Bathroom replacement is the KT17 project that goes wrong most often at the cleaning stage, and the reason is chemistry rather than effort. A new bathroom packs an unusual number of intolerant materials into a small, wet room: fresh grout still curing, silicone that has been smeared well beyond the joint, a resin or acrylic tray, chrome and brushed steel fittings, sometimes natural stone, and a glass screen that shows every mark. Reach for one strong product and use it everywhere and something in that room will be permanently damaged.

Grout haze and the window it has to be caught in

Cement grout leaves a film across the tile face as it sets. Within a couple of days it comes off with warm water and a pad; left for weeks it needs an acidic treatment, which is exactly what a limestone or marble tile cannot have near it. Catching it early is the whole trick, and where it has been missed, the treatment is tested on an offcut, the joints are wetted first so they do not absorb the product, and everything is rinsed thoroughly afterwards.

Silicone smears on glass and glaze

A fitter's thumb spreads sealant a long way, and once cured it becomes a faint haze that water runs over rather than through. It is shaved back with a plastic blade at a low angle, softened where needed, then the residue is taken off with a solvent chosen for the substrate - which is not the same choice on toughened glass, on an acrylic tray and on a painted panel. Scouring a shower tray leaves a matt patch that collects dirt for ever afterwards.

Wet rooms, tanking and the tray beneath

A wet room is a sealed system: a tanking membrane, a former, a drain and a tiled surface bonded over the top. The drain is the part that suffers during construction, collecting grout, tile dust and offcuts that set inside the body. Traps come out and are cleared properly rather than flushed, because a partially blocked wet room drain shows itself the first time somebody takes a long shower.

Chalk water on brand new fittings

Water on the downs is hard, and new chrome, glass and ceramic are the first things to show it. Anything rinsed is dried by hand in the same pass, aerators on new taps are removed and rinsed of grit, and the screen is dried rather than left to run. Scale that establishes itself in the first fortnight on a new screen is far harder to remove than anything the builders left.

The rest of the house after a bathroom job

Ripping out a bathroom means tiles, plaster and often a floor coming up, and the dust from that goes straight along the landing and down the stairs. Carpet there takes the worst of it, and the base of the pile keeps releasing under footfall for weeks; extraction is what clears it, arranged as carpet cleaning across Tolworth. Where a household wants the whole property brought back to a single standard afterwards, that intensive pass is covered by deep cleaning services in Kingston.

Leftovers, brackets and the finishing touches

A new bathroom usually waits on small fixings: a cabinet on a stud wall, a rail, a shelf, a towel ring, a door that now fouls a new floor. That is work for professional shelf and curtain fitting in Worcester Park, and doing it before the final wipe-down keeps drilling dust out of a finished room.

Timing, scope and what the crew needs

Ideally the clean lands after the fitter's snagging return and after grout has cured, not the day the tiler leaves. Scope covers the bathroom, the landing and stairs, and the route the trades used. Charging is by hours and crew size rather than a fixed price per room. Water and power need to be on, and the old suite and packaging gone.
