New-Build Bathroom Fitter in Tunstall
Full bathroom installations, project-managed by one local team.
New-build bathrooms in Tunstall are functional but rarely finished to the spec most owners actually want — chipboard floors, plastic trim, basic mixers and short-life sealant beads.
We re-fit new-build bathrooms with proper substrate, tanked walls and the suite you'd have specified yourself if the developer had asked.
When Tunstall homeowners ask us about bathroom fitting, the first thing we look at is the room itself.

New-Build Bathroom Fitter FAQs — Tunstall
- 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 Tunstall?
- 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 Tunstall 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 Tunstall new-build bathrooms run 7–10 working days from strip to handover.
- 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.
- Can you fit a bathroom in a Victorian terrace without losing too much space?
- Yes — much of our work in Tunstall 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.
