Bungalow Bathroom Refit in Tunstall
Fully tanked, level-access wet rooms for accessibility or premium spec.
Bungalow bathrooms in Tunstall 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.
Tunstall is one of the areas we work in most weeks — so wet-room conversion jobs here come with a working knowledge of the street layouts.

Bungalow Bathroom Refit FAQs — Tunstall
- Is level access easier in a Tunstall 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 Tunstall.
- 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 Tunstall 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 Tunstall bungalow stays liveable.
- How quickly can you start a job in Tunstall?
- 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 Tunstall home liveable while the work runs.
