Luxury bathroom and wet-room refurbishment in Acton. Trusted, professional, 30+ years' hands-on experience.
GS Renovation refits bathrooms and en-suites throughout Acton, W3, working within the tight footprints of bay-fronted Victorian and Edwardian terraces near Walpole Park and Ealing Common. With more than 30 years in Ealing borough, we handle full waterproofing, drainage, ventilation, tiling and underfloor heating, from family bathrooms to compact wet rooms.

Acton's older terraces often have bathrooms set in the rear closet wing or a former bedroom, where original floors and solid walls need proper preparation before any tile goes down. We tank and waterproof the wet areas fully, form falls to the drainage, and make sure ventilation is adequate so moisture is dealt with rather than trapped in the fabric of a W3 house.
Getting the substrate right is what keeps a bathroom watertight for years. On timber floors we brace and level; on solid floors we prepare and tank; and around showers we apply a continuous waterproof membrane behind the tiling. It is unseen work, but on a period Acton property it is the difference between a bathroom that lasts and one that leaks into the room below.
Space is tight in an Acton terrace, so we plan bathrooms to make every inch count. A walk-in shower or fully tanked wet room can free up a small footprint, while a well-planned en-suite carved from a rear bedroom adds real convenience without losing the room. Underfloor heating keeps the floor clear and warm, useful where wall space is limited.
We sort the drainage and ventilation properly, run new pipework where the old lead or iron has had its day, and tile to a standard that suits the house. New bathroom electrics, extractor fans and heated elements are installed to building regulations and notified as required, so your Acton refit is safe, compliant and finished to a standard that lasts.
Acton homeowners choose GS Renovation because we get the parts you cannot see right, the tanking, drainage and ventilation, before the tiling ever goes up. We plan layouts that work in tight W3 terraces, install underfloor heating and en-suites properly, and meet building regulations on the electrics. Three decades across Ealing borough mean bathrooms built to last.

FAQ
A rough steer yes, a quotation no. Ring 07472 424 226 or email info@gsrenovationltd.co.uk and we will describe how bathroom renovation normally runs in Acton, including the Ealing Council approvals involved. The figure itself waits until the W3 property has been seen, because bay-fronted Victorian terraced construction rarely matches the assumption. That is what keeps a GS Renovation quotation accurate. Nothing at all is owed for the W3 survey, and the written Acton figure follows within days. As a rough guide, bathroom renovation in London ranges from roughly £6,000 to £20,000 or more (indicative London ranges, MyBuilder and Checkatrade, 2026). Your figure depends on the size, specification and condition of the property, which is why we survey before quoting.
Only within limits the engineer or the regulations allow. Running a waste pipe across joists in your Acton house tempts deep notching, and a notch in the wrong place or of the wrong depth seriously weakens the floor. We run pipes parallel with joists where we can, or through correctly positioned holes rather than notches. Where your layout demands more, the floor structure is designed to suit it.
Yes. A wet room has no tray to contain water, so the floor and the lower walls are waterproofed as a continuous system before any tiling begins. The membrane is carried up behind the tiles and sealed at every junction and pipe penetration. In an Acton house with a timber floor that detail matters even more, because a leak reaching joists is discovered late and is expensive.
Enough that water reaches the outlet from every part of the floor, which is set out before the screed or the boards go down. In an Acton bathroom the fall is formed either by tapered boards or by laying the screed to a designed gradient towards the gully. A floor that is flat in one corner holds water there permanently, and no amount of sealant corrects it afterwards.
Yes, and it has to discharge outside. Part F requires extraction from a bathroom, and in your Acton house that means ducting to an external wall or through the roof rather than into a loft void. Moisture pushed into a roof space causes condensation and eventually decay in the timbers. You want an adequate extraction rate and a duct run that is as short and straight as the layout allows.
