Can a new-build bathroom be re-fitted without warranty issues?

Yes — bathroom finishes are not normally covered under NHBC after handover. Underlying plumbing should be checked before any opening-out; we'll flag anything we wouldn't disturb.

What's typically wrong with developer-spec bathrooms in Fenton?

Plasterboard behind tile with no tanking; chipboard floor with no waterproof overlay; basic single-lever mixers; budget trays and screens. Functional, but with a short maintenance cycle.

Do you work around the existing layout or change it?

Either. Many Fenton new-builds are decent in plan but poor in finish — we'll cost a like-for-like upgrade and a re-plan side by side.

How long does a new-build re-fit take?

Most Fenton new-build bathrooms run 7–10 working days from strip to handover.

Can you fit a bathroom in a Victorian terrace without losing too much space?

Yes — much of our work in Fenton is in narrow Victorian terraces. We typically reset the door swing, move the basin onto a wall-hung run and recess the WC cistern to free up usable floor.

How long does a full bathroom in Fenton typically take?

A standard family bathroom in Fenton is usually 7 – 12 working days from strip-out to handover, depending on tiling area and structural changes.
