Bathroom fitting in Tunstall, ST6
Tunstall is dense Victorian terracing around the High Street with later semi detached estates running out towards Goldenhill and Chell Heath, so the job you get depends on which side of the town you are on.
In the terraces the bathroom is small, added later and tight on waste. On the Chell Heath and Goldenhill estates the bathroom is standard sized, the floor is timber or chipboard, and the common ask is turning a bath into a walk in shower without losing resale appeal.

What we plan for in Tunstall
- 1Small terraced bathrooms mean the layout has to be measured to the millimetre before a suite is chosen.
- 2Boxed in soil stacks on estate properties eat usable space and can often be reworked to gain room.
- 3Chipboard floors in estate houses swell around old leaks and must be cut back to sound material.
- 4Replacing a bath with a walk in shower changes the waste position and usually the floor build up.
Access in Tunstall
- High Street area terraces have on street parking only and busy daytime traffic on the A527.
- Estate properties at Chell Heath and Goldenhill usually have a drive or verge space for a skip.
- Narrow rear alleys behind terraces limit waste removal, so protection goes down through the house.
- The A500 is a couple of minutes away, keeping supplier trips short.

Tunstall bathroom questions, answered
Should we swap the bath for a walk in shower in a Tunstall semi?
It depends on the household and the house. In a two bathroom home it is an easy yes. In a small three bedroom family house, losing the only bath can affect resale, so a shower over a short bath is often the better compromise. We set out both options with prices.
Can the boxed in stack be made smaller?
Frequently yes. A lot of estate boxing is far larger than the pipe needs. Reforming it tight to the stack can recover enough width for a bigger basin or a proper shower enclosure.
Our upstairs smells damp after showering. Is that the fan?
Usually. Older fans in this housing type often discharge into the loft rather than outside, which puts moist air straight into the roof void. A correctly ducted fan with an overrun timer is the fix.
How small is too small for a Tunstall terrace bathroom?
Very few are genuinely too small, but the suite has to suit the room. Short projection WCs, 1500mm or 1600mm baths and compact basins are how these rooms are made to work rather than forcing standard sizes in.
