How do I get started with my bathroom renovation?

Simply contact us to schedule a home survey or visit our Dublin showroom to meet with one of our design consultants. We’ll guide you through the entire process from there.

What happens during the initial home survey?

Our team will visit your home to assess the space, take measurements, and understand your renovation goals. This helps us create a tailored design plan for your bathroom.

Do I need to prepare anything for the home survey?

Not much! Just think about the style, functionality, and any specific features you want for your bathroom. We’ll handle the rest.

How long does the bathroom renovation process take?

How far in advance should I book my bathroom renovation?

We recommend booking at least 4-6 weeks in advance to allow for design, product ordering, and scheduling the renovation team.

Do you handle all plumbing, building and electrical work yourselves as part of the renovation?

Every person who sets foot in your home during the bathroom renovation is a member of the Ripples team. As part of our full-service approach, we coordinate all trades, including plumbing, electrical work, and tiling.

We only have one bathroom. How will we manage without it during the renovation?

We know how challenging it can be to be without a bathroom, and we do everything we can to keep disruptions to a minimum. While there may be some temporary inconvenience for a few days, we make sure you always have access to toilet facilities, never leaving you without them for more than a few hours. Our aim is to have your new bathroom ready by Friday so you can enjoy it over the weekend.

Do I need to arrange for a skip? How about the cleanup?

No need to worry about waste and debris during the renovation. We take care of it all! At the start of the job, we’ll provide a skip, trailer, or truck to dispose of your old bathroom responsibly. Additionally, once the project is complete, we’ll remove any excess materials, offcuts, and packaging.

What is the payment procedure?

Our transparent payment structure is outlined in our accompanying terms and conditions sent along with the quotations. Once we’ve agreed on the design, a 50% deposit secures your booking. On the job start date, 40% of the payment is due, with the remaining 10% to be paid upon successful completion.

Is there a warranty on the work provided?

Absolutely, all Ripples bathrooms are backed by an automatic, no-fuss, one-year guarantee covering all fittings and workmanship.

How do I select sanitary ware and tiles?

Choosing the right sanitary ware, tiles, furniture, and accessories is crucial for a perfect bathroom. We recommend visiting one of our showrooms, where our friendly staff will provide unbiased advice. During the consultation stage, we can also bring tile samples and brochures to your home for convenience.
