About us
A small studio with a long memory for detail.
ML-BATHROOMS designs, supplies and fits bathrooms for homeowners across County Durham and the wider North East. Two showrooms, one team, and a preference for doing things once and properly.
How we started
Built around one frustration.
Too many homeowners were being handed a showroom quote, then a separate fitter's quote, then a third bill for the things nobody had mentioned. We wanted one conversation, one drawing and one price — with the people who designed the room also responsible for building it.
That is still how we work. The two showrooms hold the full material library, and the installation team works from the same drawings the design team produced.
What we hold to
Four things that don't change from room to room.
Design that starts with the room
We measure before we recommend. Layout, plumbing and light decide what is possible; the finishes come after.
Materials worth the money
Stone, solid brass and properly made cabinetry — chosen so the room still reads well in fifteen years.
One team, start to finish
Designers, suppliers and fitters in the same building, so nothing falls between them.
A price you can hold us to
A single fixed quotation covering design, supply, fitting and aftercare. No day rates running away.
Come and put your hands on the materials.
Screens flatter everything. Full-size sample boards in daylight are the only honest way to choose stone, oak and brass — which is why both showrooms keep them out on the floor.
A client in Durham
“We were nervous about the disruption, having never done a room like this. They drew it, handled every delivery and fitted it in eleven days — and the price at the end was the price we agreed at the start.”
