Bathroom Fitters Wigan

Bathroom Fitters Wigan

A bathroom is the hardest working room in the house and the one most people put up with for too long. Our bathroom fitters have been installing new bathrooms across Wigan since 1995, and we handle the whole job in-house: the rip out, the plumbing and electrics, plastering, tiling, flooring and the final coat of paint. One team, one point of contact, one price agreed before we start.

Whether you want a complete new bathroom, a downstairs WC, an en suite or a refresh of what you already have, we design it around how your household actually uses the room. Then we build it properly, tidy up after ourselves and leave you with a bathroom that works as well as it looks.

Bathroom Fitting in Wigan That Covers the Whole Job

Most bathroom problems come from having too many people involved. The plumber blames the tiler, the tiler is waiting on the plasterer, and nobody is in charge of the finish. We avoid all of that because every trade on your bathroom works for us. There is no subcontracting, so the person who quoted the job is the person responsible for it from the first day to the last.

It starts with a visit to your home in Wigan or the surrounding area. We measure up, talk through what you want to change and what is not working now, and give you honest advice on layout, storage and where the money is best spent. You get a written quote with no hidden extras, backed by a Fair Trading contract and our Peace of Mind Guarantee.

On the job itself we work to a clear schedule so you know when the water will be off and when the room will be back in use. Most full bathroom installations in Wigan take between one and two weeks depending on the size of the room and how much is moving. If you also have a kitchen on the list, our kitchen fitters in Wigan can plan the two together so you only live through the disruption once.

What Our Bathroom Fitting Service Includes

Every new bathroom is different, but the stages are the same. Here is what your quote covers when you use us as your bathroom fitters.

Step 01

Design and planning

Layout advice, help choosing a suite, tiles and fittings from any supplier you like, and a plan you can picture before anything is ordered.

Step 02

Rip out and disposal

The old suite, tiles and flooring removed and taken away, with your home protected while we work.

Step 03

Plumbing

New pipework where the layout changes, moved waste runs, showers, baths and basins connected and tested.

Step 04

Electrics

Downlights, extractor fans, shaver sockets, electric showers and underfloor heating, all certified.

Step 05

Plastering and boarding

Walls and ceilings made good or re-boarded so tiles and paint go onto a flat, sound surface.

Step 06

Tiling and flooring

Wall and floor tiling, wet room tanking where needed, or vinyl and laminate flooring fitted and sealed.

Step 07

Installation and finishing

The suite fitted, silicone done properly, decorating completed and the room cleaned before we hand it back.

Step 08

Aftercare and guarantee

A walk-round with you at the end, everything demonstrated and working, and our Peace of Mind Guarantee if anything needs attention later.

Bathroom Makeovers and Refurbishments in Wigan

Not every bathroom needs ripping back to the brick. If the layout works and the plumbing is sound, a bathroom makeover can transform the room for a fraction of the cost of a full installation. We keep the bath, shower or basin where they are and refresh everything around them.

A typical bathroom refurbishment in Wigan might mean new wall and floor tiles, a replacement shower screen or enclosure, a new vanity unit for storage, fresh sealant and grout, updated lighting and a full redecoration. Swapping a bath for a walk-in shower is one of the most popular makeover jobs we do, particularly for older homeowners who want the room to be safer and easier to use.

Because the same team handles both, we can tell you straight whether a makeover will give you what you want or whether the money is better put towards a full refit. There is no pressure either way. If you are weighing it up, our guide to new kitchen versus kitchen refurbishment covers the same decision for the kitchen and much of the logic applies here too.

What Does a New Bathroom Cost in Wigan?

Prices vary with the size of the room, how much of the plumbing is moving and the spec of the suite and tiles you choose. The figures below are guide prices for the North West in 2026, supplied and fitted, so you can budget with some confidence before we visit.

Type of job Typical scope Guide price (2026)
Bathroom makeover Layout kept, new tiles, flooring, screen, vanity and decorating £2,500 to £5,000
Standard bathroom installation Full rip out and new suite in the same layout, mid-range tiles and fittings £5,000 to £8,500
Full refit with a new layout Plumbing moved, walk-in shower or wet room area, full tiling, new lighting and extractor £8,500 to £14,000
Large or high-spec bathroom Bigger rooms, freestanding baths, underfloor heating, premium tiles and brassware £14,000 to £20,000+
En suite or downstairs WC Compact room, new suite, tiling and electrics £3,500 to £7,000

As a rule of thumb, the labour and building work make up around half of a typical bathroom budget, with the suite, tiles and fittings making up the rest. Moving the toilet or the soil stack adds the most to a job, so if you can keep it where it is you will usually save money.

What moves the price within those ranges

  • How much plumbing is moving. A like-for-like swap is far cheaper than a new layout.
  • Wet rooms and walk-in showers, which need tanking and careful falls in the floor.
  • The tiles you choose and how much of the room is tiled. Large format and natural stone cost more to buy and to fit.
  • Extras such as underfloor heating, a heated towel rail on the central heating, or a new boiler to serve a bigger shower.
  • The condition of what is behind the old tiles. We always allow for making good, and we tell you before we spend anything unexpected.

Every quote is itemised so you can see exactly where the money goes, and our finance options let you spread the cost into monthly payments if you would rather not pay in one go.

ANDREW, VERIFIED GOOGLE REVIEW

★★★★★

“We had the bathroom changed into a utility, and a spare bedroom changed into the bathroom, so a pretty big job. No work was too much for the team, and Joe was only a message away.”

Bathroom Fitting FAQs

How long does it take to fit a new bathroom?

A straightforward like-for-like installation usually takes five to seven working days. A full refit with a new layout, wet room area or moved plumbing is normally ten to fourteen days. We agree the schedule with you before we start and tell you when the water and the toilet will be out of action.

Do I need to buy the suite and tiles myself?

You can, or we can supply everything. Some customers like to choose from a showroom and have us fit it; others prefer us to source the lot so there is one invoice and one person responsible. Either works. We are not tied to any supplier, so the advice you get is about what suits the room, not what earns us a commission.

Can you turn a bath into a walk-in shower?

Yes, and it is one of the most common jobs we do. We remove the bath, make good the floor and walls, fit a low-profile tray or a level-access wet room floor with proper tanking, and tile it through. It makes the room feel bigger and is far easier to step into.

Will I need planning permission or building regulations approval?

Planning permission is not needed for a bathroom inside your existing home. Building regulations do apply to some of the work, particularly the electrics and any new drainage, and we handle that for you with certified trades and the paperwork to match.

Do you cover areas outside Wigan?

Yes. We fit bathrooms across Wigan and the surrounding towns including Standish, Leigh, Atherton, Bolton, St Helens and Chorley, and further across Lancashire and Greater Manchester for larger projects. If you are not sure, ask and we will tell you straight.

Can I spread the cost of my new bathroom?

Yes. We offer finance options that let you split the cost into monthly payments. Ask when you request your quote and we will run through what is available.

What happens if something goes wrong after you have finished?

You are covered by our Peace of Mind Guarantee and a Fair Trading contract. If anything is not right, you call the same people who did the job and we put it right.
