Working in Royton

We work right across Royton — OL1, OL2 and OL9 — and in neighbouring Chadderton and Oldham.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Royton: free survey, written quote, one team. For a small Royton bathroom with no window, a quiet extractor fan on an overrun timer does more for the room than any tile choice. If your Royton bathroom is a box room over the stairs, the first job is finding out where the soil stack lets the WC sit.

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

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

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.

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.

More about small bathrooms

Small bathrooms in Royton: questions

How much does a small bathroom cost in Royton?

A small bathroom in Royton 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.

Who handles building control for a small bathroom in Royton?

Building control for Royton 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.

How long does a small bathroom take?

Allow 5–8 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Royton.

Is the home survey in Royton 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.

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.
