their fees are agreed with them.
Conservation areas, skips and parking in Richmond
Richmond Council publishes separate conservation area statements including Central Richmond, Richmond Hill and Richmond Riverside. A bathroom renovation is internal work, so conservation area status normally only matters if the project adds or changes a window, a rooflight or an external flue or vent; check the individual address rather than the neighbourhood name. See Richmond Council: conservation area statements.
Richmond Council asks for at least ten working days' notice to suspend a parking bay for deliveries or a skip, with an administration fee plus a charge per bay per day that depends on the zone. See Richmond Council: parking suspensions. Local information last checked: 9 October 2026. Check the council's current information and fees for your property before relying on them.
Budget and timescale for a Richmond bathroom
Allow around £15,000–£25,000 as a total budget for a complete bathroom renovation, covering labour, building materials, tiles, bathroom fittings and finishes. Products you buy yourself are part of this total. This is a planning range, not a minimum spend or a fixed quotation. Room size, layout and product choices affect the cost. Tell us your budget so we can discuss what is achievable after a free site visit.
Bathroom renovations typically take 2–4 weeks on site, depending on scope. Preparation, ordering and the start date are discussed separately. If you intend to live at home during the work, tell us which facilities will be available so practical arrangements can be made.
Direct contact through handover and afterwards
BathWright has £2 million public liability cover. Our renovation work comes with a 12-month written workmanship guarantee, with the scope and terms provided in the project documentation. This is in addition to your statutory rights; product warranties are separate.
If something needs attention after handover, contact us directly to discuss it and arrange a visit where needed.
Discuss your Richmond renovation
We focus on full bathroom renovations and do not take on small repairs or fitting-only jobs. Send your postcode, a description of the room and the changes you have in mind. The initial conversation, site visit and written quotation are free.
