Bathroom fitting in Middleton, with proper preparation
You have chosen the bathroom. This is the part where it either gets fitted to last or gets fitted quickly, and the difference only shows two years later.
How we work
Fitting is mostly what happens before the fitting
Sanitaryware going in is the fast part. What decides whether it stays right is the frame behind a wall hung basin, the level of the floor under a tray, the tanking around a shower and the accuracy of the setting out before the first tile.
We treat those as the job rather than as preparation for the job. It is also why we are happy to fit products a customer bought themselves.
Every fitting job follows the same sequence. Martin surveys the room and you receive a written scope. The old fittings come out and the room is made good, then pipework and any frame work are altered. After that the wet areas are prepared, the walls are made ready for tiling, the tiles go in, and only then do the sanitaryware, screen and brassware get fitted. Sealing, testing and a clean handover close the job.
That order is why some decisions cannot wait. A wall hung toilet needs its frame built in before the wall is closed up, a concealed valve needs its depth checked before tiling, and a towel rail needs its supply position settled early. None of it is difficult, it just has to be decided at the start rather than in the middle.

Supplying your own products
This is common and we have no issue with it. We will look over your list at survey and flag anything that will not work in your room, such as a vanity too deep for the door swing or a shower your water pressure will not support.
Better to know before you order than after it arrives. Our guide to what bathroom fitting costs explains how supplying your own suite affects the quotation.
If you are choosing fittings rather than buying them yourself, the things worth settling early are the depth of any basin unit against the door swing, whether a wall hung toilet needs a frame inside the wall, the flow your water system can give a shower, and where the towel rail sits so the door does not block it. Those choices shape the pipework and the tiling, so they belong at the survey rather than halfway through the job.
Timescales depend on the size of the room and the work involved, and we will confirm yours when we quote rather than guess at a figure that might not fit your room.

Common questions
Bathroom Fitting: your questions answered
How long does a bathroom fitting take?
Timescales depend on the size of the room and the work involved, and we will confirm yours when we quote, along with the stages that make it up.
Do you do the plumbing and plastering as well?
The written scope from the survey sets out exactly which work is included, so you know who is doing each part before anything starts.
Do you remove the old bathroom?
That depends on the scope agreed at the survey. Whatever is included is written into the quotation, so there are no surprises about who clears the old fittings away.
How does the quoting work?
You receive a written scope from the survey listing each stage, so you know what is included before work starts, and anything that changes is agreed with you first.
Can you fit a bathroom I have already bought?
Yes. Bring us the list and we will check it against your room before quoting.
Do you fit wall hung toilets and basins?
Regularly. They need a supporting frame built in before plastering, so they must be decided early.
Can you keep my existing bath?
If it is sound and you are happy with it, yes. Careful removal and refitting costs far less than replacement.
Will my water pressure run the shower I want?
We test flow and pressure at the survey rather than guessing, and recommend accordingly.
Do you fit extractor fans?
Yes, and we usually recommend it. Ventilation is the cheapest lasting improvement in most bathrooms.
