GS Renovation refurbishes bathrooms throughout Merton, from compact family bathrooms in Wimbledon terraces to en-suites in larger homes near Morden and Mitcham. With more than 30 years of experience in SW19, SW20, CR4 and SM4, we handle the waterproofing, drainage, tiling and heating so period-home bathrooms are dry, warm and built to last.
Waterproofing and wet rooms in Merton
Proper tanking is the part of a bathroom you never see and cannot skip. In Merton's solid-wall terraces we fully waterproof the walls and floor before a single tile goes on, which matters most in wet rooms and walk-in showers where water is not contained by a tray. Done correctly, tanking protects the joists and the ceiling of the room below.
Drainage and ventilation take extra thought in a Victorian or Edwardian house, where the bathroom often sits in the rear closet wing with limited fall to the soil pipe. We set the pipework to run cleanly, fit extraction that clears moisture properly, and finish with tiling and underfloor heating so the room stays warm on a cold Wimbledon morning.
Space-saving layouts for Merton period homes
Bathrooms in Merton terraces are frequently tight, carved out of a closet wing or a small return bedroom over the years. We plan layouts that make every centimetre count, using walk-in showers, wall-hung units and considered positioning of the basin and WC so the room feels larger than its footprint suggests without cramming fittings together.
For growing families in SW19 and SW20, adding an en-suite to the main bedroom is a popular way to ease the morning rush. We assess where the drainage and water supply can reach, then build a compact, fully tanked en-suite that suits the proportions of the period house rather than fighting against them.
