Bungalow Bathroom Refit in Burslem
Fully tanked, level-access wet rooms for accessibility or premium spec.
Bungalow bathrooms in Burslem tend to sit on solid concrete floors rather than joists, which changes almost every part of the plan — waste routes are chased into the slab, level-access is easier to achieve, but door widths and turning circles need thinking about from day one.
We refit bungalow bathrooms with future mobility in mind: wider doorsets, blocking noggins for grab-rail fitment later, and lever taps over quarter-turn crossheads.
We've fitted wet-room conversion in Burslem long enough to know the houses inside out.

Bungalow Bathroom Refit FAQs — Burslem
- Is level access easier in a Burslem bungalow?
- Usually yes — solid concrete floors take a wet-floor former set into the slab far more cleanly than suspended joists. It's one of the reasons bungalow wet rooms are so popular in Burslem.
- Will you widen the doorway if my wheelchair won't fit?
- We coordinate with joiners on doorway widening (typically 762mm to 838mm) when the survey shows it's needed. Structural openings are checked before quote.
- Can I keep a bath and still have step-free shower access?
- Yes — a walk-in bath alongside a level-access shower is a common Burslem bungalow layout, particularly for couples with different needs.
- How disruptive is a solid-floor refit?
- Chasing waste into a slab makes noise and dust for 1–2 days at the start. We contain it with plastic zip walls and dust extractors — the rest of the Burslem bungalow stays liveable.
- 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.
- Are you fully insured for work in Burslem?
- Yes — we hold full public liability cover and every job in Burslem comes with a written workmanship guarantee.
