Survey, then a fixed written quote
What this covers
A whole room, delivered as one job rather than five separate ones
A bathroom renovation is not a plumbing job with tiling attached. It is a sequence: strip-out, first-fix pipework and waste, wall and floor preparation, tiling, second-fix sanitaryware, sealing, electrics where required, and making good. Every step depends on the one before it being finished properly and on time.
Pro Plumbing Solutions handles that sequence directly. Jack surveys the room, prices it, does the plumbing and installation work, and brings in and coordinates specialist trade partners such as tilers. You deal with one person from the first visit to the final seal, and you are not the one ringing round to find out why nobody turned up on Tuesday.
The survey is free, including for full bathroom and en-suite projects where the scope genuinely needs working through first; what can move, what cannot, where the soil pipe is, whether the layout you want is possible without rerouting waste under the floor. Only after that does a fixed written quote go out.
Layout advice is part of the job rather than an upsell. Small rooms and awkward en-suites benefit most from it: moving a basin a few hundred millimetres, changing a door swing or switching from a bath to a walk-in shower often makes a room feel twice the size. One of our Google reviews describes exactly that on an en-suite makeover, using every bit of available space.
The finish matters as much as the fit. Floors are protected, waste goes with the van, cuts are planned so the awkward tile lands where it is least seen, and silicone lines are cut clean rather than smeared. The room is handed back in a state you would be happy to show someone that evening.
Who it is for, and when
Homeowners doing a full replacement
A tired bathroom taken back to the walls and rebuilt, new suite, new pipework, new tiling, new seals, with the timescale set out before you commit.
En-suites and small rooms
Rooms where the layout is fighting you. Layout options are worked through on the survey so the space is used properly rather than just re-tiled.
People who do not want to project manage
Tilers and other specialist trades are brought in and managed directly. One number to ring, one person accountable for the finish.
Anyone who has had a quote with 'from' in front of it
The quote here is a fixed written figure for a defined scope, not a starting point that grows once the walls are open.
What happens if it waits
Bathroom projects fail in the gaps between trades, not in the plumbing
The classic bathroom disaster is not a burst pipe. It is a room stripped out on Monday with a tiler booked for Thursday who does not arrive, a suite that turns out to be the wrong waste centre, and a household sharing one toilet for three weeks while everyone blames someone else.
The cost of that is not only stress. Every extra week with a room open is a week of exposed floor deck, unsealed junctions and a household improvising. Where a shower tray or bath has been set but the waste is not yet properly connected and tested, a single use is enough to put water into the ceiling below.
Poor sequencing also shows in the finish permanently. Tiling started before pipework is properly fixed leads to boxing that has to be cut later. Sanitaryware fitted before the floor is level leaves a bath sitting on a shim. Silicone applied to a tray that has never been loaded with water splits within weeks, and that split is exactly where water starts tracking into the floor.
Then there is the money. A room half-finished by one trade and picked up by another is always more expensive to complete, because the second person prices the risk of inheriting someone else's work, and often has to undo part of it. Homeowners regularly end up paying twice for the same square metre.
Leaks from a badly finished bathroom are also the slowest to show. Water escaping at a tray junction or a poorly sealed bath edge runs into the floor void and out of sight. Damage is normally discovered from the ceiling below, months after the trades have gone and long after anyone will take responsibility for it.
Common mistakes we get called out to fix
- Buying the suite before the room is surveyed, then discovering the waste centre or tray size does not fit the space.
- Booking trades separately and assuming they will coordinate between themselves.
- Tiling straight onto unprepared or unsuitable board in a wet zone, then relying on grout to keep water out.
- Sealing a bath or tray empty, so the joint splits the first time it takes the weight of water and a person.
- Leaving surface pipework clipped across a newly tiled wall because nobody planned to chase it in at first fix.
- Accepting a 'from' price for a whole room, which is a quote for the easiest possible version of your job.
Our process
Five steps, in the same order, every time
01
Free survey and layout
The room is measured and assessed at no charge, existing pipework, waste position, floor construction, ventilation and what the layout can realistically become. Options are talked through honestly, including the cheaper ones.
02
Fixed written quote and schedule
Scope, specification and price go in writing, along with the expected sequence and timescale. Specialist trades such as tilers are booked into that schedule before work starts.
03
Strip-out and first fix
Old suite removed and taken away, then supply pipework and waste run to the new layout, chased into walls where required and pressure-tested before anything is covered.
04
Tiling and second fix
Wall and floor preparation, tiling by the specialist trade partner, then sanitaryware, shower valve, screen, taps and waste connections fitted and adjusted.
