Bungalow Bathroom Refit in Leek
Fully tanked, level-access wet rooms for accessibility or premium spec.
Bungalow bathrooms in Leek 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.
Plenty of the wet-room conversion we quote across Leek starts the same way: a house that's outgrown its original bathroom layout.

Bungalow Bathroom Refit FAQs — Leek
- Is level access easier in a Leek 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 Leek.
- 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 Leek 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 Leek bungalow stays liveable.
- Can a wet-room be fitted upstairs in Leek?
- Yes — but the floor must be cut and packed so the former sits flush. In a Leek 1930s semi we typically lose 25 – 40mm of headroom on the deck below to do it correctly.
- How quickly can you start a job in Leek?
- Lead time is usually two to five weeks from a confirmed quote, depending on the spec and our current schedule across the Staffordshire side.
