Design Consultant
Our team lives and works in Essex. They know local properties, the best suppliers, and what works in homes around here.
Most bathroom companies sell you products and leave the rest to you. We 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 — handle the build end-to-end with us, or use your own tradesperson and we'll work with them directly.
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.

Every project follows the same structured process, whether you're using your own fitter or ours. Each stage is agreed before the next begins.
Visit our Leigh-on-Sea showroom or we come to you. We listen to what you're looking for, discuss your budget, and agree on priorities. No pressure, no commitment.
We visit your home in Rayleigh, take precise laser measurements, and check everything technical — plumbing, electrics, ventilation. This is how we make sure the design works perfectly in your space.
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.

We place all orders, track stock, and coordinate delivery to match your installation schedule. No chasing suppliers, no missing parts.
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.
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.
“Fantastic team who helped us from design stage all the way through to completion. The quality of the work and products are superb. We would use them again for future works.”

However your bathroom gets built, we're behind the project. Here's how most of our clients work with us.
Your Own Tradesperson
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.
Our Approved Installers
Bowmans handles the build end-to-end — vetted, insured fitters who already know our product range and standards, with a workmanship warranty on every install we manage. Either way, we stay involved from start to finish.
We also offer a fully managed installation route for clients who'd like us to handle every aspect of the build, with a workmanship warranty on installations completed by our network.
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 the scope of your project. If you have us handle the install, 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 free showroom visit for a tailored quote.
Whether we're handling the install or you're using your own tradesperson, the installer gets everything they need to deliver the design precisely.
Precise layout drawings showing every product position, pipe run, and electrical point — nothing left to guesswork.
Full technical data for every product — dimensions, clearances, water pressure requirements — so installation is precise.
We stay available throughout the build. If a question comes up on site, we're a phone call away — and we check in to make sure everything's going smoothly.
Every product in your bathroom is chosen for durability, design integrity, and long-term performance — not because it's on promotion. All available to view in our showroom.
A selection of completed bathroom design projects across South Essex.
Rayleigh's housing stock is varied — from Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the High Street to 1930s semis along the Eastwood Road corridor and modern family homes across the wider SS6 area. Each presents different challenges when it comes to bathroom design.
Older properties often have restricted void depth, legacy pipe routes, and uneven walls. 1930s and 1950s semis frequently need plumbing rerouted around original soil stacks. Larger family homes in the Downhall and Rawreth areas may need multiple bathrooms 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. It's the difference between a bathroom that looks good on paper and one that actually works in your home.

David Sims — Benfleet
“So happy that we found Bowmans to create our dream bathroom. We really enjoyed the process of visiting the showroom, chatting through the design with Jonnie and Katie — who had some great ideas within our budget — seeing tiles, taps etc in person and then seeing the detailed designs before approval so we could be sure everything was how we wanted it.
The install process was also great, Paul did a wonderful meticulous job ensuring no corners were cut and the finish is perfect.”
C Golding — Ingatestone
“I’ve waited a couple of weeks before posting this review as I wanted to make sure everything was good and I have to say that I still love our new bathroom as much today as the day it was handed over. The whole experience with Bowman’s from the moment we walked into the showroom to the final day of installation was exceptional.
Throughout the design stage Verity listened to our ideas and feedback and provided multiple design alterations until we had the perfect outcome. Our fitter, Stefan was superb! He explained what was being done every step of the way and checked in regularly to make sure we were happy.
Overall, it’s the best piece of work we’ve ever had done in the house and couldn’t recommend Bowman’s highly enough.”
