Greater Manchester
In short
This is my home patch and I'll be honest — most Rochdale bathroom quotes we're asked to second-opinion have skipped the tanking or the joist repair to hit a headline price the customer wanted to hear.
Rochdale bathroom work is a mix of terrace refits in central Rochdale and Castleton, walk-in shower conversions in Bamford and Norden semis, and character cottage refits in Littleborough and Wardle where floor levelling and joist doubling drive the real cost.
Central Rochdale / Castleton terraces: 1.7m × 2.0m over kitchen extensions. Bamford / Norden semis: 2.4m × 2.8m with room for a separate shower. Littleborough / Wardle cottages: irregular 1.9m × 2.4m with awkward 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.
City Plumbing Rochdale (Milkstone Road), Plumb Center Heywood, Selco Kingsway, Screwfix Sudden and Norden Tiles for porcelain — this is our home patch and we know every trade counter's stock lead time by name.
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 Bamford semi; 15–20 for a Littleborough 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.
£4,200–£6,400 for a terrace refit; £6,800–£10,500 for a Bamford/Norden semi with walk-in shower; £8,500–£13,000 for a Littleborough cottage 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 recurring Rochdale second-opinion story: a headline quote £1,500 under ours, with no line for tanking, joist repair or waste rerouting. Insist on an itemised written quote with every category listed before you sign.
Our promise on every Rochdale 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.
