So pleased we found Steve after a couple of poor experiences with larger companies. Steve was helpful throughout, offered advice and went the extra mile to get our old broken shower working to keep us going until he could complete the full installation. We are absolutely delighted with our new shower. It looks great and is now accessible for my disabled husband. Steve worked hard, kept us informed throughout and was very considerate of our situation. We highly recommend him.

When my wife and I met Steve we told him how we would like to alter our shower room. He came up with a plan and told us what he would do and how he would do it. He kept us informed from start to finish. No matter what problems occurred he found a solution often a better one. We would not hesitate to recommend him to any of our friends and family. Norma and I are very pleased with our new shower room.

I engaged this company to design two bathrooms and a utility room in a new extension. His speciality in providing accessible bathrooms and his status as a Which! trusted trader led me to him. Although planning permission had been granted he suggested that changes to window positions and sizes be made to accommodate the design. This would have meant going back to planning to amend the plans for the extension. The biggest problems though, were the cost and the time it was taking. Perhaps I had underestimated actually what such a design would have cost and he also required payment as we went along not when the job was completed and I ended up paying almost £900 for ideas and suggestions with a potential further £400 to actually get a completed design and specification. I thought that was too much. I never did get a completed design as I terminated the relationship. I contrast that with another company who have done all of the design work at no cost at all with the proviso that they will supply the components.

The trader replied (on 25/10/2019)
Thank you for making this review. I am really sorry that you are unhappy with my work. I offer the following comments: 1. I think you received more than ideas and suggestions, I issued fully detailed dimensioned plan drawings and fully rendered 3 dimensional formatted CAD images that show recognised branded products (sanitary wear, brass wear, furniture and accessories) used in the design of the ground floor shower room, the upstairs new main bathroom and the existing bathroom in the main house. 2. After discussion with your architect about the we agreed that the windows and doorways would be adjusted and my designs amended to reflect this. These drawings were issued to you on the 3rd October. 3. You confirmed that the final set of drawings and designs had been nailed and could offer no criticism of the designs produced. 4. On the 7th October I received an email asking me to set a limit on spend to complete the outstanding work. After considering my reply the contract was terminated on the 10th October as” it was just too expensive”. You agreed to work with a merchant who would complete the work in exchange for materials contracts. 5. I agreed to stop the work and you paid my September invoice. 6. The cost of re issuing the approved drawings completed in October was not invoiced nor paid for. I offer this at no cost as a gesture of good will. 7. I am sorry that I could not complete your contract and that you fail to rate and acknowledge the help and advice given.

Steve helped us to create a beautiful period bathroom in our cottage. He is reliable, trustworthy, honest & extremely experienced. He helped us to create more space in our small bathroom, making us a bespoke vanity unit for under the sink & guiding us through each stage, giving expert advice on what would work & what wouldn't work. Great attention to detail from the quote right through the finished product. Very approachable & fantastic craftsmanship. Even the cat liked him! Would most certainly recommend.

Have recently had Steve in to alter my bathroom into a new wet room, if you want a man who does a brilliant job does not cut corners, comes every day until the works complete, works extremely hard and does a full days work every day, who does every part of the job as it should be done i would certainly recommend Steve. My wife and i felt very confident leaving Steve in our home and going out during the day. We were very pleased with the finished work. Steve gives you a contract setting out a payment plan of three payments over the course of the work. A great job Jeff and pat Jarvis

We recently had our very old Shower room refitted by Steve and are very pleased with the results, not only does the room look great it gives a much bigger feel considering the size. A tricky job was carried out on time and Steve kept the job clean and tidy. We are happy that we chose Steve to do the work and would not hesitate in recommending him.

We are delighted with our new bathroom. After searching for someone who would undertake the full process from the initial design ideas to completion, and being disappointed by generic options offered by some of the larger companies, we found 1st For Bathrooms and Kitchens who seemed to provide everything we were looking for. Steve responded quickly to our first email and from our first meeting, we knew we had chosen the right person. He was able to able to use his expertise to plan, project-manage and build a bespoke bathroom that we barely could have thought possible in such a small space. Steve is diligent, highly organised and skilled. All through the project, we felt at ease with him working in the house and confident in his ability to do a sensational job – which he did. We would recommend Steve’s excellent services without hesitation... saving up now for the en-suite bathroom!

Steve built and designed a kitchen and (on a separate occasion) a bathroom and two cloakrooms. We knew from the kitchen that he was totally reliable; always sticking to the timetable he gave us; always trustworthy to work with accuracy and showing a pride in producing best work. There were several things that pleased us, such as his detailed design and quotation; his accurate plan and timetable to cause minimum disruption to the rest of the household (important when installing a kitchen). When he installed our bathroom some years later he retained all these qualities and is completely trustworthy.
