Student Let Bathroom Refit in Burslem
Full bathroom installations, project-managed by one local team.
Student bathrooms in Burslem take a hammering: five housemates, cheap toiletries, missed cleaning rotas, and long summer voids where damp goes unchecked. The refit has to be built for that.
We spec commercial-grade taps, robust stone-resin trays, mid-grey grout that hides normal wear, and extract fans on humidistat rather than switched — so damp doesn't build during voids or when a housemate forgets the switch.
When Burslem homeowners ask us about bathroom fitting, the first thing we look at is the room itself.
Where Burslem sits on our patch
Burslem sits in Staffordshire, served by Stoke-on-Trent City Council, with postcodes ST6. Burslem — the Mother Town — is rows of late-Victorian terraces around former bottle kilns, with some converted pottery flats and pockets of post-war semis at Middleport. It's reached easily via A500 and A50, putting it inside our regular daily route.
