How can we help you?

Bubbles Bathrooms / FAQ

What guarantees do you provide?

All of our workmanship has our exclusive unconditional guarantee for 10.5 years (the longest guarantee in the industry) Of course, all licenced trades and products have their own specific guarantees. Our customer relationships are lifelong and are important to us, so we will help as much as we can, even if the warranty is finished.



Will someone guide me through the process?

Yes of course, your designer and our team will guide you through till the completion of the project, and you will also have a dedicated site foreman to oversee and look after the whole renovation process.



How long does a renovation process take?

This depends on the complexity of the renovation. Once we have completed the proposed layout and scope of works for your project, we will know the duration so you know exactly how long it will take. As a general guide, a bathroom renovation takes 3-4 weeks before you can use the room and 90% of the bathroom will be complete. It’s usually an extra 2 weeks for custom shower screens to be made and installed. So we will install a temporary screen so it’s still functional while you wait for the shower screen to be installed and bathroom to be 100% complete.



Can I remain in my home during the renovation?

Yes, you can, only the bathroom will be out of action during the renovation. If you have more than one bathroom we can renovate one at a time so that your bathroom is still usable. There will be short interruptions to power and water. But we try to keep interruptions do your daily life down to minimum, making the renovation process enjoyable. If you have only one bathroom in your home it can be a little tricky. But temporary bathrooms are available in most areas for hire and we can recommend something. Our clients often stay off site in these circumstances.



Do you organise all the tradespeople?

Yes, all the trades are organised by us and most have been working together as a team for many years. Your designer, site foreman, and project management team will be doing all the organising for you. So you can just sit back, relax, and enjoy the process.



How will we select our bathroom products?
