“From our first meeting with Jonny, who took on board all of our wishes and worked them into our available space, ensuring we had the best of everything. To Nazar and his team, who treated our home with respect and kept the inevitable mess and disruption down to a minimum, whilst performing the most wonderful job on our bathroom. To Jamie, who patiently answered all of our queries and kept us informed of every step — we cannot fault Bowmans. If you are looking to have a new bathroom, we have no hesitation in recommending Bowman Bathrooms. Start to finish brilliant.”

Frequently Asked Questions

We handle all the design, specification, ordering, and delivery. When it comes to installation, you choose what works for you — use your own trusted tradesperson, or we'll match you with a vetted installer from our approved network. Either way, we provide a detailed technical pack and stay available throughout the build.

We specify professional waterproofing (tanking) for every wet area — showers, baths, and wet rooms. The technical pack includes full waterproofing specifications using systems from brands like Impey, so your installer knows exactly what's required.
