Is your electrician qualified?

Yes. Electrical work is carried out by a qualified electrician on our team. Every subcontractor we use is vetted and Which? endorsed — we do not hand your home to whoever happens to be free that week.

How much does bathroom electrical work cost?

On a full bathroom or kitchen installation the electrics are included in the fixed price quoted after the survey. Standalone work is quoted free, or charged at an hourly rate for smaller jobs, typically £60 per hour depending on the work.

Can you replace an extractor fan that never clears the room?

Yes, and we will check the duct route as well as the fan. Most extraction failures are caused by an undersized fan or a duct that terminates in a loft void rather than outside, so replacing the fan alone would not fix it.

Can you fit downlights and mirror lighting in a bathroom?

Yes, with fittings appropriate to the zone they sit in. Lighting is planned at first fix so cable routes are in place before boarding and tiling.

Can you install an electric shower?

Yes. We assess the existing cable, protection and isolation against the rating of the shower you want, and tell you before purchase if the supply needs upgrading to suit it.

Do you install underfloor heating?

Yes, electric underfloor heating is laid at first fix under a tiled floor, with the thermostat positioned outside the wet zone. It is one of the most effective additions to a tiled bathroom.

Is the electrical work guaranteed?

Parts and workmanship carry a one-year guarantee, and we hold £2 million public liability insurance.

Do I need a separate electrician if you fit my bathroom?

No — that is the point of how we work. Plumbing, electrics, plastering and tiling are handled by our own team on one schedule, so there is nothing for you to arrange or chase.

Which areas do you cover for electrical work?

Ampthill, Flitwick, Bedford, Luton, Dunstable, Milton Keynes, Hitchin, Harpenden, St Albans and the surrounding Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire villages.

Can you deal with an urgent electrical fault in a bathroom?

Electrical work in bathrooms and kitchens, handled in one job

Bathrooms are the most tightly regulated room in a house for electrical work, because water and electricity are separated only by correct product selection and correct positioning. Fittings are governed by zones measured from the bath and shower, which determine what may be installed where and to what protection rating. Lighting, extraction, electric showers, underfloor heating, shaver points, heated mirrors and towel rails all have to be specified and positioned against those rules.

Our qualified electrician works as part of the Four Seasons Bathrooms team, on the same schedule as the plumbing and tiling. That matters practically: first-fix wiring has to happen while walls and floors are open, before boarding, tanking and tiling. When the electrician is a separate contractor booked independently, that window is the thing that slips — and a bathroom cannot be finished around missing cable.

The electrical work is included in the fixed price for a full bathroom or kitchen installation. Standalone electrical work — replacing an extractor, adding mirror lighting, changing an electric shower, dealing with a shaver point — is quoted or charged at an hourly rate depending on scope, and quotes are always free.

Who this is for

Customers having a bathroom or kitchen fitted

Electrics scheduled inside the same job so first fix happens at the right moment and nothing waits on an outside contractor.

Homeowners upgrading lighting or extraction

Downlights, mirror lighting and properly sized extraction fitted into an existing room to deal with dim light and persistent condensation.

Anyone replacing an electric shower

Where an existing unit has failed, the cable and protection have to be right for the rating of the new shower, not just the old one.

People adding heating and comfort items

Underfloor heating, heated towel rails, heated mirrors and shaver sockets installed in the correct zone with appropriate protection.

Why bathroom electrics are not general handyman work

In a bathroom the consequences of a poor electrical decision are immediate and physical. A fitting installed in the wrong zone, or without the ingress protection that position requires, sits in a place where it will regularly meet steam and spray. Moisture in a fitting or a junction leads to corrosion, tracking, tripping circuits and, in the worst case, a shock risk in a room where the occupant is wet and barefoot.

The other failure is quieter but affects every bathroom eventually: inadequate extraction. An extractor that is undersized, ducted into a loft void instead of outside, or wired so it never runs long enough to clear the room leaves moisture in the air. That moisture goes into plaster and grout. Mould appears in corners and along sealant lines, paint peels, and the room that was refitted two years ago starts to look tired. Homeowners usually blame the tiling or the sealant when the real cause is ventilation.

