What We Do

More than a showroom — a complete bathroom design service

Most bathroom companies sell you products and leave the rest to you. We do it differently. We design your bathroom around your space — whether that's a master ensuite, family bathroom, wetroom, shower room, guest ensuite or cloakroom — source every product, coordinate delivery, and stay involved right through installation with your own tradesperson or one of our approved fitters.

You get a complete 3D design before anything is ordered. A fixed-price specification with no surprises. Installation drawings and technical support so your fitter has everything they need. And we're a phone call away throughout the build.

The design service is free. You only pay for the products you choose.

How It Works

Six steps from first idea to finished bathroom

Every project follows the same structured process, whether you're using your own fitter or ours. Each stage is agreed before the next begins.

  1. 01

    We talk about what you want

    Visit our Leigh-on-Sea showroom or we come to you. We listen to what you're looking for, discuss your budget, and agree on priorities. No pressure, no commitment.

  2. 02

    We measure your space

    We visit your home in Rayleigh, take precise laser measurements, and check everything technical — plumbing, electrics, ventilation. This is how we make sure the design works perfectly in your space.

  3. 03

    You see your bathroom before it's built

    We create 3D visuals so you can see exactly how it will look. You choose every tile, tap, and finish. Nothing is ordered until you're completely happy — and the price is fixed at this point.

  4. 04

    We order everything and manage delivery

    We place all orders, track stock, and coordinate delivery to match your installation schedule. No chasing suppliers, no missing parts.

  5. 05

    We support the installation

    Your fitter gets detailed installation drawings, product specifications, and fitting guidance. We stay available throughout the build to answer questions and make sure everything matches the design.

  6. 06

    Aftercare & support

    Once your bathroom is finished, we hand over care guides and product manuals. All manufacturer warranties are registered. If anything needs attention down the line, we're still here.

“Fantastic team who helped us from design stage all the way through to completion. The quality of the work and products are superb. We would use them again for future works.”

Installation

Installation that works around you

However your bathroom gets built, we're behind the project. Here's how most of our clients work with us.

Professional bathroom installer fitting tiles with floor and furniture protection in place — the standard we expect from every tradesperson working on our designs

Your Own Tradesperson

Already have someone you trust?

Great — we'll work with them directly. Our designer can meet them on site, brief them on the specification, and we provide everything they need to install to the design exactly.

  • Installation drawings and product data provided
  • On-site briefing with your fitter available
  • Direct support line throughout the build
  • All manufacturer warranties included

Our Approved Installers

Need us to arrange installation?

We'll match you with a vetted, insured installer from our approved network. They already know our products and standards, and we stay involved from start to finish.

We also offer a fully project-managed option for clients who'd like us to handle every aspect of the build, including a 3-year workmanship warranty.

Investment

What does a bathroom design and supply package cost?

For products only — cloakrooms start from around £3,000. Full bathrooms typically fall between £6,000 and £15,000+ depending on room size, specification level and product choices. That's the cost of everything we design and supply: sanitaryware, brassware, tiles, lighting, heating, furniture and accessories.

Installation is separate and depends on who does the work and the scope of your project. If you use our approved installers, we can provide an indication of installation costs during the design phase.

The most accurate budgeting happens once scope is defined. Use our Price Guide for room-specific product pricing, or book a consultation for a tailored quote.

Local Knowledge

Bathroom design & renovation for Rayleigh homes

Rayleigh's housing stock is varied — from Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the High Street to 1930s semis along the Eastwood Road corridor and modern family homes across the wider SS6 area. Each presents different challenges when it comes to bathroom design.

Older properties often have restricted void depth, legacy pipe routes, and uneven walls. 1930s and 1950s semis frequently need plumbing rerouted around original soil stacks. Larger family homes in the Downhall and Rawreth areas may need multiple bathrooms designed as a coordinated suite.

We account for all of this during the design phase — before products are ordered and before your fitter starts work. It's the difference between a bathroom that looks good on paper and one that actually works in your home.

