Bathroom fitting for Trentham homes
Trentham is mostly interwar semis and detached houses, which is a very particular kind of bathroom job: a decent sized room, a solid original layout, and an owner who wants it modernised without losing the proportions of the house.
The 1930s semi bathroom usually sits above the hall or the kitchen, with the original small window and a boxed stack in the corner. Almost every Trentham refit we quote involves deciding whether to keep a bath, and whether the airing cupboard next door can give up space to the shower.

See details →What we usually find in Trentham bathrooms
- 11930s bathrooms often have an airing cupboard backing onto them that can be reclaimed to fit a proper shower enclosure.
- 2Original small windows leave the room dark and poorly ventilated, so lighting and extraction need designing rather than reusing.
- 3Timber floors over a hall have services running through them, so the deck has to be opened carefully rather than ripped out.
- 4Bungalows need the floor level and threshold worked out early if a wet room or level access tray is wanted.
Working on site in Trentham
- Nearly all properties have driveways, so a skip and a van can usually sit on the plot with no permit needed.
- The A34 and A5035 give quick access, though the Trentham Estate visitor traffic slows things at weekends.
- Bungalow work means most materials move at ground level, which shortens strip out days.
- Wider verges and drives make delivery of large trays and panels straightforward compared with terraced streets.

Trentham bathroom questions, answered
Can the airing cupboard be used to make the shower bigger?
Very often yes, and in a 1930s Trentham semi it is the single change that transforms the room. It depends on what the cupboard holds, whether the cylinder stays and where the pipework runs. We measure it at survey and show you the resulting layout before you commit.
We are in a bungalow and want level access. Is that possible?
Usually. On a suspended timber floor a former can be recessed between the joists. On a solid floor the choice is a very low profile tray or building up the surrounding floor. Both work, but they cost differently, so the floor type is the first thing we check.
Our shower is weak. Is that the shower or the system?
In interwar houses it is usually the system. A gravity fed cylinder gives limited pressure to an upstairs shower. The honest options are a pump, a change to a mains pressure system, or an electric shower, and we price them side by side.
How long does a typical Trentham family bathroom take?
A full refit in a semi of this age normally runs one to two weeks on site depending on tiling area and whether the layout moves. Bungalow level access work can take longer where the floor needs building out.
