Can a level access shower be fitted upstairs in Burslem?

Yes, on suspended timber floors we notch the joists (within permissible depths) and recess a wet-floor former. On concrete first-floor slabs in some Burslem flats we upstand the room around it instead.

Do you set the falls before tiling?

Always. We dry-lay the tile field and set the four-way falls to the linear or point drain before any adhesive touches the substrate on a Burslem level-access job.

Are your installs Disabled Facilities Grant compatible?

Yes. We provide itemised quotes in the format Burslem OTs and grant assessors expect, and we work alongside adaptations teams routinely.

What drain type do you fit?

Linear drains at the entry threshold on most Burslem jobs — they take a full 1500mm shower head at flow without pooling. Point drains only where the layout genuinely needs one.

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.

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.

Level access showers are a different job to a walk-in on a tray. In a Burslem property the joists have to come up, a wet-floor former has to be recessed into the deck, and the tile falls have to be planned before anything is bonded. Skip any of those and the water goes somewhere it shouldn't.

We handle the joinery, the tanking and the tile falls in-house so the finished floor is genuinely flush with the surrounding bathroom — no lip, no ramp, no aluminium threshold strip.

Plenty of the bathroom fitting we quote across Burslem starts the same way: a house that's outgrown its original bathroom layout.
