Luxury bathrooms in Torbay
Coastal homes deserve bathrooms built to last
Torbay’s homes range from grand Victorian villas in Wellswood and the Lincombes to family homes in Paignton and fishermen’s cottages stacked up the hillsides in Brixham. Each brings its own challenges, and its own opportunities for something special.
Sea air and humidity are hard on a bathroom. That’s why I pay particular attention to the parts you don’t see, such as proper ventilation, fully waterproofed walls and floors, and products chosen to stand up to coastal living while still looking beautiful.
Torbay is a straightforward drive from my Newton Abbot base, so consultations, product choices and visits during the work are easy to arrange.
What I create
Bathroom services in Torbay
Complete bathrooms in Torbay
Many Torquay villas have generous, high-ceilinged bathrooms that suit a statement layout, perhaps a freestanding bath beneath a tall window with a separate walk-in shower. In Paignton and Brixham, rooms are often smaller and need clever planning instead. Either way, I design around the room and manage everything from the first fix to the final finish.
Wet rooms & walk-in showers in Torbay
A walk-in shower or wet room is a natural fit for a coastal home, especially in holiday lets and second homes where easy cleaning matters. Good extraction is essential by the sea, so it’s planned in from the start, alongside a fully waterproofed floor and walls. Frameless glass keeps the room light and open.
En-suites & shower rooms in Torbay
Converted villas and larger family homes in Torbay often have space for an en-suite that simply isn’t being used. I’ll look at how water and waste can reach it, how to keep the bedroom feeling calm, and how to fit a generous shower into a modest footprint.
Cloakrooms in Torbay
In a busy household or a holiday let, a well-designed cloakroom takes pressure off the main bathroom. Compact wall-hung basins, concealed cisterns and hard-wearing tiles keep it practical, while colour and texture give it personality.
Accessible bathrooms in Torbay
Many Torbay homeowners are planning for later life. A level-access shower, comfortable toilet height, good lighting and slip-resistant flooring can make a bathroom safer and easier to use, without making it look clinical.
Local knowledge
Homes in Torbay
Victorian villas
Wellswood, the Lincombes and St Marychurch are full of grand villas with tall ceilings and original features. They suit elegant layouts, but often hide uneven walls and old pipework that need putting right.
Hillside & seafront homes
In Brixham and along the coast, steep sites and older cottages mean careful planning for access, drainage and ventilation.
Holiday lets & second homes
Durable, easy-clean finishes and reliable showers matter most, and work can be scheduled between bookings where possible.

Why homeowners in Torbay choose Alex
Built for the coast
Waterproofing, extraction and quality materials matter even more by the sea. I never cut corners on preparation.
Period property experience
Older Torquay villas often hide uneven walls and old pipework. I make sure the plumbing, carpentry and plastering are put right properly.

Plan Your Bathroom →Questions from Torbay homeowners
Do you cover all of Torbay?+
Yes. I cover Torquay, Paignton, Brixham and the surrounding areas, including Babbacombe, Preston, Churston and Marldon.
What does a luxury bathroom cost in Torquay?+
Every bathroom in Torbay is designed and priced individually, depending on the size of the room, the layout and the products you choose. After a home consultation I’ll provide a clear, detailed quotation.
Can you work on older or listed properties?+
I have a lot of experience with period homes, from levelling walls to rerouting pipework. For listed buildings, please mention it when you get in touch so we can plan accordingly.
What about holiday lets and second homes?+
I’m happy to design bathrooms for holiday lets and second homes, with hard-wearing, easy-clean finishes, and I’ll try to schedule work around your bookings.
How do you deal with condensation by the sea?+
Ventilation is planned from the start, with the right extractor in the right place, and the walls and floor are fully waterproofed beneath the tiles.
Do you supply the bathroom products?+
Yes. Choose from my brochure, or I can source almost any brand you’ve seen elsewhere, so there’s nothing for you to coordinate.
