In Manchester we cover M1, M2, M4 and 16 more postcode districts; we also cover Salford, 2.2 miles away, and Old Trafford.

In a city the size of Manchester, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If you want to lose the bath and gain storage in your Manchester bathroom, we show you both options before you decide. We survey in Manchester before quoting, so the furniture run is planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack.

Most of Greater Manchester is supplied with soft water. 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

First and second-fix plumbing, including concealed cistern frames and new isolation valves
Electrical work by a qualified electrician: lighting, extractor fan, shaver socket or heating, tested and certified
A free home survey with measurements, photos and a check of your water pressure, drainage and ventilation
Strip-out of the old bathroom and removal of the waste

Decisions to make first

Wall-hung or floor-standing

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

Furniture finish

Matt or gloss lacquer, wood-effect, painted shaker or handleless. Darker finishes hide marks; lighter ones make a small room feel bigger.

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 Manchester: questions

What is the price of a fitted bathroom in Manchester?

A fitted bathroom in Manchester usually costs £6,100–£11,250 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Is the water hard in Manchester?

Who handles building control for a fitted bathroom in Manchester?

Building control for Manchester is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

What is the difference between a fitted bathroom and a normal bathroom?

In a fitted bathroom the basin, WC and storage are built into one continuous run of furniture, with the cistern and pipes hidden behind panels and a worktop across the top. A standard bathroom uses separate pieces, such as a pedestal basin and close-coupled toilet, which leave gaps and visible pipework.
