Duravit bathroom installation in Gerrards Cross
Gerrards Cross sits around 25 to 30 minutes from our Bracknell base, the affluent Buckinghamshire commuter village close to Beaconsfield and Chalfont St Peter where a fair share of the bathrooms we fit have been specified well in advance, through a showroom, before we're booked in. That lead time works in a Duravit installation's favour, because the one detail that has to be settled before a wall is boarded — whether a wall-hung pan is going onto Duravit's own DuraSystem frame or a standard concealed cistern frame — is far easier to confirm when there's a few weeks between specification and first fix than when it's being decided on the day. Showroom specification is how most of the Duravit sanitaryware reaches us here — a SensoWash shower toilet seat on one job, a full ME by Starck suite on the next — and the extra planning time this commute allows us to build into a programme generally works in the installation's favour.
Duravit through a showroom specification
Most of the Duravit sanitaryware we fit in Gerrards Cross has been specified through a showroom rather than picked off a shelf, often as part of a wider bathroom design. The SensoWash shower toilet seat, which adds a washlet function to a wall-hung pan, and the full ME by Starck suite, where basin, WC and furniture are specified as a coordinated range, are the two we see most. We're fit-only on all of it: you choose and supply the Duravit products, and we handle the strip-out, frame, first fix, tiling and plumbing needed to install them properly.
Confirming the frame before anything is ordered
The detail that matters most on a Duravit installation is the frame. Duravit builds its own DuraSystem frame for some wall-hung pans, and some pans are also compatible with a standard concealed cistern frame — but the two routes aren't interchangeable once a stud wall has been boarded and tiled. For Gerrards Cross jobs booked with a reasonable run-in before the start date, we use that time to confirm which frame the specific pan needs, check it against the waste and water positions already in the room, and make sure nothing's ordered that doesn't match the installation route we've planned for.
Fit-only, from survey to snagging
We work fit-only across Gerrards Cross: you source the sanitaryware, brassware, tiles and furniture, and we strip out, first-fix, tile, plumb and snag, with installation from £3,500. A £125 survey ahead of the job confirms the frame route for your Duravit pan, the waste and supply positions a SensoWash seat needs, and anything else specific to the suite you've chosen — book it in and we'll have the detail settled well before fitting day.
Frequently asked questions
We're fit-only, so you source the Duravit products yourself — usually through a showroom — and we handle everything from strip-out to the finished installation.
Around 25 to 30 minutes by road from Bracknell, which is close enough that we can usually build in a proper run-in period to confirm frame and specification detail before the job starts.
DuraSystem is Duravit's own frame for some wall-hung pans. Some pans also work with a standard concealed cistern frame, but the two aren't interchangeable once a wall is boarded, so we confirm the right one before the stud wall goes up.
Yes. It needs a power supply and a water feed run to the pan in addition to standard plumbing, which we plan for at first fix.
From £3,500, with the exact figure depending on scope. A £125 survey sets out the detail, including the frame route for any Duravit sanitaryware, before you commit to a price.
