I will explain why 4 stars instead of 5 first. This is simply that we found all the PDF's and attachments in the emails we received quite complicated and were at first unable to figure out what the total cost for supply and fitting. That said, we have been extremely happy with everything else; supply of our bathroom, the design, the quality and the fitting. Appointments were kept on time and the work was more or less completed within the agreed time frame.
We had a fully functioning bathroom but the fitters did have to come back a couple of weeks later with the finishing touches. At the end of the day we were delighted with the finished result and I would certainly recommend MBK.

Deciding to update our kitchen, we contacted MBK & received great ideas & advice from Stewart. In visits to both our place & his showroom, he was always on time & courteous & when it came to getting the design as we wanted it, , nothing was too much trouble. The quality of the units are first class & the workmanship & finish on our kitchen is excellent. We would certainly recommend & use MBK again.

I chose MBK because I wanted a small company who could offer honest design and supply advice with good quality products and fair prices. With Stewart and his team I got great service and would happily recommend them to anyone embarking on a new bathroom. Despite me taking several years from the initial contact with MBK to actually embarking on the project, Stewart was happy to spend the time over several visits for me to finally decide on the design and choice and bathroom furniture. Thank you, I am delighted with my new bathroom.

The highest recommendation is really what this company deserves. After having many companies out to quote for the job in question, nobody knew or understood what I really wanted. On contacting MBK, Stewart came to the property, assessed, went away and did his 3D plan, and executed the project over and above what I envisaged. I cannot thank him enough for providing me with the perfect bathroom, so happy.
He really knows his stuff and I felt confident in letting him choose the materials and design - whenever anybody enters the bathroom they say WOW! Between MBK and HK Kitchens & Bathrooms, I now have the bathroom I dreamed of, bathroom number 2 in progress (thanks to lockdown!) and bathroom 3 to be planned afterwards. Would thoroughly recommend MBK to anybody. You’ve made me very happy

We engaged MBK Design Studio to replace our ageing shower room with a complete removal of the existing and re-build from scratch to install a walk-in shower. Stewart led the Project with the design, detailing, ordering and coordination of the installers. An initial survey to confirm dimensions was all that was required. Computer aid design then followed with 3D details for acceptance forwarded by email.
Once agreed detailed estimates for both supply and installation followed. Over a two-week period in January 2020 the works were completed as planned. This included knocking out the old shower wall, existing tiling and vanity unit; re-plastering walls and ceiling; electrical alterations for new recessed lighting and extractor ventilation, plumbing alterations including a new heated towel rail with concealed pipes; full tiling; installing a new Aqualisa Quartz Digital Concealed Shower unit, tray and screen; new vanity unit with washbasin; all plumbing; new vinyl tile flooring.
Some excellent recommendations were made during the design stage to enhance our early expectations and ensure we had considered all aspects and needs. Procurement included a shower tray bespoke to the dimensions of the room and all other fitments. The installation team were, self-sufficient, amenable to all our needs and ensured we understood the work being undertaken. Also, all floor coverings to access to the room were protected during the works with removal of all packaging and old fittings / debris on completion. All in all highly recommended as the final high quality product needed no further works to be undertaken, fits our expectations fully and is something we benefit from daily.

We have used MBK Design Studio on numerous occasions for both Kitchens and Bathrooms, have recommended them to family and friends too. They have always been extremely professional in their attitude, and competitive in their pricing. Recently we have purchased our dream oven (NEFF) from them which was delivered on time, and is being fully enjoyed!.

We contacted MBK for a quote for 2 new bathrooms including power shower. They came, spent a lot of time measuring up, and then back at the showroom showed us all the options we could choose, suggesting which components would sit well with each other and explaining the pros and cons of the various options. We took a long time to think about it, changed our minds a few times and each time the company took it all in its stride. We are very happy with the design, delivery, and installation of the bathrooms and will be asking the company to quote for our kitchen upgrade in the near future.

We have used Stewart to design, source and install 3 kitchens in various properties since 2015 and we are very pleased with all the work that he has done for us. We are currently in the process of designing a new ensuite bathroom, and there was only one choice for us - MBK. Stewart always has useful ideas and has always found a way to make our budget stretch further than we initially thought was possible. I would highly recommend Stewart to anyone that is planning a new kitchen or bathroom - you will end up with a superb quality product with great customer service.

Warning! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! Edited!, Had a phone call from the owner about this review screaming his head off at me while I am lying in a hospital bed with no care about how that effects me. All points still stand more so the horrific temper. Would consider it harassment if I would get out of this hospital bed. Second warning, he has written flat out lies in a reply to this review.
He is a very horrible person and is to happy to lie he way out of it. I hope you reading this not have the same result as me. Have had a number of companies from the local area quote for a bathroom and MBK designs was probably the worst. 1. Unhelpful during the quote not understanding that a wheelchair made the suggestions an impossibility. 2. Was one and a half hours late to quote for the bathroom, with no apologie or reason. 3. Called multiple times to ask why there wasn't a quote or an email to say when a quote would arrive after a week and a half. 4. Was called by the owner who lies through his teeth saying I gave his assistant a wrong email address.
Even though I didn't give them any email address to the assistant. Only to him when he came to quote. Procedes to argue that I am very wrong and raises his voice. WHAT HAPPENED TO CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT? Didn't apologise for not contacting even after he mentioned 3 bonce back emails? He has my phone number? 5. Two and a half weeks later, Still no quote! Alarm bells! 6. No care for the customer, Terrible communication skills, Horric Temper

My 76 year old Aunty who is disabled used the "services" of this firm for a shower room to be re tiled & new shower fitted lower. 3 weeks later its still not nowhere near finished after being told it would take 1 week to finish. Communication is horrendous, workers turn up for work for maybe 1 hour & so forth. Overall I am bitterly disappointed as she won't have the shower finished before Christmas. 1 last point, she also had to order the lower shower tray herself & pay for it as she was told "this product isn't made anymore ". Yet we found it very easily on the internet. I've never given any company a negative review but this company is taking the mick.

We recently purchased a brand new kitchen for our house extension. Living in an extended family, the kitchen needed to suit all types of cooking and have plenty of space to prepare. From the moment we met with Stewart, he understood exactly what we wanted. Stewart took a great deal of time to find out exactly how we would use our kitchen, he suggested some fantastic ideas and was easy to work with. Stewart's enthusiasm for and understanding of an unconventional project was really appreciated and we now have a kitchen that meets all our expectations from aesthetic and practical viewpoint.
We personally love how we can empty the dishwasher and put the dishes away in the drawer without moving a step. Stewart was able to offer bespoke options to our kitchen breakfast area with open shelving, an area for the toaster and combining a hot tap and small sink, all hidden away with bifolding doors. The level of service and quality of product is second to none.
His professionalism, advice, experience and attention to detail are excellent. The installers arrived on the appointed start date and their craftsmanship was first rate, nothing was too much trouble. We couldn't be more thrilled with our kitchen and the overall experience and dealings with Stewart and the team at MBK. The finished kitchen is simply wonderful and I would recommend MBK to anyone wanting a dream kitchen.
