"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."

£50 diagnostic — refunded if we can't scope it
Fair fixed quote — itemised in writing
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 Kevin 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

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 £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.
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: £50 to attend, survey and scope; an itemised written quote before any billable work; and 12 months guarantee on workmanship after completion.
