Shower Enclosure Replacement in Longton
Full bathroom installations, project-managed by one local team.
A lot of Longton bathrooms don't need a full refit — they need the shower enclosure taking out and replaced properly. The tile's fine, the vanity's fine, but the tray's cracked, the screen leaks and the seals have blackened.
We swap the enclosure without gutting the room: substrate checked behind the old tray, new upstands sealed to the tanking membrane, glass hinges torqued so the door drops don't come back in three months.
We've fitted bathroom fitting in Longton long enough to know the houses inside out.

Shower Enclosure Replacement FAQs — Longton
- How long does an enclosure swap take in Longton?
- Typically 2–4 working days: strip, substrate check, new tray set, screen fitted, sealed and left to cure. Faster than a refit because the surrounding tile stays.
- Will you find damp behind the old tray?
- On roughly 1 in 3 Longton enclosure swaps we find some moisture in the substrate. We replace with WBP ply or cement board and photograph the repair for your file.
- Can any tray fit into the existing space?
- Not always — we measure the tile line and existing waste position first. Sometimes a 900×900 slot needs a bespoke tray to hit the exact tile course.
- How long do the seals last?
- Two-part silicone with mould inhibitor: usually 5–7 years in a busy Longton bathroom. Cheap silicone starts going black inside 12 months — we don't use it.
- Do you tidy up at the end of each day?
- Yes — dust sheets stay down, the room is hoovered daily and we leave your Longton 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 Longton 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.
