Expert bathroom renovation services in Chelsea, SW3. Trusted by homeowners across Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.
A Chelsea bathroom renovation is an exercise in restrained luxury. The Georgian townhouses and elegant period conversions that define this neighbourhood deserve bathrooms crafted with the finest materials and meticulous attention to detail. SOM Development delivers exactly that, with a portfolio of Chelsea projects spanning Kings Road, Sloane Square, and the quieter residential streets off Fulham Road.
Our Chelsea bathroom designs often feature full-slab natural marble or porcelain, freestanding baths positioned beneath restored sash windows, and bespoke vanity units built to complement the proportions of period rooms. Heated towel rails, demisting mirrors, and recessed lighting are integrated seamlessly, creating a spa-like atmosphere in even the most traditional setting.
Many Chelsea properties have multiple bathrooms spread across four or five storeys, and we frequently renovate the entire suite—principal en-suite, family bathroom, guest cloakroom, and lower-ground shower room—as a coordinated package. This approach ensures consistency of design and finish while allowing us to upgrade the property's plumbing and hot-water system comprehensively.
Working in Chelsea demands exceptional site management. We protect existing interiors with dust barriers and floor coverings, manage waste removal discreetly, and respect RBKC's strict construction-hours policy to maintain good relations with neighbours throughout the project.
Chelsea's housing stock consists primarily of Georgian and early-Victorian townhouses, many listed or within conservation areas managed by RBKC. Bathrooms in these properties are often generous in size but dated in specification, with original cast-iron pipework, low water pressure, and inadequate ventilation.
A comprehensive bathroom renovation in Chelsea addresses all of these issues while elevating the space to a standard befitting one of London's most exclusive neighbourhoods. The return on investment is strong, with buyers in Chelsea expecting impeccably finished bathrooms as standard.
“SOM renovated four bathrooms in our Chelsea townhouse over eight weeks. Each one is individually designed but they share a cohesive aesthetic. The Calacatta marble in our en-suite is simply breathtaking. Worth every penny.”

We assess your space, discuss your preferences, and present design options that maximise functionality and style.
You receive a transparent, itemised quote with no hidden costs — covering design, materials, labour, and timelines.
From plumbing first-fix to the final grout line, our experienced team delivers a flawless bathroom finish.
Natural stone—Calacatta marble, Carrara, or honed limestone—creates the most luxurious finish. For a lower-maintenance alternative, large-format porcelain tiles that replicate natural stone are excellent. We also use solid brass or brushed-nickel brassware for lasting quality.
Yes. We frequently install unvented hot-water cylinders or combi-boiler upgrades that deliver mains-pressure hot water to all bathrooms. This makes a dramatic difference to shower performance, particularly in multi-storey Chelsea properties.
We install continuous-running extract fans with humidistat control, ducted to external discharge points that are carefully sited to minimise visual impact on the building's facade. This meets Part F ventilation requirements while respecting the period exterior.