Cable sizing on high-load items is the third area where corners get cut. Electric showers and underfloor heating draw significant current, and a circuit that was adequate for the old unit may not be for the new one. Under-rated cable and inappropriate protection cause nuisance tripping at best and overheating at worst. None of this is visible after the tiles go on, which is exactly why it needs doing correctly the first time.

Common mistakes we are called in to fix

Fitting lights or sockets without regard to bathroom zones and required ingress protection.
Replacing an electric shower with a higher-rated unit on the existing cable and protection.
Ducting an extractor into a loft or ceiling void instead of to outside air.
Choosing an extractor too small for the room, or with no overrun, so the room never actually clears.
Leaving joints and connections buried behind tiling where they cannot be inspected or reached.
Leaving bathroom wiring to a general builder during a refit rather than a qualified electrician.

How the job runs

Survey and assessment

We look at the existing circuits, consumer unit, extraction route and the positions you want lighting, heating and controls, then confirm what is achievable in the room's zones.

Specification and price

Fittings, protection, cable routes and duct runs are specified and included in the fixed price for a refit, or quoted separately for standalone work.

First fix while walls are open

Cables run, back boxes set, extraction ducting installed to outside and underfloor heating mats laid before boarding, tanking and tiling begin.

Second fix and connection

Lighting, extraction, showers, shaver points, mirrors and heating controls fitted and connected once the room is tiled and decorated.

Testing and demonstration

Circuits are tested, protection verified, extraction checked for actual airflow, and controls demonstrated at handover. Parts and workmanship carry a one-year guarantee.

What you actually get

No third-party delay

The electrician is on our team and on our schedule, so first fix happens in the right week and the job keeps moving.

Correct fittings for the zone

Products chosen for where they are actually going, with appropriate protection, rather than whatever looked good in the showroom.

Ventilation that actually works

Extraction sized for the room and ducted to outside air, which is the single most effective way to protect new plaster, grout and paint.

Safe loads on high-draw items

Electric showers and underfloor heating installed on cable and protection matched to their rating, not inherited from the previous unit.

One point of responsibility

Plumbing, electrics and tiling all sit with one contractor, so nobody can blame the trade before them if something is not right.

Insured, endorsed and guaranteed

£2 million public liability insurance, Which? Trusted Trader endorsement, vetted subcontractors and a one-year guarantee on parts and workmanship.

Bathroom and kitchen electrical detail

These are the electrical elements that come up most often on installations across Ampthill, Flitwick, Bedford, Luton and the surrounding towns, and what each one needs to be right.

Zones, ingress protection and fitting choice

Bathroom zones are measured from the bath and shower and dictate what may be installed at each position and to what protection rating. Every light, socket, switch and heated item is selected against the zone it lands in, and pull cords or remote switching are used where a wall switch would not be permitted.

Lighting design and mirror lighting

Downlights positioned to light the room evenly rather than in a single central pool, with separate mirror or shaver lighting where a face needs to be lit properly. Dimmable and colour-temperature choices are worth making before first fix because they affect the fittings and switching used.

Extraction and duct runs

Extractor selection is a function of room size and shower use. Timer overrun, humidity sensing and inline fans all have their place. The duct run matters as much as the fan: the shortest practical route to outside air, properly supported and terminated, with insulated duct through cold voids to stop condensation forming inside it.

Electric showers and high-load circuits

Electric showers need cable, protection and isolation matched to their kilowatt rating and the run length. When replacing an old unit, the existing supply is assessed before a new shower is chosen, not after it has been bought.

Underfloor heating and towel rails

Electric underfloor mats are laid at first fix under the tiled floor with the sensor positioned so it can be replaced, and controlled by a thermostat outside the wet zone. Heated towel rails can be plumbed, electric or dual fuel, which changes what has to be provided at first fix.

Kitchen electrics

Appliance circuits, isolation for built-in appliances, socket positions planned around worktop use, under-cabinet lighting and extraction. All of it set out before units are fixed, because a socket behind a cabinet is useless.

Older wiring and existing installations

In older Bedfordshire properties the existing circuits and consumer unit may not support what is planned. We assess that at survey and tell you honestly what needs upgrading before we start, rather than adding load to an installation that cannot take it.
