What we do

Bathroom Installation in Manchester

Nelson Plumbing & Heating installs complete bathrooms across Manchester, from a simple suite swap to a full strip out and refit. Because we are a plumbing and heating firm first, the parts you never see are done properly: the pipework, the falls, the waste runs and the waterproofing. That is what decides whether a bathroom is still sound in ten years. You get a fixed quote and a realistic timescale before we lift a floorboard.

  • Full bathroom strip out and refit
  • Suite, shower and bath installation
  • Wet rooms and walk in showers
  • Tiling, sealing and waterproofing (tanking)
  • Underfloor heating and heated towel rails
  • En suites and downstairs WCs

Know the signs

When you need bathroom installation

How it works

What actually happens

1

Design and quote

We agree the layout, the suite and the finishes, then give you one fixed price.

2

Strip out

Old suite out, waste and water capped, floor and walls inspected for damage underneath.

3

First fix

Pipework, waste runs, any electrics and underfloor heating go in before anything is boarded.

4

Tanking and tiling

Wet areas are tanked (waterproofed) before tiling. This is the step cheap fits skip.

5

Second fix and finish

Suite, shower, screens, seals and trims. Then we clean up and hand it over.

How long it takes. A typical full bathroom refit runs about one to two weeks depending on the size, the tiling and whether the layout is moving. A straight suite swap is much quicker.
The price

What is included, and what changes it

Included in your fixed price

  • One fixed price for the whole job
  • Wet areas properly tanked before tiling
  • Correct waste falls so it actually drains
  • Waste taken away, and the place cleaned

What changes the price

  • The size of the room and the amount of tiling
  • Whether the layout is moving (moving a soil pipe is a big job)
  • The suite and finishes you choose
  • What is found under the old floor once it comes up
  • Whether underfloor heating or a wet room former is involved
We do not publish a headline price for bathroom installation, it would be a guess. You get a fixed price after we have seen the job, and that is the price you pay.
Worth knowing

The parts of a bathroom you cannot see, and why they matter

Most bathroom failures are not the tiles, they are what is behind them. This is where a bathroom is actually won or lost:

Tanking (waterproofing)
Tiles and grout are not waterproof. Water gets through them. In a shower or wet room the substrate must be tanked first, or water reaches the wall and the timber behind it. This is the most commonly skipped step in a cheap fit.
Waste falls
A waste needs the correct gradient to drain. Get it wrong and the shower tray holds water, the trap gurgles, and eventually it smells.
The right board
Standard plasterboard in a wet area will fail. Wet areas need moisture resistant or tile backer board.
Pipework and access
Isolation valves in sensible places mean a future repair is 20 minutes, not a day of chasing out tiles.
Ventilation
An extractor that actually vents outside, not into a loft. Poor ventilation is why bathrooms grow mould no matter how much you clean.

Covering Manchester

From city centre apartments to Victorian terraces in the suburbs, Manchester housing varies hugely, and so do the heating systems in it. We cover the city centre, Ancoats, Chorlton, Didsbury, Withington, Levenshulme and the wider M1 to M23 postcodes.

Manchester is a city of two extremes: new build apartments in the centre, often on communal systems with combi boilers and tight service cupboards, and rows of Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Chorlton, Didsbury and Levenshulme with older pipework, original radiators and systems that have been added to over decades. The terraces are where we most often find sludge, cold radiators and boilers that were never sized for the house.

Questions

Bathroom Installation in Manchester, answered

Do you cover Manchester?

Yes. Nelson Plumbing & Heating Ltd covers Manchester and the surrounding areas, including the city centre, Ancoats, Chorlton, for bathroom installation and all other plumbing, heating and gas work. We are a Salford based company (M3 6GB) with Gas Safe registered engineers working right across Greater Manchester. From city centre apartments to Victorian terraces in the suburbs, Manchester housing varies hugely, and so do the heating systems in it. If you are not sure whether your postcode (M1 to M23) is covered, call the team on 0161 515 9977 or email admin@nelsonplumbing.co.uk and we will confirm straight away.

Are your engineers Gas Safe registered?

Yes. Every gas job Nelson Plumbing & Heating carries out in Manchester is completed by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Gas Safe registration is a legal requirement for anyone working on gas appliances in the UK, and it means the engineer has been assessed as competent on the specific type of work they are doing. You are welcome to ask to see the engineer's Gas Safe ID card when they arrive, and you should ask that of any engineer who comes to your home. The card shows a licence number and the exact categories of work they are qualified for.

How much does bathroom installation cost in Manchester?

The honest answer is that it depends on the job, and any company that gives you a firm price over the phone without seeing it is guessing. What changes the price for bathroom installation is mainly: the size of the room and the amount of tiling; whether the layout is moving (moving a soil pipe is a big job); the suite and finishes you choose. What we do instead is give you a fixed price before any work starts, so the figure you agree is the figure you pay. As one customer put it: "the job was exactly how much they quoted for, no scary surprises." For a free, no obligation quote in Manchester, call 0161 515 9977 or email admin@nelsonplumbing.co.uk.

How long does bathroom installation take?

A typical full bathroom refit runs about one to two weeks depending on the size, the tiling and whether the layout is moving. A straight suite swap is much quicker. Every job is different, so when we quote for bathroom installation in Manchester we will also tell you realistically how long we will be, and whether we need more than one visit. We would rather tell you honestly up front than turn up and disappear halfway through.

How quickly can you get to me in Manchester?

Nelson Plumbing & Heating works out of Salford, so most of Manchester is a short run for our engineers. For genuine emergencies, a burst pipe, no hot water, a boiler lockout, we prioritise the call and aim to get someone out as fast as we can, and we will talk you through making the property safe while we are on the way. For planned work such as an installation or an annual service in Manchester, we will book a slot that suits you. Call 0161 515 9977 and the team will tell you honestly when they can be with you rather than promise something they cannot keep.

What is included in the price?

For bathroom installation in Manchester, the fixed price we quote includes: one fixed price for the whole job; wet areas properly tanked before tiling; correct waste falls so it actually drains; waste taken away, and the place cleaned. If we find something during the job that genuinely changes the scope, we stop and tell you before we carry on, we do not simply add it to the bill at the end. Nelson Plumbing & Heating is a limited company (number 13649684) and we are members of Checkatrade and TrustATrader.

Do you work with landlords and letting agents in Manchester?

Yes. We carry out landlord gas safety checks (CP12 certificates), servicing and repairs for landlords and letting agents across Manchester and Greater Manchester. If you let a property with gas appliances you are legally required to have every gas appliance and flue checked by a Gas Safe registered engineer every 12 months, to give the tenant a copy of the record within 28 days, and to keep copies for at least 2 years. We can handle single properties or a portfolio. Call 0161 515 9977 or email admin@nelsonplumbing.co.uk.

What areas around Manchester do you cover?

From our base in Salford we cover Manchester and the wider Greater Manchester area, including Manchester, Salford, Stockport, Sale, Bolton, Bury, Rochdale and Warrington. Within Manchester itself we regularly work in the city centre, Ancoats, Chorlton, Didsbury, Withington, Levenshulme and across the M1 to M23 postcodes. If your postcode sits just outside that, it is still worth calling on 0161 515 9977, we will tell you straight away whether we can get to you rather than take the booking and let you down.
