Bathroom & Kitchen Renovations in Bexley & Kent
High-Quality Internal Renovations Designed Around Your Home and Lifestyle
Bathrooms and kitchens are the most heavily used rooms in any home, yet they’re often the first to feel dated, worn, or no longer fit for purpose. Whether it’s an inefficient kitchen layout, tired finishes, poor lighting, or a bathroom that lacks comfort and storage, a well-planned renovation can dramatically improve how your home looks, feels, and functions — without the need to extend or move.
At P J Dunbar Builders Ltd, we’ve been carrying out professional bathroom and kitchen renovations across Bexley, Bexleyheath, Sidcup, Dartford, Eltham, Welling, Orpington, and the wider Kent area since 1994. As a long-established, family-run building company, we specialise in upgrading and modernising existing spaces within the current footprint of your home, delivering practical layouts, high-quality finishes, and workmanship built to last.
Whether you’re refreshing a single room or renovating as part of a wider home improvement project, our experienced team manages every stage of the process — ensuring your renovation is clear, organised, and stress-free from start to finish.
Bathroom Renovations
A bathroom should be a comfortable, functional space that works effortlessly for everyday life. Many homes across Bexley and Kent still have bathrooms that were designed decades ago, with outdated layouts, poor ventilation, and limited storage. A professional renovation allows you to redesign the space around modern living standards.
Kitchen Renovations (Within the Existing Space)
A kitchen renovation focuses on improving how your kitchen works within its current footprint. This is ideal for homeowners who are happy with the size of their kitchen but want to modernise the layout, improve functionality, and update finishes.
Benefits of Renovating Your Kitchen or Bathroom
Improve Comfort, Usability and Daily Living
A renovation allows you to redesign spaces around how you actually live. Improved layouts, better lighting, modern fixtures, and practical storage solutions all contribute to a more comfortable, enjoyable home environment.
Add Long-Term Value to Your Property
Modern kitchens and bathrooms are among the most valuable upgrades you can make. Buyers place significant importance on these rooms, particularly in areas like Bexley, Sidcup, and Dartford, where well-maintained homes are in high demand.
Modernise Older Properties Safely and Correctly
Many homes benefit from updated plumbing, electrics, ventilation, and insulation. Renovating gives you the opportunity to bring these systems up to modern standards, improving safety, efficiency, and longevity.
Avoid the Cost and Disruption of Moving
Renovating allows you to improve your home without the expense, stress, and uncertainty of relocating. You gain the benefits of a better living space while staying in the area you know and love.

Bathroom & Kitchen Renovation FAQs
The cost of a bathroom or kitchen renovation varies depending on several factors, including the size of the room, the complexity of the layout, the quality of fixtures and finishes chosen, and whether plumbing or electrical upgrades are required. A simple bathroom refresh may cost significantly less than a full strip-out and rebuild, while kitchens can range widely depending on cabinetry, worktops, and appliance integration.
After a site visit, we provide a clear, detailed, itemised quotation, so you know exactly what’s included and can make informed decisions with no hidden surprises.
In most cases, yes. We plan renovation work carefully to minimise disruption and keep your home safe and functional throughout the project. For bathrooms, temporary arrangements can usually be made, and for kitchens, we’ll talk you through how long the space may be partially unavailable.

Yes. Updated kitchens and bathrooms are two of the most valuable improvements you can make, especially in areas like Bexley, Sidcup, Dartford, and across Kent.
Modern layouts, quality finishes, and efficient use of space are highly attractive to buyers and often contribute significantly to increased resale value, as well as improving everyday enjoyment while you live in the property.
We can work either way. Some homeowners prefer to source their own kitchen or bathroom through a retailer or designer, while others want guidance and support through the selection process.
We’re happy to install customer-supplied units or coordinate with trusted suppliers to ensure everything fits correctly and is installed to a high standard.
Timeframes depend on the scope of work involved.
Most bathroom renovations take around 1–3 weeks, depending on layout changes and finishes.
Kitchen renovations typically take 2–5 weeks, particularly if plumbing or electrical systems are being upgraded.

In almost all cases, planning permission is not required for internal renovations, as the work is carried out within the existing footprint of the home.
If any building regulations approvals are required — for example, electrical upgrades or ventilation changes — we handle these as part of the project.
