Working in Irlam

We cover every part of Irlam, including M31, M41 and M44, and nearby Urmston (2.9 miles) and Sale (4.2 miles).

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Irlam: free survey, written quote, one team. We measure small bathrooms in Irlam to the centimetre before quoting, because 50 mm can decide whether a larger tray fits. For a small Irlam 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

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
Strip-out, waste removal, testing and a clean handover
Shorter, narrower or shower baths where a full 1700 mm bath does not sit well

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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 Irlam: questions

What is the price of a small bathroom in Irlam?

A small bathroom in Irlam 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.

Do you cover M31 in Irlam?

Is the water hard in Irlam?

Who handles building control for a small bathroom in Irlam?

Building control for Irlam 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.

Can you fit a shower bath in a small bathroom?

Yes, a shower bath is one of the most useful fittings in a small bathroom. The wider end under the shower gives you more room to stand, and a curved or angled screen keeps the water in. Shower baths come in shorter lengths, so one can often replace a standard bath in the same position.
