Commercial washrooms that stand up to daily use

Commercial bathroom installation covers toilets and washrooms in offices, shops, salons, cafés, workshops, community buildings and rental properties. The aim is different from a home bathroom: durability, easy cleaning, sensible water use and minimal downtime matter more than a showroom look.

It's for business owners, facilities managers and landlords who need washrooms refurbished or installed without juggling several contractors. DPB handles the plumbing and coordinates the joinery, plastering, electrics and flooring.

Most commercial clients come to us when facilities are worn out, unhygienic or regularly breaking down, when a unit is being fitted out, or when a rental property needs bringing up to standard between tenants.

Professional installation matters because commercial washrooms take far more use than a home bathroom. Cheap fittings and rushed installs mean repeated call-outs, closures and complaints. Getting it right once costs less over the life of the room.

What tired or badly fitted washrooms cost a business

In a commercial building, a washroom problem is also a staff, customer or tenant problem.

Closures and complaints

Out-of-order toilets and leaking basins frustrate staff and customers and reflect badly on the business.

Repeated repair bills

Patching up old systems over and over often costs more than a proper refurbishment.

Water damage to the building

Leaks in shared buildings can affect neighbouring units and stock.

Common mistakes we see

  • Choosing domestic-grade fittings for high-traffic washrooms.
  • Using several contractors with nobody responsible for the whole job.
  • Not planning work around trading hours, causing avoidable downtime.
  • Overlooking easy-clean finishes and accessible layouts.

Commercial bathroom options and considerations

Commercial jobs vary widely. These are the areas we plan carefully.

Fittings for heavy use

Robust toilets, basins and taps, with options such as wall-hung pans and concealed cisterns that make cleaning quicker and reduce tampering.

Finishes and hygiene

Wall and floor finishes are chosen to be durable and easy to keep clean, with fewer joints and edges for dirt to collect in.

Accessible facilities

Accessible toilets and washrooms need careful layout and the right fittings, such as grab rails and suitable door widths. These can be planned in from the start.

Rental and HMO properties

Landlords need bathrooms that survive tenant turnover and are quick to refresh. We can work to tight void periods between lets.

Working around your business

Scheduling is agreed at quote stage so the business can keep running wherever possible.

Commercial vs domestic

Domestic bathrooms prioritise comfort and style. Commercial washrooms prioritise durability, hygiene, accessibility and minimal downtime.

Planning a commercial washroom project

Define how the space is used

How many people use the washroom each day? Is it staff-only or customer-facing? Do you need accessible facilities? The answers decide the number of fittings, the layout and how hard-wearing the finishes need to be.

Agree the schedule early

For businesses that can't close, work can sometimes be phased so some facilities stay available. For rental properties, the aim is usually to complete within the void period. These details are agreed at quote stage, not on the day.

Think about cleaning and maintenance

Wall-hung fittings, concealed cisterns, fewer grout lines and easy-clean surfaces cut cleaning time every single day. Accessible isolation valves make future maintenance quicker and cheaper.

Water use

In busy washrooms, taps and cisterns are used constantly. Choosing sensible fittings helps keep water use under control over the life of the installation.

One contractor, one point of contact

Commercial jobs often involve plumbing, joinery, plastering, electrics and flooring. With DPB, Danny coordinates all of them, so the business owner or facilities manager has one person to speak to.

Shared buildings

In buildings with neighbouring units, leaks and noise can affect others. Planning access, isolation and working times with the building owner keeps disruption to a minimum.

Why one project manager matters

On most building jobs, delays happen in the gaps between trades: the plasterer can't start until the electrician has finished, and the tiler is booked before the walls are dry. Because Danny schedules every trade himself, those gaps are planned out. Customers regularly tell us the job was quicker and less stressful than they expected, and that they always knew who would be in the house and when.

After handover

Once the washroom is finished, everything is tested and the area is handed back clean and ready to use. You will know where the isolation valves are, which makes future maintenance simpler. The installation is covered by our 48-month workmanship guarantee and £2 million public liability insurance, and Danny remains your point of contact if anything needs attention.

Before you request a quote

It helps to know how many toilets, basins and urinals you need, whether accessible facilities are required, any times the building can't be disrupted, and who has access to the site. If you don't have all the answers, that's fine: Danny will work through them at the site survey.

Typical commercial projects

Office toilet refurbishments, shop and salon staff washrooms, café and restaurant facilities, workshop and unit fit-outs, community building toilets, and bathroom refurbishments in rental and multi-let properties. Each is planned around how the space is used day to day.

Commercial Bathroom Installation: common questions

How much does a commercial washroom refurbishment cost?

Every commercial job is priced individually after a site survey, because it depends on the number of facilities, the condition of supplies and drainage, and the finishes required.

Can you work around our opening hours?

Scheduling is discussed at the survey and agreed in the quote, so disruption is kept as short as possible.

Do you work for landlords?

Yes. We refurbish bathrooms in rental properties and can plan around void periods.

Are you insured for commercial work?

Yes. DPB carries £2 million public liability insurance.

Do you handle the electrics and flooring?

Yes. Danny coordinates the electricians, plasterers, joiners and floor fitters, so you have one contractor for the whole job.

What guarantee do you offer?

Bathroom installations carry a 48-month workmanship guarantee. Terms apply to fixtures and materials supplied by the customer.

Is the quote really free?

Yes. Quotes are free and there is no obligation. Danny visits, looks at the room, the pipework and the walls, and gives you a written price. If you decide not to go ahead, that's the end of it, no follow-up pressure.

Do you accept call-outs?

We don't run a 24/7 service. Bathroom work is planned and booked in. If you have a leak or a problem that can't wait, ring Danny on 07951 583606, if he's available, he'll come out.

Which areas do you cover?

We work across Wigan, Manchester, Preston, Leigh, Astley, Warrington, Worsley, Chorley, Ashton-in-Makerfield, Standish, Hindley and Atherton. If you're just outside those areas, ring Danny and ask.

Can you refurbish a washroom in phases?

Often, yes. Phasing lets part of the facilities stay open while the rest is refurbished. This is discussed at the site survey.

Do you fit accessible toilets?

Yes. Accessible facilities can be included, with suitable layouts and fittings such as grab rails planned in from the start.

Do you work in rental and multi-let properties?

Yes. We refurbish bathrooms for landlords and can plan around void periods and tenant access.
