Lancashire
In short
Preston terrace-belt bathrooms sit over 100-year-old joists — the honest first task on any refit is joist inspection, then everything else follows.
Preston bathroom work leans toward terrace refits in Deepdale and Ribbleton, walk-in shower conversions in Fulwood and Penwortham semis, and straightforward newer-estate refits in Broughton.
Deepdale / Ribbleton terraces: 1.8m × 2.1m. Fulwood / Penwortham semis: 2.4m × 2.8m. Broughton newer estates: 2.2m × 2.6m.
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.
City Plumbing Preston (New Hall Lane), Plumb Center Bamber Bridge, Wolseley Preston and Selco Fulwood 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.
8–12 working days for a terrace refit; 12–15 for a Fulwood semi; 10–13 for a Broughton refit.
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.
£4,400–£6,600 for a terrace refit; £7,000–£10,500 for a Fulwood semi with walk-in shower; £5,800–£8,500 for a Broughton newer-estate refit.
Every price is confirmed in writing after the £50 diagnostic — itemised for fixtures, tanking, waste, extraction and tiling. Nothing billable starts until you approve the fair fixed quote, and the £50 is refunded if we can't reasonably scope the job.
A Preston pattern is quoting a low headline number then adding £400 for joist doubling and £200 for waste rerouting mid-job. Insist on an itemised written quote.
Our promise on every Preston bathroom-fit call-out: £50 to attend, survey and scope; an itemised written quote before any billable work; and 12 months guarantee on workmanship after completion.
"1930s semi, upstairs radiators barely warm and the shower kept losing pressure. Full balance, new TRVs on two rads and a magnetic filter — sorted for the price of what another firm quoted just for the flush."
— Rob N., Fulwood · Rad balance + filter, Fulwood
"Cellar stopcock hadn't been turned in twenty years and finally seized. KJ freed it, replaced it with a lever valve and labelled everything. Straightforward job, honest price."
— Sadia M., Deepdale · Stopcock replacement, Deepdale
"New-build filling loop was hidden behind the utility carcass. Found it, extended it neatly and labelled the isolators. Small job, made a big difference."
— Tom H., Cottam · Filling loop relocation, Cottam
