"Boiler kept locking out in the cold snap. Diagnosed a badly insulated condensate on the north-facing wall. Re-routed it, insulated properly, no more lockouts."

What bathrooms in Tameside actually look like
Tameside bathroom work is a mix of ex-council refits in Ashton and Denton, walk-in shower conversions in Hyde terraces, and cottage refits in Mossley and Stalybridge where floor levelling and joist doubling drive the cost.
Typical Tameside bathroom sizes by property type
Ashton / Denton ex-council semis: 2.0m × 2.4m rectangular. Hyde terraces: 1.8m × 2.1m. Mossley / Stalybridge cottages: irregular 1.9m × 2.4m with stone-wall corners.
Every quote includes a scale drawing before you sign — so you can see exactly what fits, what doesn't, and where the walk-in shower actually opens.
Where we source Tameside bathroom fixtures & tiles
City Plumbing Ashton (Old Street), Plumb Center Hyde, Wolseley Stalybridge and Selco Denton for boards and adhesives.
Every quote lists the merchant, the manufacturer and the model — no mystery-branded fittings, no invoice-only prices. You can walk into the same trade counter and cross-check the price.
An honest Tameside bathroom-fit timeline
8–12 working days for an ex-council refit; 12–15 for a walk-in shower conversion; 15–20 for a Mossley cottage.
We publish the working-day count because the tanking cure (48h) and tile grout cure (24h) are physics, not fitter speed — skipping them causes leaks and popped tiles 6 months later.
How KJ approaches a bathroom fit in Tameside
- Check for lead soil-stacks on any pre-1960 Tameside terrace before quoting
- Laser-level every Mossley cottage floor before quoting screed costs
- Moisture-meter existing plasterboard on ex-council refits
- Size fan extraction to 15 air-changes/hour, not the box label
- Order tile spares from the same batch and leave with the customer
The bathroom jobs Tameside customers actually ask us for

Transparent Tameside bathroom-fit cost band
£4,400–£6,600 for an ex-council refit; £6,800–£10,000 for a Denton walk-in shower conversion; £8,500–£13,000 for a Mossley cottage refit.
Every price is confirmed in writing after the free plumber visit — itemised for fixtures, tanking, waste, extraction and tiling. Nothing billable starts until you approve the fair fixed quote, and there is nothing to pay us for the visit whether or not we can reasonably scope the job.
Why you shouldn't sign the cheapest Tameside bathroom quote you're offered
A Tameside pattern is discovering a lead soil-stack mid-strip-out and quoting a £2,500 change-order. An honest surveyor spots this before demolition — insist on a pre-strip inspection.
Our promise on every Tameside bathroom-fit call-out: a free visit to attend, survey and scope; an itemised written quote before any billable work; and 12 months guarantee on workmanship after completion.
