Bathroom renovations are one of the most searched home improvements in the UK, and it’s easy to see why. A well-designed bathroom not only improves daily comfort but can also add real value to your home. Whether you’re upgrading an outdated suite, improving water pressure, or planning a complete transformation, investing in your bathroom is one of the most rewarding home improvements you can make.
Interestingly, many older homes in Cornwall originally had no indoor bathroom at all. In some rural areas and older coastal towns, households even relied on an outside toilet, as indoor facilities were considered a luxury!
At Piran Plumbing, we’ve been helping homeowners across Cornwall for over 20 years, delivering reliable, high-quality bathroom plumbing services built to last. From small repairs to full bathroom installations, our experience means your project is in safe hands.

-
- Eco-friendly plumbing systems to reduce water usage

- Stylish upgrades such as freestanding or roll-top baths
- Stylish upgrades such as freestanding or roll-top baths
-
- Bathrooms that are easier to maintain and more energy efficient
A professionally planned bathroom renovation ensures your plumbing works efficiently while supporting your chosen design.

Our bathroom installation services include:

-
- Installation of all new plumbing pipework
-

Please note: tiling, carpentry, and electrical work are not included, but we’re happy to work alongside other trades to ensure the plumbing side of your project runs smoothly.
Unvented Hot Water Systems Explained
If your shower lacks pressure or your bath takes hours to fill, an unvented hot water system could be the ideal solution.
An unvented system is a pressurised hot water system that delivers powerful, consistent water pressure throughout your bathroom. This makes it particularly popular for:
-
- Homes with multiple bathrooms
-
- Properties with weak gravity-fed systems
-
- Households upgrading to rainfall showers or larger baths
Installing the right hot water system can completely transform your bathroom experience, and we’ll always advise on the best solution for your property.

What Our Clients Say
“Shower doors replaced easily and professionally. Looks so much better — thank you.”
– Brian Hosken
“I recently had my ancient cast iron bath removed and replaced with a shiny new one. Jack and Harry did an absolutely amazing job. They managed to remove the bath in one piece and didn’t break a single tile. The new one was perfectly installed and you would think it had always been there. Fast, efficient, tidy and very friendly. Highly recommended!”
– Louise Secker
