As a guide, budget £4,200 to £8,000 including VAT for a small bathroom in Ashton-under-Lyne; your written quote will pin it down.

Working in Ashton-under-Lyne
We work right across Ashton-under-Lyne — M34, M43, OL6 and 3 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Dukinfield and Stalybridge.
Homes in and around Ashton-under-Lyne vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If nobody in your Ashton-under-Lyne home has used the bath in years, we can price a walk-in shower layout next to a shorter bath so you can compare. For a small Ashton-under-Lyne bathroom with no window, a quiet extractor fan on an overrun timer does more for the room than any tile choice.
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
- Two or three layout options, each priced, so you can compare keeping the bath with a walk-in shower
- Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- Space-saving sanitaryware: a short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact or semi-recessed basin
- Boarding, tanking and tiling, with larger tiles where they suit the walls to cut down grout lines
Decisions to make first
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.
Door
Re-hanging the door to open outwards, or fitting a sliding door, frees the space behind it. In a very small room this alone can make space for a bigger shower.
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.
