Student Let Bathroom Refit in Longton
Full bathroom installations, project-managed by one local team.
Student bathrooms in Longton 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.
Plenty of the bathroom fitting we quote across Longton starts the same way: a house that's outgrown its original bathroom layout.
