• Maintain a clean, stylish aesthetic.

Completion time

Typical timeline (single bathroom, one technician):

Monthly electricity costs (worked example)

Heater power: 600 W (0.6 kW) Average use: 2 hours per day Electricity price: £0.35 / kWh

Calculation:

• Daily energy = 0.6 kW × 2 h = 1.2 kWh/day

• Monthly energy = 1.2 kWh × 30 = 36 kWh/month

• Monthly cost = 36 × £0.35 = £12.60 / month
