Liz Staynor managed my bathroom renovation superbly. Nothing was too much trouble, costing was straightforward and she welcomed change after change as I worked through what I wanted with her. Every tradesperson who came to work at my home was friendly, professional and on schedule, and the standard of work was faultless. I wouldn't change a thing about the finished bathroom. I am looking forward to our next project. Don't hesitate!

Very professional staff. They took their time to get to know me and what look I wanted for my bathroom. Quality tiles at great prices. Would recommend them to anyone and lots of others I know how used them before and have been very happy with the results. Thanks sbs!

Great service from beginning to end. Simply Bathrooms went above and beyond to ensure we had our bathroom ready in time for our guests over Christmas.

Highly unprofessional. No explanation or apology for missed appointments x 2 which was very inconvenient (missed work, childcare arrangements, cost me money). No response to telephone enquiries asking for an explanation.

We engaged Simply Bathroom Solutions last year to redesign and remodel our bathroom. Mark and Liz were an absolute delight to deal with throughout the entire process, always prompt with quotes and responding to questions as well as providing a wealth of knowledge on products and designs. When it came to installation the tradesmen were on time, courteous and made sure our home was left in a better state than when they arrived. If you are looking for a stylish, quality built bathroom look no further than Simply Bathroom Solutions.

This company was a breath of fresh air! Liz was a delight to work with and is very talented with design, her eye for detail and style made Simply Bathroom Solutions the obvious choice for me and my husband. Would definitely recommend! The trades that came through our house were also very well mannered, considerate and tidy! Thank you Liz, Mark, Troye and team!

The poor work from this company is astounding. Easily the worst company I have ever engaged. Then they offered me money to write a positive review on google! Please...people aren't that stupid.
