Bathroom fitters covering Cornwall
Cornwall starts just over the water from us. Plymouth sits right on the Tamar, and the moment you cross the bridge or take the Torpoint Ferry you’re into Cornwall — so for us the county isn’t a far-off place, it’s the patch on our doorstep. We fit complete bathrooms right across south-east Cornwall, from Saltash and Torpoint through Callington, Liskeard, Looe and the Rame Peninsula, and we travel wider into the county for full renovations, wet rooms and accessible bathrooms. Same team, same fixed written quote, same tidy-site promise you’d get in Plymouth — the county line changes the postcode, not the way we work.
A Plymouth team that genuinely covers Cornwall
Plenty of Plymouth tradespeople treat the Tamar like a wall. They’ll happily quote until they realise the job is Cornwall-side, and then the price quietly climbs or the calls dry up. We’re the opposite. Cornwall is part of our week, not an inconvenience — we’re across the river so often that crossing to Saltash, Torpoint or Liskeard is simply the drive to work. Because we know the roads, the crossings and the housing on both sides of the water, our quotes hold. We’ve usually seen your type of home before, whether it’s a granite cottage down a Cornish lane or a modern house on an estate outside Liskeard.
South-east Cornwall is our core patch, and it’s full of exactly the homeowners we do our best work for: families dragging a dated bathroom into this decade without wanting to live on a building site, and longer-standing residents thinking sensibly about a walk-in shower or a level-access wet room for the years ahead. Beyond that near belt, we cover the wider county for larger projects — full bathrooms, renovations and accessible installations where the scale of the job makes the travel worthwhile. Wherever you are, the promise is the same: a proper bathroom, fitted properly, by people from just over the border.
The Proud promise, wherever you are in Cornwall
- A free home visit — we cross the water to you, measure up and talk it through, with no obligation.
- One fixed written quote that includes the trip, so there’s no day rate that creeps.
- A named project manager and the same faces on site from strip-out to final clean.
- Fully insured, with a written workmanship guarantee on every bathroom.
- A daily tidy and dust-sheeted routes through your home — you still live there while we work.
The parts of Cornwall we cover
Our regular patch is south-east Cornwall — the towns and villages within easy reach of the Tamar Bridge and the Torpoint Ferry. These are the places we’re in most weeks, and where you’ll get the quickest home visit and the most straightforward pricing. For bigger projects we happily travel further into the county; the travel just gets factored into the quote up front.
Saltash
The gateway town, straight over the Tamar Bridge. Period terraces in the old town, post-war family homes around Burraton, and newer estates at Latchbrook — a bit of everything, all a short hop from us.
Torpoint
Reached by the Torpoint chain ferry across the Hamoaze. A close-knit town with plenty of solid mid-century housing and the gateway to the Rame Peninsula beyond.
The Rame Peninsula
Kingsand, Cawsand, Millbrook and out towards Rame Head and Whitsand Bay — beautiful, tucked-away villages with characterful cottages and a good number of coastal and holiday homes.
Callington
An old market town under Kit Hill, a mix of granite-built character homes and modern estates — classic full-bathroom and renovation country.
Liskeard
A busy market town on the A38, with everything from Victorian terraces to newer developments. A frequent destination for full renovations and accessible bathrooms.
Looe
The fishing port split into East and West Looe by the river. Steep streets, tight fishermen’s cottages and a strong seam of holiday lets that need hard-wearing, quick-turnaround bathrooms.
St Germans
A historic village on the Lynher estuary, known for its priory and quiet lanes. Older, characterful properties where a sympathetic, careful fit matters.
Landrake
A village just off the A38 west of Saltash, with a mix of cottages and modern family homes — an easy, regular call for us.
Wider Cornwall
For full projects we travel further — Bodmin, Lostwithiel, St Austell and beyond. Larger renovations, wet rooms and accessible bathrooms where the scope justifies the trip. Ask and we’ll tell you honestly.

Cornish homes and what they mean for your bathroom
Cornwall’s housing has a character all its own, and it shapes every bathroom we fit here. Getting the read right at survey — and pricing honestly for what we’ll actually find behind the plaster — is half the job.
Granite cottages and period property
Much of Cornwall is built from local stone — thick granite walls, slate roofs, and the occasional cob or rubble-filled wall. These homes are wonderfully solid but rarely square: uneven floors, deep window reveals, low head height and sudden changes of level are all part of the charm. They reward a patient, sympathetic hand — packing and levelling so tiles sit true, and detailing the waterproofing correctly where nothing is quite plumb. We’re well used to it and we flag the quirks at survey, not halfway through.
