How long does an enclosure swap take in Trentham?

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 Trentham 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 Trentham bathroom. Cheap silicone starts going black inside 12 months — we don't use it.

Are you fully insured for work in Trentham?

Yes — we hold full public liability cover and every job in Trentham comes with a written workmanship guarantee.

We have a 1930s semi with a small upstairs bathroom — can you reconfigure it?

Most Trentham 1930s semis have a separate WC we can knock through into the bathroom, giving a much better layout for a walk-in shower without losing a bedroom.

Full bathroom installations, project-managed by one local team.

A lot of Trentham 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.

There is no standard Trentham bathroom, which is exactly why we survey before we price bathroom fitting.