05
Test, seal, clean and guarantee
Every joint tested under load, trays and baths sealed loaded rather than empty, room cleaned and waste removed, and the work handed over with a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
What you actually get
The difference it makes once it's done properly
One accountable point of contact
The person who surveyed and quoted your bathroom is the person on site and the person you ring afterwards. No handovers and no trades blaming each other.
A completion date you can plan around
Specialist trades are booked into the sequence in advance, so the room is not sitting open waiting for someone to become available.
A price fixed before the walls open
Free survey, then a fixed written quote for a defined scope. Extras are only ever quoted separately and agreed before they start.
Waterproofing that lasts
Pipework tested before it is covered, trays and baths sealed under load, and wet zones prepared properly; the joints that normally fail at 18 months are the ones given most attention.
Space used properly
Layout advice comes as part of the survey. Small en-suites in particular gain usable room from decisions made before anything is ordered.
Guaranteed and insured
12-month workmanship guarantee, manufacturer warranties of up to five years on parts subject to their terms, and £1,000,000 public liability insurance.
In detail
Specification, methods and the variations a bathroom project can take
Bathrooms differ enormously depending on the property, the floor construction and what the room has to do. This is what sits behind a renovation quote across the Fylde coast.
Sanitaryware and fittings
Suites are specified around the room rather than the brochure: back-to-wall or close-coupled WCs, pedestal, semi-pedestal or vanity basins, single-ended and shower baths, and shower enclosures from quadrants to walk-in wetroom panels. Manufacturer warranties of up to five years apply to parts and equipment, depending on the maker and subject to their servicing terms.
Shower performance depends on the valve and the water system, not the head. Thermostatic mixer valves are used so temperature stays stable when another outlet is opened, and the valve is matched to whether the property runs on mains pressure or a stored hot water system.
Brassware, wastes, traps and flexible tails are treated as part of the specification rather than an afterthought, because these are the components that decide whether the room still looks new in five years.
Pipework and first fix
Supply pipework is run in copper or barrier plastic depending on the route, with copper preferred where it will be chased into a wall or clipped visibly. Pipework is chased and sunk into walls where the finish calls for it, rather than boxed in afterwards, a detail two of our Google reviews single out.
Waste is set to the correct fall in 32mm, 40mm or 110mm as appropriate, with trap depths chosen for the appliance and the void available. Moving a WC is the single biggest constraint in most layout changes, because soil connections dictate what is possible.
Everything is pressure-tested before boarding, tiling or flooring goes over it. A joint that is covered before it is tested is a future ceiling repair.
Surfaces, tiling and waterproofing
Tiling is carried out by a specialist trade partner brought in and coordinated directly, working to the prepared substrate. Wet zones are prepared for the exposure they will actually get; a shower enclosure is a different specification from a splashback behind a basin.
Tray and bath junctions are the highest-risk detail in any bathroom. They are sealed after the unit is loaded, so the joint is formed at the position it will sit in for the rest of its life rather than springing open the first time it is used.
Floors are checked for level and deflection before anything is set on them. A bath or tray on a flexing floor will break its seal no matter how well it is siliconed.
Variations of the project
Full bathroom installation, en-suite installation, en-suite makeover, bath-to-shower conversion, shower cubicle and valve replacement, bath panel and wash basin replacement, WC replacement and relocation where the soil route allows, and cloakroom or downstairs WC fit-out.
Smaller refresh projects are equally viable: keeping the layout, replacing the suite and shower, re-tiling and re-sealing. This is often the highest-value option in a room whose pipework is sound.
Not offered: gas work, boiler servicing and boiler installation. Where a bathroom project touches heating, it covers radiators, towel rails, pipework, cylinders and heating elements.
Property types across the Fylde coast
Period properties in Lytham St Anne's and Preston often have solid floors downstairs, deep joists upstairs and soil stacks in inconvenient positions; layout changes are possible but need designing around the stack rather than against it.
Interwar and postwar semis in Kirkham, Freckleton, Warton and Blackpool typically offer more freedom in the floor void, which is where bath-to-shower conversions and basin relocations become straightforward.
Modern estate housing in Penwortham, Bamber Bridge and Leyland tends to have compact en-suites where every millimetre counts. That is exactly where the free layout survey pays for itself.
Residential and light commercial
Most projects are domestic: family bathrooms, en-suites, cloakrooms, rental properties and holiday lets along the coast. For lets, the scheduling target is usually a fixed window between tenancies or bookings, which is set out in the written quote.
Small commercial washrooms in shops, salons and offices are similar work at a different duty cycle: the fittings need to take heavier use, and the schedule has to keep the premises trading.
Large-scale commercial washroom fit-outs and anything requiring gas-fired plant are outside the scope of this service.
