We really value expertise, and The Bathroom Studio delivers it with over 50 years of refining their craft. Since 2008, the family-owned business has been run by Graham and Michelle Shank, continuing a legacy of quality and care.
Graham Shank has a background in art and design, holding an HND from Sunderland University, which is evident in his work. His keen eye for detail and style is evident in the studio’s layouts, which feel well-balanced and visually appealing.
Their award-winning showroom is an impressive space featuring more than 65 complete bathroom displays. From timeless classics to sleek, contemporary designs, we love how the rooms seamlessly blend both current trends and enduring styles.
What truly sets them apart is their customisation offer. Every design is tailored to reflect the client’s individual lifestyle, taste, and needs. The process is also deeply collaborative and personal, perfect for those who are hands-on with their projects.
Additionally, they work closely with brands like Roper Rhodes and Duravit for their proven quality and durability.
However, some clients have noted that project timelines didn’t always match expectations, so delays are possible.
Outstanding design and craftsmanship
“We are so happy with our new bathroom from The Bathroom Studio! The whole process has been brilliant: from the professional and talented planning and designing by Michelle (who came up with some tremendous ideas) to the impeccable finish and craftsmanship of Andrew. We had the bathroom done while we were away on holiday, and we came home to a completed installation. An outstanding job. All clean and tidy too. (Thanks Andrew!) The whole team at The Bathroom Studio are very friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend them!”

Smooth and professional service
“Great service from start to finish. Michelle was very thorough with her designs and created something we were truly happy with. We were able to get the work started quickly and the whole process ran smoothly and to time. Andrew (plumber) who fitted the bathroom did an excellent job and communicated well with us throughout the work. Would highly recommend using this company. Thank you for our wonderful new bathroom!”

2. Simply Group
Address: Peregrine Way NE15 9FE
Contact Details: +44 737 974 3329
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Sunday: Open 24 hours
After working with Simply Group, we can genuinely say they’re one of those rare family-run businesses that really understand how to treat rental properties with care.
Right from the start, we could tell they brought years of solid experience in bathroom renovations, kitchen makeovers, and those media wall installations that instantly level up a living room.
What impressed us most was their tiled bathroom package. It’s a well-thought-out, all-in-one setup that includes walk-in stone resin shower trays and dual-head thermostatic showers. For us, it made the renovation process significantly simpler and less stressful.
We also appreciated their chrome towel radiator with a ladder design. Not only does it look sleek, but the reflective finish actually brightens the space, and it does a great job of warming and drying towels.
Additionally, one thing we particularly liked about Simply Group was the flexibility of their financing options. They’ve also got a refer-a-friend program, which was a nice bonus. Plus, they seem to run a pretty solid promo now and then (we saw £500 off clad bathrooms).
But to be fair, it’s not without the occasional hiccups. We did hear from others about minor delays or small post-installation fixes.
Reliable and responsive
“Couldn’t recomend the Simply group any more than I could. They gave me a date and time when they would start my new bathroom and they didn’t let me down. We had full communication from start to finish. Nothing was an issue for them, even answering questions late into the evening when you think of things to ask or say. Even when small issues raised their head during the install, these were dealt with fast and professionally. Nothing was a problem. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Simply Group for your new bathroom. Barty & Debbie are always available to answer any concerns or worries you may have.”

Expert craftsmanship for old homes
“This is well overdue. Had my bathroom installed September 2024. Should have just went with Simply Group from the start rather than looking elsewhere. The work carried out has been fantastic. Everything that I’ve asked for has been done. They covered all aspects of the job from the plumbing to the electrics, so no reliance on other trades to come in. Any issues that occurred was dealt with. My house was an old Victorian house so I had some challenges that they sorted out. Could not be more happier with the outcome of the bathroom. Hope the pictures show how amazing the result of the finished bathroom.”

