Working in Bolton

As well as Bolton itself (BL1, BL2, BL3 and 2 more postcode districts), we survey in Farnworth, Westhoughton and Radcliffe.

Bolton has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. Fitted furniture suits the many Bolton bathrooms that have to hold towels, toiletries and cleaning things for a whole household. For homes in Bolton where the bathroom is the only one, we plan the work so the toilet is out of action for as short a time as possible.

Water across much of Greater Manchester is 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

Boarding, tanking in the wet areas, wall and floor tiling
Layout options drawn to your room, including where the furniture run, bath or shower and towel rail will go
Strip-out of the old bathroom and removal of the waste
A free home survey with measurements, photos and a check of your water pressure, drainage and ventilation

Decisions to make first

Tiling height

Tiling just the wet areas keeps the cost down. Full-height tiling looks better and is easier to wipe clean.

Wall-hung or floor-standing

Wall-hung units show more floor and look lighter; floor-standing units give more storage and suit uneven walls.

Rules that apply in England

In England, new circuits and most electrical changes in a bathroom are notifiable under Part P, so they must be done by an electrician registered with a competent person scheme or notified to building control. If you are adding a new extractor fan, Approved Document F gives 15 litres per second as the usual intermittent extract rate.

Fitted bathrooms in Bolton: questions

How much does a fitted bathroom cost in Bolton?

A fitted bathroom in Bolton usually costs £6,100–£11,250 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Is the home survey in Bolton really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover BL1 in Bolton?

Yes. We cover all of Bolton, including BL1, BL2, BL3, BL4 and 1 more postcode districts, and nearby Farnworth, Westhoughton and Radcliffe. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Bolton?

Is fitted bathroom furniture waterproof?

Good fitted furniture uses moisture-resistant boards, sealed edges and a worktop sealed to the wall. It is designed for a bathroom, but standing water should still be wiped up. Ask for the carcass material and edge banding on the quote.