Coastal and holiday homes
Cornwall has more than its share of second homes and holiday lets, especially around Looe, the Rame villages and the coast. These need bathrooms that look smart but earn their keep — durable, easy to clean and quick to turn around between guests. We’re happy to work to a let-changeover schedule and to spec finishes that stand up to constant use and salt-laden coastal air.
Damp and ventilation
Cornwall is wet and windy, and solid stone walls with little cavity can hold moisture. Poor ventilation turns that into black mould and peeling paint fast. We treat extraction and airflow as core to the job, not an afterthought — properly rated fans, humidity sensing where it helps, and finishes chosen to cope with a damp maritime climate. A good bathroom here is one that dries out between showers.
Modern estates and family homes
The market towns and larger villages — Liskeard, Callington, Saltash’s newer edges — have plenty of post-war and modern housing with tidy plumbing and more flexible layouts. These take a full re-design well and often suit a walk-in shower or wet room because you can rework the room rather than squeeze into the old footprint. Quicker, cleaner projects with fewer hidden surprises.
Whatever your home, the survey is where we read it properly — floor structure, wall build-up, head height, where the waste runs, how the room ventilates — so the price we give you is the price you pay.
Every bathroom service we offer in Cornwall
We design, supply and fit the lot, so one accountable team handles your whole project from a quick refresh to a complete re-design. Here’s everything available across the county.
Full Bathroom Installation
A complete new bathroom from strip-out to final clean, on one fixed quote — our bread and butter in Cornish family homes and market-town terraces alike.
Bathroom Renovation
Reworking a dated or tired bathroom into something modern — often combining an old bathroom and separate WC, or sympathetically refreshing a period cottage suite.
Wet Room Installation
Fully tanked, level-access wet rooms — popular for future-proofing a family home and ideal in coastal and holiday properties where easy-clean durability matters.
Walk-in & Easy-Access Showers
Low-threshold showers that look smart and make daily life easier — a frequent request from longer-standing residents across Cornwall’s older cottages.
En-suite & Cloakroom Fitting
Carving a smart en-suite from a box room or fitting a downstairs cloakroom — great for larger homes and holiday lets that need extra facilities.
Mobility & Accessible Bathrooms
Level-access showers, grab rails, comfort-height WCs and slip-resistant floors — designed around how you live, never clinical. Some of our most rewarding work.
Bathroom Tiling & Flooring
From big calm porcelain to feature walls and slip-rated floors — laid true even in the out-of-square rooms of an old granite cottage.
Bespoke Bathroom Design
A bathroom designed around your room and how your household uses it — perfect for the awkward layouts and changes of level in Cornwall’s period homes.
How much does a bathroom cost in Cornwall?
Honest figures, no games. Cornwall sits in our Plymouth pricing, and because the region runs roughly 9% below the national average on fitting costs, a bathroom here lands a little under what you’d pay up-country. We put the whole job on one fixed written quote — travel included — so the number doesn’t creep once we start. A full bathroom typically lands between £4,075 and £10,870, with most projects averaging around £6,340.
| Project | Typical cost | Typical timescale |
|---|---|---|
| Full bathroom | £4,075–£10,870 (avg ~£6,340) | 7–10 working days |
| Wet room | £5,545–£10,810 | 4–7 working days |
| Walk-in shower | £2,500–£6,500 | 3–6 working days |
| Tiling & flooring | £800–£3,500 | 2–5 working days |
What drives the price in a Cornish home
- Combining an old bathroom and separate WC, or moving the layout around.
- Re-routing waste and feeds in older stone-built or period homes.
- Cottage quirks — uneven floors, solid walls, changes of level, tired substrates.
- Extra ventilation and damp-tolerant finishes for exposed coastal properties.
- The spec, from standard porcelain to large-format or natural-stone tiling.
- Distance for far-west jobs, which we factor in honestly up front.
What keeps it sensible
- Keeping the suite in roughly its existing footprint.
- Sound floors and modern pipework, common in newer estate homes.
- Mid-range fittings chosen well rather than top-end designer names.
- A clear brief up front, so there’s no expensive mid-job rethink.
- Grouping the work in south-east Cornwall, close to our base.
A quick word on travel: for our regular south-east Cornwall patch there’s no meaningful travel premium — it’s part of our normal working area. For jobs deep into the far west of the county, any additional travel is built transparently into the fixed quote, never sprung on you later. For the full breakdown of what goes into the number, see our guide to the cost of a bathroom in Plymouth.