Client Reviews

What Our Clients Say

★★★★★

“Fantastic team who helped us from design stage all the way through to completion. Friendly, polite and professional people who made us feel comfortable and happy throughout. The quality of the work and products are superb. We would use them again for future works.”

David Sims — Benfleet

★★★★★

“So happy that we found Bowmans to create our dream bathroom. We really enjoyed the process of visiting the showroom, chatting through the design with Jonnie and Katie — who had some great ideas within our budget — seeing tiles, taps etc in person and then seeing the detailed designs before approval so we could be sure everything was how we wanted it.

The install process was also great, Paul did a wonderful meticulous job ensuring no corners were cut and the finish is perfect.”

C Golding — Ingatestone

★★★★★

“I’ve waited a couple of weeks before posting this review as I wanted to make sure everything was good and I have to say that I still love our new bathroom as much today as the day it was handed over. The whole experience with Bowman’s from the moment we walked into the showroom to the final day of installation was exceptional.

Throughout the design stage Verity listened to our ideas and feedback and provided multiple design alterations until we had the perfect outcome. Our fitter, Stefan was superb! He explained what was being done every step of the way and checked in regularly to make sure we were happy.

Overall, it’s the best piece of work we’ve ever had done in the house and couldn’t recommend Bowman’s highly enough.”

Maria Brame — Brentwood

Rayleigh Bathroom FAQs

Common questions from homeowners in Rayleigh and surrounding areas.

We design your bathroom, source every product, and stay involved through the entire build. You get a complete 3D design, a fixed-price product specification, coordinated delivery — and we remain on hand throughout installation to make sure everything goes to plan. We're a design and supply company that stays with the project from first idea to finished room.
Either works. Most of our clients either have their own trusted tradesperson or use one of our approved installers. If you have someone you trust, we'll work with them directly — providing installation drawings, product specifications and hands-on support throughout the build. If you need a fitter, we'll match you with a vetted, insured installer from our approved network who already knows our products and standards.
For products only — cloakrooms start from around £3,000, and full bathrooms typically fall between £6,000 and £15,000+ depending on room size, specification level and product choices. That covers everything we design and supply. Installation is separate and depends on who does the work and the scope of your project. Use our Price Guide for room-specific product pricing, or book a consultation for a tailored quote.
When you buy from a retail showroom, you're choosing products. When you work with us, you're getting a designed bathroom — every product selected to work together technically and aesthetically, precise measurements taken in your home, 3D visuals so you see the result before anything is ordered, coordinated delivery, and support through installation. The design service is free. You're not paying extra — you're getting significantly more.
Yes. Our Leigh-on-Sea showroom is just 5 miles from central Rayleigh. You can explore materials, try taps and showers, and talk through your ideas with our design team. We recommend booking an appointment so we can give you proper time. Walk-ins are welcome too.
We work with homeowners across Rayleigh and the surrounding SS6 postcode area, including Hockley, Hullbridge, Rawreth, Eastwood, Thundersley, Hadleigh, Rochford, Hawkwell, and Wickford. Wherever you are locally, the process is the same.
We stay available throughout the build — if a question comes up on site, we're a phone call away. All products come with full manufacturer warranties, and we handle warranty registration and any product support after completion. If you use our approved installers, their workmanship is also covered.
We work with leading bathroom brands including Crosswater, Hansgrohe, Axor, Geberit, Roper Rhodes, BC Designs, JTP, Porcelanosa, Ca' Pietra and HIB, among others. Product selection is guided by durability, design integrity and long-term performance. All products can be viewed and specified during your showroom consultation.
It depends on the complexity. For a straightforward room, the design phase can take just a few days. For larger or more complex projects — multiple rooms, structural changes, bespoke elements — it's normal for design to take a couple of weeks or more. Product lead times range from 2 to 12 weeks depending on availability, with special-order items sometimes taking longer. For installation timelines, speak with your chosen fitter as these vary depending on the scope of work. We coordinate product delivery to match your installation schedule.
