New-Build Ensuite Fit-Out in Stone
Compact, well-laid-out ensuites built into bedrooms and loft spaces.
Most new-build ensuites in Stone come from the developer with a 1700×760 tray, a low-pressure electric shower, one basin, and 3-course tile splashbacks. Livable, but not what people want two years in.
We upgrade without invalidating the NHBC warranty on the surrounding fabric — clear scope of work, waste and water lines mapped to the developer's as-builts, and a photo record of every hidden joint before boarding goes back on.
Stone is one of the areas we work in most weeks — so ensuite installation jobs here come with a working knowledge of the street layouts.
New-Build Ensuite Fit-Out FAQs — Stone
- Will upgrading the ensuite affect my NHBC warranty in Stone?
- The warranty on the wider house isn't affected — only the work we do is our responsibility, and we back that with our own written guarantee. We work to the developer's as-builts wherever supplied.
- Can you upgrade to a bigger shower tray?
- Yes — most Stone new-build ensuites will take an 1800×800 or 1200×800 tray after a small stud-work adjustment. We check the pump/gravity supply first so pressure keeps up.
- How long does a new-build ensuite upgrade take?
- Typically 4–6 working days for a full strip and refit. Cosmetic upgrades (retile, new screen, new brassware) run 2–3 days. Fixed quote after survey.
- Can you match the rest of the house style?
- Yes — we bring tile and stone samples to your Stone home so the ensuite reads as intentional, not bolted-on. Colour-matched to floors and joinery where you want it.
- Do you tidy up at the end of each day?
- Yes — dust sheets stay down, the room is hoovered daily and we leave your Stone home liveable while the work runs.
- What's the smallest bedroom an ensuite will work in around Stone?
- We can fit a workable ensuite into around 1.8m x 1.2m — enough for a corner WC, basin and 800mm shower. Most Stone master bedrooms over 12m² can lose that without feeling pinched.

Retile jobs done straight over the developer's paint-only walls — flagged regularly on Stone jobs.
On the Stone side of our patch: bedrooms too small to lose a useful chunk of floor.
