Bathroom and shower room fitting in Hanley
Hanley is the city centre, so the bathrooms we fit here split sharply into two types: flats and conversions above and behind the shops, and tight terraces in Shelton and Northwood that were built for the pottery trade.
The two need completely different planning. In a flat or a former pottery building the soil stack, the floor build up and the noise rules are fixed, and the job is designed around them. In a Shelton terrace the constraints are the solid walls, the added rear bathroom and the parking.

See details →What makes a Hanley bathroom job different
- 1In flats the waste route is fixed, so a relocated shower or WC often will not work without a pumped waste.
- 2Concrete floors in conversions mean surface run pipework and a raised or boxed detail rather than a buried run.
- 3Acoustic and building management rules in blocks usually require an isolating underlay under tiles.
- 4Shelton and Northwood terraces have solid walls and rear added bathrooms with long shallow waste runs.
Hanley property types we work in
- Apartments and upper floor conversions above the town centre shops, where waste has to reach an existing stack within a set fall.
- Former pottery and warehouse buildings converted to flats, with concrete or steel decks that cannot be chased.
- Dense Victorian terraces in Shelton and Northwood, many in multiple occupation and needing hard wearing finishes.
- Interwar and post war semis on the Birches Head and Northwood fringes with standard upstairs bathrooms.

Access, loading and parking in ST1
- Town centre loading bays are time limited, so materials go in early in the day and in one planned drop.
- Many flats have no lift or a small one, which affects how baths, trays and boards are brought up.
- Building managers often need notice before work starts, and we plan the survey around that.
- Shelton terraces have permit parking and narrow streets, so waste is carried out through the house on protection.

Hanley bathroom questions, answered
Can I have a walk in shower in a Hanley flat?
It depends on the floor and the waste. On a concrete deck the tray sits on top rather than recessed, so the entry step stays. Where the fall to the stack is too shallow, a pumped waste solves it. We check both at survey before drawing anything.
Do you work in shared houses and rented property in Shelton?
Yes. The specification changes rather than the process: hard wearing panels or large format tiles, sealed edges, robust brassware and simple maintenance access, so the room takes heavy use between tenancies.
How do you manage noise for neighbouring flats?
Breaking out tiles and screed is the loud part, so it is kept to normal working hours and grouped into as few days as possible. Where the building requires it, an acoustic underlay goes under the new floor finish.
Is water pressure a problem on upper floors?
It can be. We test flow and pressure at survey, because that decides whether a thermostatic mixer shower will perform or whether a pump or an electric unit is the sensible answer.
