In Eccles, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Whether your Eccles bathroom needs a refresh or a full strip back to brick, the written quote shows both where both are realistic. If you have just bought a house in Eccles, renovating the bathroom before moving in saves living through the dust.

Supplies across most of Greater Manchester are soft. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Repairs to rotten floorboards, joists or other timber found once the room is open
New hot and cold pipework and wastes, with isolation valves to each fitting
New wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician
Strip-out back to brick or studwork, with waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier

Decisions to make first

Shower floor

With the floor already up, a renovation is the easiest time to form a level shower floor or a full wet room.

Plaster or boards

Plaster suits dry walls that will be painted. Cement-based tile backer boards are the better base behind showers and under heavy tiles.

Rules that apply in England

In England, structural changes, new drainage or a new connection to the soil stack under Part H, and new circuits under Part P can all be building regulations work. A registered electrician can self-certify the electrics; structural and drainage work may need a building notice or a full plans application to building control.

Can you renovate a bathroom in a listed building?

Yes, with listed building consent where the work affects the building's character. That can include removing original features, changing internal walls or running new soil and vent pipes through walls. Consent comes from the council and must be in place before work starts, so the design allows time for it.
