Crosswater bathroom installation in Stoke Poges

Stoke Poges is a village of large plots and substantial houses, from older period detached homes to more recent executive-style builds, many set well back from the road on sizeable gardens — and that scale of property is exactly where we most often get asked to fit a second en-suite alongside the main bathroom, frequently specified with Crosswater's shower range. A concealed Crosswater valve or digital shower controller needs a stud wall chased out to a specific depth and pipework run to match, and when a second en-suite is being created from scratch off a principal bedroom, that chase depth and pipe run are decisions we're making for the first time rather than working around an existing wall. We fit only across Stoke Poges — you choose and supply the Crosswater products, we strip out, first-fix, tile, plumb and snag the installation, from £3,500.

What we install from Crosswater in Stoke Poges

Crosswater's range covers concealed and digital shower valves, shower kits, deck-mounted and wall-mounted taps and the shower enclosures and screens that match, most of it built to sit flush against or concealed within the wall rather than proud of it. When that range is going into a brand-new second en-suite — a common request in Stoke Poges's larger houses — there's no existing pipework or wall to retrofit around, which is actually an advantage: the valve position, chase depth and pipe run can be built correctly from the outset rather than adapted to what's already there. We install whatever's been specified through your showroom or designer, whether that's a single valve or a full en-suite fit-out.

Getting the wall and pipework right before the tiler arrives

The performance of a concealed Crosswater valve comes down to decisions made before any tile is laid: the depth of the stud wall it sits in, the route the supply pipework takes to reach it, and whether the water pressure and flow at that point suit the valve. In a new en-suite build within a larger Stoke Poges property, we use the £125 survey to agree the wall construction and pipe route against the specific Crosswater valve being fitted, so the trim plate sits correctly once the room is finished rather than needing adjustment afterwards.

How Stoke Poges's housing stock affects a typical Crosswater installation

The mix of older period detached homes and more recent executive-style builds around Stoke Poges, many set well back from the road on sizeable gardens, generally gives us more room to manoeuvre on layout than a smaller property would allow — relocating a waste run, widening a doorway for level access, or adding a second en-suite off a principal bedroom rarely runs into the structural constraints a terraced house would present. In an older period property we still check original floor joists and existing service runs before committing to a valve position; in a newer executive-style build we're more often confirming what's already boxed in behind a previous fit-out. The survey establishes which situation applies before any quote is finalised.

Fit-only, from £3,500

We don't sell Crosswater products — you supply them through your own showroom or designer, and we handle the installation, from £3,500 for a fit-only bathroom or en-suite. If an installed Crosswater shower or tap later needs attention, repair work starts from £200 (we don't take on standalone regrouting), and any emergency call-out has a £500 minimum.
