What We Do

Bathroom designers in Chelmsford — a complete design and supply service

Looking for a bathroom designer near Chelmsford? Most bathroom companies sell you products and leave the rest to you. Our designers do it differently. We design your bathroom around your space — whether that's a master ensuite, family bathroom, wetroom, shower room, guest ensuite or cloakroom — source every product, coordinate delivery, and stay involved right through installation with your own tradesperson or one of our approved fitters.

You get a complete 3D design before anything is ordered. A fixed-price specification with no surprises. Installation drawings and technical support so your fitter has everything they need. And we're a phone call away throughout the build.

The design service is free. You only pay for the products you choose. See 25+ completed projects across Essex to see the standard we work to.

How It Works

Six steps from first idea to finished bathroom

Every project follows the same structured process, whether you're using your own fitter or ours. Each stage is agreed before the next begins.

  1. 01

    We talk about what you want

    Visit our Braintree showroom or we come to you in Chelmsford. We listen to what you're looking for, discuss your budget, and agree on priorities. No pressure, no commitment.

  2. 02

    We measure your space

    We visit your home in Chelmsford, take precise laser measurements, and check everything technical — plumbing, electrics, ventilation. This is how we make sure the design works perfectly in your space.

  3. 03

    You see your bathroom before it's built

    We create 3D visuals so you can see exactly how it will look. You choose every tile, tap, and finish. Nothing is ordered until you're completely happy — and the price is fixed at this point.

  4. 04

    We order everything and manage delivery

    We place all orders, track stock, and coordinate delivery to match your installation schedule. No chasing suppliers, no missing parts.

  5. 05

    We support the installation

    Your fitter gets detailed installation drawings, product specifications, and fitting guidance. We stay available throughout the build to answer questions and make sure everything matches the design.

  6. 06

    Aftercare & support

    Once your bathroom is finished, we hand over care guides and product manuals. All manufacturer warranties are registered. If anything needs attention down the line, we're still here.

“We’re absolutely delighted with the service we received from Bowman Bathrooms. They really got our design brief and their extensive knowledge of products and current trends was invaluable in helping us choose the right items for our bathroom refit. We would highly recommend Bowman Bathrooms.”

Installation

Installation that works around you

However your bathroom gets built, we're behind the project. Here's how most of our clients work with us.

Your Own Tradesperson

Already have someone you trust?

Great — we'll work with them directly. Our designer can meet them on site, brief them on the specification, and we provide everything they need to install to the design exactly.

  • Installation drawings and product data provided
  • On-site briefing with your fitter available
  • Direct support line throughout the build
  • All manufacturer warranties included

Our Approved Installers

Need us to arrange installation?

We'll match you with a vetted, insured installer from our approved network. They already know our products and standards, and we stay involved from start to finish.

We also offer a fully project-managed option for clients who'd like us to handle every aspect of the build, including a 3-year workmanship warranty.

Investment

What does a bathroom design and supply package cost?

For products only — cloakrooms start from around £3,000. Full bathrooms typically fall between £6,000 and £15,000+ depending on room size, specification level and product choices. That's the cost of everything we design and supply: sanitaryware, brassware, tiles, lighting, heating, furniture and accessories.

Installation is separate and depends on who does the work and the scope of your project. If you use our approved installers, we can provide an indication of installation costs during the design phase.

The most accurate budgeting happens once scope is defined. Use our Price Guide for room-specific product pricing, or book a consultation for a tailored quote.

Local Knowledge

Bathroom design & renovation for Chelmsford homes

Chelmsford's housing stock is one of the most varied in Essex — from Victorian terraces around Moulsham (CM1), Edwardian family homes in Springfield, 1930s semis across Broomfield and Galleywood, to modern developments at Beaulieu Park and Chelmer Village. Each presents different challenges when it comes to bespoke bathroom design.

Period properties in Old Moulsham and Writtle often have uneven walls, low ceiling heights, legacy waste runs, and restricted access. Modern estate homes frequently need upgrading from builder-grade specifications. Larger homes in Great Baddow, Danbury and Stock often call for a luxury bathroom approach — multiple rooms designed as a coordinated suite.

