What we do

Plumbing for beauty salons, nail bars and tattoo studios in London

If you run a beauty salon, nail bar or tattoo studio in London, your plumbing is part of what the council looks at. Boroughs license special treatment premises and generally expect hand-wash basins with hot and cold running water where treatments take place. Ninja Plumbers fits and repairs those basins, sorts out hot water that can't keep up, plumbs in pedicure chairs and foot spas, and deals with the WCs, drains and leaks behind the scenes. We work around your appointment book, agree the price before we start and send DBS-checked engineers we employ directly.

  • Lever, elbow and sensor tap fitting
  • Point-of-use and under-sink water heaters

What premises like yours need

What do beauty and tattoo studios need from their plumbing, heating and electrics?

  • Hand-wash basins where you work

    A licensing officer will usually want a hand-wash basin in or next to each treatment area, used only for washing hands, with hot and cold or suitably mixed warm water. Many councils prefer taps you don't have to touch with your hands, such as lever, elbow or sensor taps. Some also want a separate sink for cleaning equipment. We fit compact basins into tight treatment rooms and tattoo booths, and run the supply and waste neatly so the room still looks finished.

  • Hot water on tap all day

    A basin that takes a minute to run warm is no use between clients. Treatment rooms are often at the far end of the building from the boiler, so the answer may be a small point-of-use water heater under the basin rather than a long pipe run back to the cylinder. For studios with several rooms, a hot water cylinder or a better pipe layout may suit. Either way, we size the solution to the number of basins you actually use.

  • Pedicure, spa and treatment plumbing

    Pedicure chairs with built-in basins, foot spas and wet treatment rooms need a water supply, a waste that drains quickly and backflow protection so used water can't get back into the mains. Floor-level wastes sometimes need a small pump to reach the drain. Facial steamers, wax heaters and spray tan booths bring their own electrical needs, and nail bars need good extraction for dust and fumes. Because we also do electrics, one team can handle both sides of the job.

  • Drains, WCs and cleaning sinks

    Studios need a WC that works for staff and clients, and a separate sink for cleaning tools before they go into the ultrasonic cleaner or steriliser. Wax, massage oils, scrubs and pedicure debris build up in traps, and tattoo studios rinse ink and soap through their sinks every day. We clear blocked wastes, fit accessible traps, fix running toilets and hidden leaks, and plumb in cleaning sinks so your hand-wash basins stay reserved for hands.

Before your licence inspection

Each London borough sets its own conditions for special treatment licences, so read your council's conditions carefully and ask the licensing team if anything is unclear. Common points include a dedicated hand-wash basin in each treatment area, hot and cold or suitably mixed water, soap and paper towels, and surfaces that are easy to clean. Book any plumbing well before the inspection date, not the week before. If a room is being altered, keep photos and invoices for the work, in case the officer asks what was done and when.

Keep basins for hands only

A hand-wash basin that doubles as a sink for rinsing bowls, brushes or tools is a hygiene risk and an easy point for an inspector to pick up. If you don't have a separate cleaning sink, adding one is usually worthwhile. Keep hand-wash basins clear of stored products, and check that the water warms up within a few seconds of turning the tap. Where very hot water reaches a basin, a thermostatic mixing valve can blend it down to a safer temperature, and we can fit or replace one as part of the job.

Looking after drains and water heaters

Wax, oils, scrubs and skin debris build up in traps faster than most owners expect. Use strainers in pedicure basins, and wipe excess wax and oil into the bin rather than rinsing it away. Run hot and cold water through little-used basins each week: water sitting in pipes is part of the legionella risk that businesses must manage under HSE guidance. Hard London water also scales up small water heaters, so a heater that is slow to warm or keeps tripping may need descaling or replacing.

Questions

Questions about plumbing for beauty and tattoo studios

What plumbing does a special treatment licence need?

Conditions vary by borough, so check yours. Most expect a dedicated hand-wash basin in or near each treatment area with hot and cold or mixed warm water, plus a working WC and hand basin for staff and clients. We can look at your rooms, tell you what plumbing work would be needed and fit it before your inspection.

Can you fit a hand-wash basin in a small treatment room?

Usually. Compact basins fit into tight corners, and a small water heater underneath can avoid a long hot pipe run. The main question is the waste: it needs a route to a drain, or a small pump if the drain is too far away or too high. We check this on a visit before agreeing a price.

Do you plumb in pedicure chairs?

Yes. We connect the hot and cold supply, the waste and any backflow protection the chair needs, following the manufacturer's instructions. Some chairs drain by gravity and others have their own pump. If the chair needs an electrical supply nearby, our electricians can fit a suitable socket or spur on the same visit.

Can you swap my taps for hands-free ones?

Yes. We fit lever, elbow and sensor taps on existing basins where the basin and tap holes allow. Sensor taps run on batteries or a mains supply, so we will talk through which suits your room. If the water runs too hot at the tap, we can fit a thermostatic mixing valve at the same time.

Will the work disrupt my bookings?

We plan around your diary. Many basin and tap jobs can be done before you open, after you close or on a quiet day. If a larger job means turning the water off for longer, we tell you in advance so you can move clients. For leaks or blockages that can't wait, we have a 24/7 emergency callout.
