Our Guide to Bathroom Renovations in Cornwall

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 Whether you’re upgrading an outdated suite, improving water pressure, or planning a complete transformation, investing in your bathroom is one of the most rewarding home improvements you can make.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.

Bathroom Renovation Services in Cornwall

Cornwall homes range from charming coastal cottages to modern family houses, and many bathrooms weren’t designed with today’s lifestyles in mind. Older plumbing systems, poor water pressure, and dated layouts are common issues we see across the county.

Homeowners are increasingly looking for:

     

      • Roomier showers with better pressure

      • Eco-friendly plumbing systems to reduce water usage

      • 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.

    Bathroom Plumbing Repairs & Everyday Fixes

    Not every bathroom project needs to start with a full renovation. Many customers contact us to help with those niggly everyday bathroom problems that can quickly become bigger issues if ignored.

    We regularly help with:

       

        • Leaking pipes and hidden bathroom leaks

        • Broken or underperforming showers

        • Dripping taps and faulty valves

        • Poor water pressure in sinks, baths, and showers

      Addressing these problems early can save money in the long run and prevent damage to floors, walls, and ceilings.

      New Bathroom Installations & 3D Design Service

      If you’re planning a new bathroom installation, we offer a professional and straightforward service from start to finish. Working alongside a trusted third-party design company, we can provide a full digital 3D bathroom design, allowing you to visualise your new bathroom before installation begins.

      Our bathroom installation services include:

         

          • Removal of existing bathroom fixtures

          • Installation of all new plumbing pipework

          • Fitting of baths, toilets, basins, showers, and towel rails

          • Hot, cold, and waste connections for the new suite

        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.

          One of our recent projects involved a complete bathroom overhaul in Newlyn, showcasing the level of detail and care we bring to every job.

              • Full removal of the existing bathroom and shower room

              • Removal of all old plumbing

              • Installation of new hot, cold, and waste pipework to suit the new suite

            Landlords: Why Winter Is the Perfect Time for Bathroom Work

            If you own seasonal holiday lets in Cornwall, winter is often the ideal time to carry out bathroom plumbing upgrades and remedial work. Tackling issues during the quieter months helps ensure your property is fully prepared for the busy holiday season, reducing emergency call-outs and guest complaints.

            Common winter upgrades include:

               

                • Replacing ageing bathroom fittings

                • Improving water pressure

                • Fixing leaks and worn pipework

                • Upgrading hot water systems

              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
