"Old back boiler and gas fire in a Victorian terrace. Decommissioned cleanly, fitted a combi in the kitchen, made good. Fair fixed price, £50 diagnostic came off the bill."

What bathrooms in Widnes actually look like
Widnes bathroom work leans toward central terrace refits, straightforward newer-estate refits in Hough Green, and walk-in shower conversions in Farnworth and Appleton semis.
Typical Widnes bathroom sizes by property type
WA8 central terraces: 1.8m × 2.1m. Hough Green newer estates: 2.2m × 2.6m. Farnworth / Appleton semis: 2.4m × 2.8m.
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 Widnes bathroom fixtures & tiles
City Plumbing Widnes (Ditton Road), Plumb Center Runcorn, Wolseley Widnes and Selco Widnes for boards.
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 Widnes bathroom-fit timeline
8–12 working days for a terrace refit; 10–13 for a Hough Green refit; 12–15 for a Farnworth semi.
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 Widnes
- Double joists under stone-resin shower trays on central Widnes terraces
- Moisture-meter the ceiling below any upstairs bathroom
- Size fan extraction to 15 air-changes/hour, not the box label
- For Farnworth walk-in showers, spec a 40mm low-profile tray unless customer asks for tanking
- Order tile spares from the same batch and leave with the customer
The bathroom jobs Widnes customers actually ask us for
- Central Widnes terrace refits

- Downstairs cloakroom additions
- En-suite fits over an airing cupboard
Transparent Widnes bathroom-fit cost band
£4,400–£6,600 for a central terrace refit; £5,800–£8,500 for a Hough Green refit; £7,000–£10,500 for a Farnworth semi walk-in shower.
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 Widnes bathroom quote you're offered
A Widnes pattern is quoting a low headline number then adding £400 for joist doubling mid-job. Insist on an itemised written quote.
Our promise on every Widnes 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.
