Working in Horwich

As well as Horwich itself (BL6), we survey in Westhoughton, Chorley and Hindley.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Horwich: free survey, written quote, one team. If nobody in your Horwich 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 Horwich bathroom with no window, a quiet extractor fan on an overrun timer does more for the room than any tile choice.

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

Strip-out, waste removal, testing and a clean handover
Recessed niches, mirror cabinets and wall-hung vanity units to get storage off the floor
Shorter, narrower or shower baths where a full 1700 mm bath does not sit well
Two or three layout options, each priced, so you can compare keeping the bath with a walk-in shower

Decisions to make first

WC type

A short-projection close-coupled WC sits closer to the wall than a standard pan. A wall-hung WC on a concealed frame shows the floor beneath it and is easier to clean around.

Keep the bath or go walk-in

A 1500 or 1600 mm bath keeps a bath in a short room. A walk-in shower with a single glass panel opens up the floor and makes the room read as larger.

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.

Is the home survey in Horwich really free?

Do you cover BL6 in Horwich?

Yes. We cover all of Horwich, including BL6, and nearby Westhoughton, Chorley and Hindley. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

What storage works in a small bathroom?

Storage that comes off the floor works well: a wall-hung vanity under the basin, a mirror cabinet above it and recessed niches in the shower wall. Boxing around the soil stack or cistern can often be rebuilt with a shelf on top. Avoid deep units that stop the door opening fully.