How the crossing and logistics work
Getting into Cornwall from Plymouth is easy, and knowing the crossings is part of why we can cover the county so reliably. There are two main routes, and we use whichever suits your postcode:
- The Tamar Bridge carries the A38 straight into Saltash and on towards Callington, Liskeard, Landrake and the wider county. It’s our main artery west.
- The Torpoint Ferry — a chain ferry across the Hamoaze — is the quick way to Torpoint, Millbrook and the Rame Peninsula without the longer road round.
We plan around the busier commuter spells so the team and deliveries arrive without fuss, and we stage materials so your hallway isn’t full of boxes for a fortnight. Crossing the water doesn’t add days to your job — we work to a set schedule with the same team on site each day, so your bathroom is never left half-finished while we disappear back over the river. On tight Cornish lanes and steep village streets, we agree loading, parking and skip placement with you first, so we’re not blocking a narrow hill or upsetting the neighbours.
Accessible bathrooms across Cornwall
Cornwall has a lot of long-standing residents who’ve happily lived in the same home for decades — and a level-access shower or accessible bathroom is one of the smartest ways to keep it that way. We design accessible and mobility bathrooms around how you actually live: a level-access wet floor with no tray to step over, discreet grab rails, a fold-down seat, a comfort-height WC, lever taps and a thermostatic valve capped for safety — none of it looking remotely clinical.
The changes of level and steep stairs common in older Cornish cottages can make daily life harder as mobility changes, which is exactly why planning ahead here matters. Whether it’s future-proofing a family home or making things easier for a parent, it’s some of the most rewarding work we do — and there’s often help available towards the cost. Our guide to accessible bathroom grants & options walks through what you might be entitled to.
Cornwall bathroom FAQs
Do you cover all of Cornwall?
Our regular patch is south-east Cornwall — Saltash, Torpoint, Callington, Liskeard, Looe, St Germans, Landrake and the Rame Peninsula — all within easy reach of the Tamar Bridge and Torpoint Ferry. For larger projects such as full bathrooms, renovations, wet rooms and accessible installations, we travel further into the wider county. If you’re deep in the far west, just ask and we’ll give you an honest answer about timing and travel before you commit to anything.
Is there a travel charge for jobs in Cornwall?
For our regular south-east Cornwall patch there’s no meaningful travel premium — it’s part of our normal working area, and the crossing is simply built into your fixed written quote. For jobs deep in the far west of the county, any additional travel is factored in transparently up front, so you always see the full price before we start. There are never hidden add-ons after the event.
Do you charge extra to cross the Tamar Bridge or take the ferry?
No hidden crossing surcharge. Cornwall is a regular part of our patch, so the Tamar Bridge or Torpoint Ferry is built into your fixed written quote rather than added on as an afterthought. We treat a Cornwall-side job exactly like one in Plymouth — same team, same pricing approach, same promise.
How much does a new bathroom cost in Cornwall?
A full bathroom typically costs between £4,075 and £10,870, with most projects averaging around £6,340. Because the region runs roughly 9% below the national average, prices sit a little under what you’d pay up-country. The final figure depends on the size of the room, the spec and the age of your home — older stone cottages can add a little for levelling and ventilation. See our guide to bathroom costs for the full breakdown.
Can you work on old granite cottages with uneven floors and walls?
Yes — characterful stone cottages are a familiar challenge across Cornwall. Uneven floors, thick solid walls, deep reveals and sudden changes of level all need a careful, sympathetic approach: packing and levelling so tiles sit true, and waterproofing detailed correctly where nothing is quite square. We assess it all at survey and price for what we’ll actually find, so the quote holds.
Do you fit bathrooms in holiday homes and coastal properties?
Yes, often. Coastal and holiday homes around Looe, the Rame villages and the wider Cornish coast need bathrooms that look smart but earn their keep — durable, easy to clean and quick to turn around between guests. We’re happy to work to a changeover schedule and to spec hard-wearing, damp-tolerant finishes that cope with constant use and salt-laden air.
Do you fit wet rooms and accessible bathrooms in Cornwall?
Yes — both are a big part of what we do here. Wet rooms suit family homes future-proofing for the years ahead and coastal properties wanting easy-clean durability; every one is fully tanked, graded to fall cleanly to the drain and finished with slip-resistant tiling. Accessible bathrooms — level-access showers, grab rails, comfort-height WCs and fold-down seats — are designed to look like a smart bathroom, never a clinical one, and there’s often funding help available.
Are you insured and guaranteed?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and every bathroom we fit in Cornwall carries a written workmanship guarantee. You’ll have one named point of contact throughout, a fixed written quote agreed before we start, and the same accountable team on site from strip-out to final clean.
