In June 2025, Asletts was appointed to carry out a sensitive and meaningful refurbishment project in Tunbridge Wells. Following the passing of a family member, the homeowners wished to modernise all three bathrooms and refresh the home. Part of the brief included a structural knock-through to merge two smaller bathrooms into one spacious, luxurious suite.
Given the emotional circumstances, the project required a respectful approach, careful coordination, and a high level of finish throughout.
Client: Private Residential Project
Project Duration: Four Weeks
Completion Date: June 2025
Tunbridge Wells, Kent
The project presented both technical and personal challenges. The key objectives were to:
• Carry out a structural knock-through to merge two bathrooms into one larger, more luxurious space.
• Fully renovate all three bathrooms to a high specification.
• Deliver modern comfort features, including underfloor heating, upgraded lighting, and premium finishes.
• Complete all works efficiently and with sensitivity, providing reassurance during a difficult period for the homeowners.
Asletts’ experienced builders and bathroom renovation specialists managed the full scope of works, coordinating all trades in-house to ensure quality and consistency.
Structural Works
• Removal of the dividing wall between two bathrooms to create a single, enlarged main bathroom.
• Structural reinforcements carried out in line with building regulations.
• Complete redesign of the new layout to optimise space, flow, and comfort.
Bathroom Renovations
Each of the three bathrooms received a full refurbishment, including:
• Strip-out and preparation: Removal of all existing fixtures, fittings, tiles, and flooring, followed by fresh plastering throughout.
• Heating and flooring: Installation of modern underfloor heating systems and fully tiled floors and walls using premium tile ranges selected by the client.
• Electrical and lighting upgrades: New electrics and energy-efficient lighting, including feature lighting and improved task lighting.
• Plumbing and sanitaryware: Reconfigured plumbing layouts and installation of high-end sanitaryware, brassware, and shower systems.
• Finishing touches: Bespoke storage solutions and high-quality finishes to achieve a refined, luxurious aesthetic.
All works were completed within a four-week programme, with careful scheduling to ensure the project remained on track.
The transformation exceeded the homeowners’ expectations, delivering:
• A stunning, spacious main bathroom created through the structural knock-through.
• Two additional bathrooms fully modernised with elegant, high-end finishes.
• Improved comfort through underfloor heating in all bathrooms.
• Enhanced lighting, ventilation, and upgraded electrics.
• Flawless plastering and tiling throughout.
Beyond the physical improvements, the project helped restore a sense of comfort and calm within the home during a challenging time.

Client Feedback:
“After losing a close family member, we needed to renovate three bathrooms, including combining two into a larger space. It wasn’t an easy time, but Asletts supported us from start to finish with complete professionalism and care.
The quality of the work is outstanding. The underfloor heating, lighting, plastering and tiling have completely transformed each room. The main bathroom in particular feels luxurious and spacious, and the two additional bathrooms look modern, clean and beautifully finished.
The team worked efficiently, communicated clearly and completed everything within the four-week schedule. We are incredibly grateful for both the workmanship and the considerate approach taken throughout. We would highly recommend Asletts to anyone looking for high-end, reliable work.”