We account for all of this during the design phase — before products are ordered and before your fitter starts work. Our Braintree showroom is just 20 minutes from central Chelmsford, where you can see and approve every material in person. If you're south of the city, our Leigh-on-Sea showroom is around 25 minutes from Great Baddow and Galleywood.

Client Reviews

What Our Chelmsford Clients Say

★★★★★

“We’re absolutely delighted with the service we received from Bowman Bathrooms. They really got our design brief and their extensive knowledge of products and current trends was invaluable in helping us choose the right items for our bathroom refit.

The after-sales service was excellent — Jamie dealt with any issues that arose promptly and without fuss. The whole team were friendly, reliable, and professional. We would highly recommend Bowman Bathrooms.”

Rob Wilson — Great Baddow (CM2)

★★★★★

“So pleased with our two cloakrooms from Bowman Bathrooms. Both unique and tasteful in their design, and fantastic care and attention to detail from Jonny and the team.

Fitting was a work of perfection from Pete and Dean, with Jamie always on hand if any issues arise (they didn’t). Smooth excellent experience from start to finish and would thoroughly recommend Bowman’s.”

Tony Double — Hatfield Peverel (CM3)

★★★★★

“We used Bowman for the design and supply of our new bathroom. They were great throughout the process and helping us bring our vision to life — making recommendations and ensuring every little detail was thought of.

We also went through their recommended fitters… they were equally superb. Very considerate, tidy and worked so hard to make sure everything came together as we wanted it. We are so pleased with the finished bathroom.”

Robyn Margetts — Great Waltham (CM3)

Chelmsford Bathroom FAQs

Common questions from homeowners in Chelmsford and surrounding villages.

We design your bathroom, source every product, and stay involved through the entire build. You get a complete 3D design, a fixed-price product specification, coordinated delivery — and we remain on hand throughout installation to make sure everything goes to plan. We're a design and supply company that stays with the project from first idea to finished room.
Either works. Most of our clients either have their own trusted tradesperson or use one of our approved installers. If you have someone you trust, we'll work with them directly — providing installation drawings, product specifications and hands-on support throughout the build. If you need a fitter, we'll match you with a vetted, insured installer from our approved network who already knows our products and standards.
For products only — cloakrooms start from around £3,000, and full bathrooms typically fall between £6,000 and £15,000+ depending on room size, specification level and product choices. That covers everything we design and supply. Installation is separate and depends on who does the work and the scope of your project. Use our Price Guide for room-specific product pricing, or book a consultation for a tailored quote.
Yes. We regularly design bathrooms in period homes across the Chelmsford area, including Old Moulsham, Writtle and surrounding villages. These properties often have uneven walls, restricted void depth, legacy pipe routes or low ceilings. We account for all of this during the design phase — before products are ordered and before your fitter starts work.
Our Braintree showroom is about 20 minutes from central Chelmsford, on Springwood Drive (CM7 2YN). You can explore materials, try taps and showers, and talk through your ideas with our design team. If you live south of Chelmsford — Great Baddow, Galleywood or Danbury — our Leigh-on-Sea showroom is around 25 minutes away with the same products and team. We recommend booking an appointment so we can give you proper time.
We work with homeowners across Chelmsford and the surrounding CM1, CM2 and CM3 postcode areas, including Great Baddow, Springfield, Writtle, Galleywood, Boreham, Broomfield, Chelmer Village, Danbury, Little Baddow, Stock and Ingatestone. Wherever you are locally, the process is the same.
We stay available throughout the build — if a question comes up on site, we're a phone call away. All products come with full manufacturer warranties, and we handle warranty registration and any product support after completion. If you use our approved installers, their workmanship is also covered.
We work with leading bathroom brands including Crosswater, Hansgrohe, Axor, Geberit, Roper Rhodes, BC Designs, JTP, Porcelanosa, Ca' Pietra and HIB, among others. All products can be viewed at our Braintree showroom, 20 minutes from Chelmsford.
It depends on the complexity. For a straightforward room, the design phase can take just a few days. For larger or more complex projects — multiple rooms, structural changes, bespoke elements — it's normal for design to take a couple of weeks or more. Product lead times range from 2 to 12 weeks depending on availability, with special-order items sometimes taking longer. For installation timelines, speak with your chosen fitter as these vary depending on the scope of work. We coordinate product delivery to match your installation schedule.
