Beyond The Utility: Why Your Bathroom Renovation Should Start at the Plumbing Core

More Than Just Tiles: The Mechanics of a Great Bathroom

When homeowners plan a bathroom renovation, their minds jump immediately to aesthetics: the look of the tiles, the style of the vanity, and the finish of the brassware. As heating and plumbing specialists, we know the truth: a beautiful bathroom is only as good as the system running beneath it.

At the HPS Bathroom Showroom (61 Fullers Road, E18 2QB), we focus on both. We provide the stunning visual components and the high-performance mechanics that guarantee longevity and luxurious comfort. Skipping quality in the plumbing core is the single biggest mistake in any renovation project.

The Hidden Heroes: Choosing High-Quality System Components

A common pitfall is spending premium money on external fittings while compromising on the internal plumbing—the valves, pipework, and water heating system. This is a false economy.

1. The Power of Pressure and Flow

A beautiful rainfall shower is useless without sufficient water pressure. When planning your new bathroom, you must consider:

System Compatibility: Are you running on a combi boiler, a traditional gravity system, or do you need a booster pump? Our team ensures the taps and shower valves you choose are correctly rated for your home's water system.

The Right Pipework: Older, narrow pipework can restrict flow. We supply modern, high-grade piping and fittings designed to maximise delivery and minimise corrosion, ensuring that new shower delivers the experience the client expects.

The Showroom Advantage: Bridging the Gap Between Vision and Installation

For tradespeople and homeowners alike, our Fullers Road showroom is designed to be a seamless resource for the entire project lifecycle.

For the Homeowner:

See, Touch, Test: You can physically interact with various brassware finishes, shower systems, and vanity units. This eliminates the guesswork of online shopping.

Expert Consultation: Our showroom staff are backed by the technical expertise of Heating Parts Specialists. We don't just sell taps; we can advise on the technical requirements for fitting them to different water systems.

For the Trade Professional:

Project Management Hub: Use our space as your meeting room. Bring your client to the showroom to finalise selections. This elevates your professionalism.

Reliable Sourcing: Once the design is finalised, you order everything from one trusted supplier. We guarantee the quality of the shower valves, mixers, and associated plumbing components, reducing your risk of expensive installation call-backs.

Tangible Action for Your Next Project:

Before installing a new bathroom, conduct a system health check. If you're replacing a bath with a high-flow shower, ensure the hot water source is capable of supporting the demand. Visit the HPS counter or call ahead to discuss system upgrades, booster pumps, and expansion vessels alongside your decorative order.

The HPS Standard: Durability and Design

A successful bathroom renovation is one that lasts without incident for ten years or more. That reliability comes from using reputable brands for both the visible fittings and the concealed mechanical parts.

When you source your bathroom components through HPS, you benefit from our core commitment to quality—the same commitment we apply to supplying critical boiler spares. We ensure the products we stock meet our high standards for durability, ease of installation, and compliance with UK regulations.

This integrated approach—high-quality heating and high-quality bathrooms—is why we remain the preferred supplier for local tradespeople and informed homeowners.
