Bathroom Fitters in Stoke-on-Trent
Full bathrooms, wet rooms, en-suites and downstairs cloakrooms. Strip-out, plumbing, tanking, tiling and electrics — one team, one price, one guarantee.
From box rooms to full wet rooms
Most bathrooms in this part of Staffordshire are small, awkwardly shaped, or both. That is the work we know best.
No tray, no step. Properly tanked before tiling, with the floor falls set so water goes to the drain and nowhere else.
Back-addition bathrooms with sloping ceilings and no space to spare. Wall-hung fittings and slim vanities buy back floor.
Under the stairs or off the hallway. One of the cheapest ways to add real value, and no planning permission needed.
Everything from strip-out to the final seal
A bathroom is the most trade-heavy room in the house for its size. Plumber, electrician, tiler and plasterer all have to work in a space barely big enough for one of them, in the right order, with no gaps. When they come from four different firms, that is where the delays start.

Tanking is not optional
Tiles and grout are not waterproof. They slow water down. What actually keeps water out of the structure is the tanking membrane applied to the walls and floor before tiling starts — and it is the first thing dropped when a quote is being sharpened.
In a shower enclosure it matters. In a wet room, where there is no tray at all, it is the only thing standing between the shower and the joists underneath.
We tank every shower area as standard and it is itemised on your quote, so you can see it is there. If you are comparing us against a cheaper price, that line is worth checking for.
Types of bathroom we fit
Full bathroom refits
Complete replacement of an existing bathroom, keeping or changing the layout. The most common job we do.
Wet rooms
Fully tanked, level-access shower areas with a linear or point drain. Works well in small rooms where a tray wastes space.
Shower rooms
Removing the bath for a proper walk-in enclosure. Usually the right call in a second bathroom or a small family home.
En-suites
Built into a bedroom corner or an old box room, including the waste run and extraction that make it workable.
Downstairs cloakrooms
Under the stairs or off a hallway. No planning permission needed and one of the better returns on a small spend.
Accessible bathrooms
Level access, grab rails, seating and slip-resistant flooring — designed to look like a bathroom, not a hospital.
Bathrooms in Stoke-on-Trent houses
A lot of the terraces in Burslem, Tunstall, Longton and Fenton never had an upstairs bathroom to begin with. One was added later, usually in the back addition or carved out of the smallest bedroom, and it shows — sloping ceilings, a window in an awkward place, and a room that a standard 1700mm bath was never designed for.
The single most common request we get is moving the bathroom, or changing its layout. Both come back to the same constraint: where the soil stack is. Waste needs fall, and in a solid-wall terrace with no cavity there is nowhere to hide a long run. It is usually possible, but it has to be worked out on the survey rather than assumed — which is why we measure before we price.
Water here helps. North Staffordshire sits in a softer water area than much of the county — head south towards Burton and it gets considerably harder. Softer water means less scale on shower heads, thermostatic valves and glass, so the finish stays looking new for longer and there is rarely a case for a softener on a bathroom job alone.
What older properties here do need is extraction. Plenty of the bathrooms we strip out have none at all, or a fan wired to a light switch that nobody uses. Condensation on solid walls with no cavity turns into black mould on the ceiling within a winter, so a properly sized extractor with an overrun goes into every job.
Bathroom Fitters Newcastle-under-LymeWhat does a new bathroom cost in Stoke-on-Trent?
The main variables are the size of the room, the suite you choose, how much tiling there is and whether anything is moving. Relocating a WC costs more than replacing one in the same spot, every time.
Every figure below is supplied and fitted, including tanking. You will get an itemised fixed price after the survey.

How long will I be without a bathroom?
A straight replacement is usually five to eight working days. Moving the layout, tanking a wet room or dealing with a rotten floor adds to that. If you only have one bathroom we will tell you honestly which days the WC is out of action — usually one or two — so you can plan around it rather than find out on the morning.
Can you move the bathroom to a different room?
Often yes, and it is a common request in older Stoke terraces. The deciding factor is the soil stack — waste needs a consistent fall, and in a solid-wall property there is limited room to run it discreetly. Occasionally a macerator is the sensible answer, though we will always look at a gravity solution first. This gets confirmed at the survey, not over the phone.
Is a wet room a good idea in a small bathroom?
Usually, yes. Losing the tray and the step gives back floor area and makes a tight room feel considerably bigger. The trade-off is that the whole room has to be tanked and the floor falls have to be right, so it is not the cheap option — but done properly it is the better one in a small space, and it future-proofs the room if access ever becomes an issue.
Do you fit the tiling and electrics as well?
Yes, all as part of the same job and the same quote. Bathroom electrical work sits in defined safety zones and is notifiable, so it is carried out and certificated by our electricians. Tiling, tanking, plumbing and flooring come from the same settled team — the same faces on every job, which is what stops the gaps opening up between trades.
Do I need an extractor fan?
Yes, and in most cases building regulations require one. Beyond compliance it is the difference between a bathroom that still looks good in three years and one with mould along the ceiling line. Older properties round here are particularly prone to it, because solid walls with no cavity run colder and condensation has to go somewhere. Every bathroom we fit gets a properly sized fan with a timed overrun.
