Beams nailed it. I set them an unreasonably short deadline to redo the family bathroom while we were away on holiday. I expected to come back to a house full of contractors, instead I came back to a house with a brand new bathroom. Basically the home refurbishment fantasy.

We had been dreading re-doing our bathrooms and had put it off for years. But Beams made the whole process totally painless! I felt in control and supported through the entire project.

They have been extremely efficient and reassuring. It was a complex project but they took it all in their stride. They recommended very good contractors who were all punctual, polite and capable.

Bathroom renovation and refurbishment in Kensington

Whether you are refitting a family bathroom in a Holland Park terrace or adding an en-suite in a Kensington High Street mansion flat, Beams designs, supplies and installs your bathroom in one place. Vetted bathroom fitters carry out the work, with clear fixed pricing agreed before anything starts.

Built by trusted bathroom fitters in Kensington

Every Beams bathroom fitter is personally vetted, with references and recent work checked before they reach you. You get up to three like-for-like quotes to compare, a fixed-price contract, and a 12-month workmanship warranty on completion, whether the project is a straightforward refit or a full reconfiguration of a period bathroom.

Types of bathroom we renovate

Full bathroom refurbishment: A complete refit, from suite and tiling to lighting and heating.

En-suite bathrooms: Adding or renovating an en-suite off a bedroom.

Wet rooms: Level-access, fully tiled showering spaces.

Walk-in showers: A shower-only reconfiguration for smaller or awkward spaces, common in period conversions.

Bespoke bathrooms, quality materials, great prices

Every bathroom is designed around your space and specified with quality sanitaryware, tiling and fittings, whether you want a classic scheme suited to a period property or something more contemporary. Our designers help you choose materials that work for the room and the budget, without compromising on quality where it matters.

What a bathroom renovation costs in Kensington

There is no flat rate. What a bathroom renovation costs in Kensington depends on the size of the room, the specification and whether any layout or plumbing changes are involved. Kensington is one of London's most expensive property markets, with the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea recording an average house price of around £1,233,000 in the year to July 2026 (ONS and HM Land Registry, provisional), so bathroom specification and cost here tend to sit toward the top of the London range.

Based on Beams estimates for London bathroom renovation projects, these figures are a general guide rather than a fixed quote. A straightforward like-for-like refit sits at the lower end, while a larger bathroom with a full layout change or premium fittings sits higher. Your fitter confirms a fixed price once the design is agreed.

Why a new bathroom is worth it

A dated or poorly laid out bathroom is one of the quickest things a buyer notices, particularly in a market as competitive as Kensington's. A well-designed bathroom renovation improves daily life immediately and, done to a good standard, tends to add real value alongside the improvement in how the home works.

Renovating a bathroom in Kensington

Kensington's period stock, from Holland Park's stucco terraces to the mansion blocks off Kensington High Street, often means bathrooms are smaller or more awkwardly shaped than in newer housing, and plumbing runs are not always where you would choose them. Much of the borough sits within one of RBKC's 38 conservation areas, though most internal bathroom refurbishments do not require planning permission provided the external appearance of the building is unchanged. Our fitters know how to make the most of a Kensington bathroom's proportions, whether that means a clever wet room layout in a compact mews house or restoring period detailing alongside a full refit.
