Tall rooms
High ceilings and original features are kept in the design. The plumbing, carpentry and plastering underneath are corrected so the finish is crisp.

Bathroom fitters in Torquay
Luxury bathrooms for villas, family and sea-view homes
Alexander James Projects designs and installs bathrooms in Torquay, including the villas of Wellswood, the Lincombes and St Marychurch. Alex runs the work from Newton Abbot.
Many Torquay villas have generous, high-ceilinged bathrooms that suit a freestanding bath and a separate walk-in shower. The walls and pipework behind that look often need putting right first.

Why this page is specific
Specialists serving Torquay
This page is about Torquay’s villas and the practicalities of a tall, older house. Paignton’s bungalows and Brixham’s hillside cottages are separate pages. Coastal ventilation still applies, and it is spelled out on the Torbay page.
About 20 minutes
Torquay is about 20 minutes from the Newton Abbot base, so the visit and the checks during the work are straightforward.
Any brand
You are not limited to one showroom. The brochure, almost any brand, or items you supply yourself can all be part of the quotation.

Local notes
What to know about bathrooms in Torquay
Villas in Wellswood, the Lincombes and St Marychurch
The existing Torbay copy names these districts for grand villas with tall ceilings and original features, and for uneven walls and old pipework. A statement layout, a bath under a tall window, a separate shower, only works if that structure is sorted first.
The same houses can take a calmer contemporary room. The choice is the design. The preparation is not optional.
Villas and sea-view rooms
Wellswood, the Lincombes and St Marychurch are known for tall rooms. A freestanding bath and a separate shower suit many of them, once the walls and pipework are put right. Waterproofing is planned properly.
Sea air
Humidity and salt still apply on this coast. Extraction and fully waterproofed walls and floors are planned at the start.
Everything included
A bathroom includes design, sourcing, strip-out, plumbing, carpentry, plastering, full waterproofing, tiling and finishing. The quote is itemised, including electrics, decorating, waste and the skip. A typical project takes 4–8 weeks. If this is your only bathroom, the work is phased to keep disruption down. There is no temporary WC.
Questions from Torquay
How much does a new bathroom cost in Torquay?
The price depends on the size of the room and the specification. Every quote is fully itemised, and the home consultation is free.
Can I see a Torquay bathroom?
The portfolio shows finished rooms. Property locations are not published.
How long does it take to fit a bathroom in Torquay?
It depends on the room, any layout changes and what is found once the old suite is out. Alexander James Projects agrees a plan before work starts in Torquay and confirms product deliveries first, so the installation is not waiting on items.
What should I ask a bathroom fitter?
Ask who you will deal with day to day, what the quote includes (preparation, waterproofing, tiling, products), how changes are agreed, and what happens when the job is finished. With Alexander James Projects the answer to the first question is Alex, from the visit to the final finish.
Can I choose my own products?
Yes. You can choose from the brochure, ask for almost any brand, or supply some items yourself so the quotation reflects that.
Will I deal with more than one person?
No. Alex designs, sources and manages the project. A small team of trusted trades works with him. There is no salesperson in between.
Can I stay at home while the work is done?
Most people do. If the room is your only bathroom, how you will manage during the work is agreed before it starts.
How do I compare bathroom quotes?
Check that each quote includes the same preparation, waterproofing, plumbing, tiling and finishing, and whether products are included. A lower figure sometimes means less of that work is in the price.
