Luxury bathrooms in Totnes
Characterful homes, carefully considered bathrooms
Totnes is full of character, from historic townhouses near the high street to cottages in Dartington, Harberton and the villages along the Dart. Bathrooms in older homes rarely follow straight lines, and that’s where careful planning pays off.
I’ll help you strike the right balance between period charm and modern comfort, whether that means traditional sanitaryware and panelling or a calm, contemporary shower room.
Totnes is an easy drive from my Newton Abbot base, so I can visit, measure up properly and talk through ideas in your home before anything is decided.
What I create
Bathroom services in Totnes
Complete bathrooms in Totnes
Older Totnes homes often have bathrooms that have been altered piecemeal over many years. A complete renovation lets us start again properly, levelling walls, updating pipework and designing a layout that suits the room’s shape, with finishes that feel right in a characterful home.
Wet rooms & walk-in showers in Totnes
Even in a cottage, a walk-in shower can work beautifully. Natural stone or stone-effect tiles, a simple glass panel and a rainfall shower bring a calm, modern feel without fighting the building’s character. Thick walls are also perfect for deep, built-in niches.
En-suites & shower rooms in Totnes
Adding an en-suite under the eaves or in a small adjoining room is a popular way to make an older home more practical. Sloping ceilings and odd corners need careful planning, but they often make the most interesting shower rooms.
Cloakrooms in Totnes
In a historic townhouse, a cloakroom is the perfect place for something bolder, such as a heritage paint colour, panelling, a traditional basin or a statement tile. Small rooms are where character really shows.
Accessible bathrooms in Totnes
For homeowners planning ahead, level-access showers, comfortable heights and good lighting can be designed into even an older property, with materials chosen to suit the home rather than look clinical.

Plan Your Bathroom →Questions from Totnes homeowners
Do you work on listed or period properties?+
I have lots of experience with older homes. If your property is listed, mention it when you get in touch so we can plan the work around any permissions you may need.
How much does a new bathroom cost in Totnes?+
Every bathroom in Totnes 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 around sloping ceilings and small spaces?+
Yes. Awkward rooms often make the most interesting bathrooms, with clever storage, niches and carefully chosen fittings making the most of every corner.
Do you cover the villages around Totnes?+
Yes, including Dartington, Harberton, Ashprington, Staverton and Stoke Gabriel.
Can I have a modern bathroom in an old house?+
Of course. Many of the best bathrooms in older homes combine a contemporary shower and fittings with natural materials that suit the building.
Will the work affect original features?+
Protecting what makes your home special is part of the plan. We’ll agree beforehand what’s staying, and it’s protected throughout the work.
