Bath Replacement Service in Burslem
Leaks, re-seals, tile and grout repairs, shower swaps and quick fixes.
If your Burslem bath is chipped, stained, or just the wrong shape for the room, replacement is usually a 2–4 day job rather than a full refit.
We strip, fit and re-seal — and we'll be honest if what's behind the bath panel turns out to need more than a bath swap.
If you're weighing up bathroom repairs in Burslem, the local detail matters more than the brochure spec.

Bath Replacement FAQs — Burslem
- Can I replace just the bath in my Burslem bathroom?
- Yes — if the surrounding tile and suite are sound, a bath swap is a 2–4 day job in most Burslem homes.
- Will the new bath fit the existing tile?
- Usually yes for a like-for-like replacement. If you change shape (e.g. straight to P-shape) we'll need to re-tile the wall above and end-tile the new profile.
- What about the floor underneath?
- We inspect once the old bath is out. If the floor is sound we re-bed; if there's rot we'll stop and quote the additional ply replacement separately.
- Can you fit a freestanding bath?
- Yes — joist check first (cast-iron and stone resin are heavy), waste re-positioning, and a finished plinth or floor-finish detail.
- How quickly can you start a job in Burslem?
- Lead time is usually two to five weeks from a confirmed quote, depending on the spec and our current schedule across the Staffordshire side.
- Do you tidy up at the end of each day?
- Yes — dust sheets stay down, the room is hoovered daily and we leave your Burslem home liveable while the work runs.