3. Makeover Bathrooms
Address: 14 Oaklands, Swalwell
Contact Details: +44 795 849 4850
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Sunday: Open 24 hours
We recently checked out Makeover Bathrooms, and what really impressed us was their all-in-one approach. They handle everything in-house. Yes, that includes plumbing, tiling, and electrical work, which significantly reduces delays.
One thing we genuinely appreciated was their no-deposit, no-payment-until-completion policy. In a world where you’re often asked to hand over cash before anything even starts, this felt transparent.
They also back their work with a 12-month guarantee and only use fully insured, in-house specialists. Knowing that everything is handled by their own vetted team added another layer of trust for us.
Where they really shine, though, is in the balance between function and style. They don’t just slap on tiles and call it a day; they include thoughtful upgrades like energy-efficient underfloor heating and wall-hung fixtures that are both sleek and easy to clean.
The eco-conscious touches, like water-saving fittings and sustainable materials, were the cherry on top.
However, they don’t have a physical showroom to visit. But their virtual consultations and digital presentations were incredibly detailed.
Large conversions done right
“Carl is fantastic at what he does and takes pride in his work to perfection. He took on a very large bathroom conversion, making 2 rooms 1. There was nothing that bothered him he was always too willing to help with anything, including the design. The price was fair , and the time scale was completed on time. I would highly recommend this company. Thank you, Carl and colleague, for all your hard work and giving me a beautiful bathroom.”
- Michael Edmundson, Google Review
Efficient and tidy full refits
“Thanks to Carl, Walter and James for a first class job. From receiving the initial quote to the completion of the job they were professional, competent and friendly. We had a full bathroom refit and Carl was very helpful, making some good suggestions and giving us other things to think about. They arrived at 9am each day and put in a full days work, completing the full refit in 5 days as originally promised.They treated our house with respect, tidying up each day and removing all rubbish. We have no hesitation in highly recommending Makeover Bathrooms.”

4. JMA Bathrooms
Address: 14 Tanfield Rd
Contact Details: +44 775 338 4815
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Sunday: 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM
A friend recently had their bathroom renovated by JMA Bathrooms, and from everything we saw and heard, the whole process was surprisingly effortless. From the initial phone call to the final tile, the team handled everything with impressive skill and attention to detail.
They went with the Full Bathroom Package, and the team from JMA Bathrooms delivered. From the bath to the lighting, everything was installed with care, and the end result looked like something straight out of a high-end hotel.
The free 3D design stands out. It provides a crystal-clear view of what the final space would look like, and even when the team wanted to make small changes, they easily adapted.
However, there’s more: they also offer a Self-3D Design option, allowing you to take a more hands-on approach, which still comes with expert support.
Their pricing is also transparent. Everything is laid out, with no hidden fees or surprise add-ons. But just a heads-up: their pricing can be a bit higher than some other companies.
Professional and pleasant
“Brilliant job, very efficient workers, protected carpeting taking care of our property. Cleaned up afterwards, took old bath away. Very clean company. Will employ again if I ever require further plumbing work. 5 stars don’t seem enough. Thank you very much. Not only good with job but also very pleasant.”
- Anne Bardon, Google Review
High-quality work
“David and James did a professional, great job! Quick to give a quote and get the job done quickly. Cleaned up afterwards and took great care during installation. Was able to offer excellent advise without too much pressure.”

5. The Walk In Shower Company
Address: Unit 1, Galaxy Business Park, Blaydon-on-Tyne
Contact Details: +44 736 894 7434
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Friday: 9:00 AM – 5:30 PM
- Saturday & Sunday: Closed
Another bathroom renovation recommendation from many is The Walk-In Shower Company. A friend of ours recently chose their “Bath Out, Shower In” package, which swaps old bathtubs for modern, accessible showers. It’s ideal for easy space updates.
The best part? They are trusted by institutions, both the RVI and Freeman Hospitals in Newcastle. Also, they’re checked and vetted partners of all 12 North East Local Authorities for home improvements and disability adaptations.
In line with this, the team’s focus on accessibility is a significant breakthrough. My friend’s mother has limited mobility, and the new walk-in shower made bathing safer and more independent for her. It was a meaningful upgrade for the whole family.
However, some clients have noted that certain walk-in shower designs offer less privacy compared to enclosed units. While not a common concern, it’s worth considering layout and screen options during the planning process.
Nevertheless, we still like their full bathroom refurbishment. They strip the space down to its basics, install new fixtures, and add energy-saving lights. Many clients would agree that the process is smooth and convenient.
Top-notch craftsmanship
“We have had a full bathroom refit and the quality of the survey, installation and workmanship have been excellent. As a Civil Engineer I could not have expected a better outcome. I have no hesitation recommending Scott, Chris and James for their professionalism, attention to detail and value for money. The finish was to a very high standard. The price was a fair price in my experience which made one of the quotes received look ridiculously expensive.”
- Conor McKernan, Google Review
No sales pressure, high standards
“This company were excellent from start to finish. From the first contact I made they have been really helpful, addressing all concerns my dad had without any sales pressure. The price is what’s quoted with no hidden extras. We’re delighted with the finished result, the work has been completed to a high standard and no mess to clear at the end of the day. I would highly recommend this company.”
