Working in Macclesfield

In Macclesfield we cover SK9, SK10 and SK11; we also cover Wilmslow, 6.4 miles away, and Bramhall.

Homes in and around Macclesfield vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you live in a terrace or semi in Macclesfield with a compact bathroom, swapping a pedestal basin and close-coupled WC for wall-hung pieces is often the biggest single gain. If nobody in your Macclesfield home has used the bath in years, we can price a walk-in shower layout next to a shorter bath so you can compare.

Supplies across most of Cheshire are moderately hard. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Two or three layout options, each priced, so you can compare keeping the bath with a walk-in shower
Space-saving sanitaryware: a short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact or semi-recessed basin
Shorter, narrower or shower baths where a full 1700 mm bath does not sit well
A measured survey including the door swing, window position, soil stack and any boxing that could be slimmed down

Decisions to make first

Glass

Clear glass with a slim profile or none lets the eye travel through the room. A fixed panel needs no clearance for a door to swing.

Tiles and grout

Larger tiles with a grout close to the tile colour make walls look calmer. Running the same floor tile into the shower makes the floor look continuous.

Rules that apply in England

In England, changes to the wiring in a room with a bath or shower are notifiable under Part P, so use an electrician registered with a competent person scheme. If you replace the extractor fan, do not fit one that extracts less than the old one; Approved Document F gives 15 litres per second for an intermittent bathroom fan.

More about small bathrooms

Small bathrooms in Macclesfield: questions

How much should I budget for a small bathroom in Macclesfield?

A small bathroom in Macclesfield usually costs £4,200–£8,000 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.

How long does a small bathroom take?

Is the home survey in Macclesfield 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 SK9 in Macclesfield?

Yes. We cover all of Macclesfield, including SK9, SK10 and SK11, and nearby Wilmslow, Bramhall and Congleton. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is it worth taking the bath out of a small bathroom?

It is worth it if nobody in the house uses the bath. A walk-in shower in the same space gives more standing room, a lower step and a more open floor. If it is the only bath in a family home, consider keeping one, perhaps a 1500 or 1600 mm bath with a shower over it. Our small bathroom ideas guide covers more options.
