If you're working with a tight budget or simply want a reliable and functional bathroom, the best advice is: keep it simple. From design to product choices, simplicity can save you time and money—without sacrificing style.

To reduce labour costs, avoid small tiles or intricate tiling patterns, which are time-consuming to install. At the same time, steer clear of oversized tiles that require multiple installers to lift and cut properly. Choose standard tile sizes with straightforward layouts to strike the right balance.

Minimize the use of complex features like concealed toilet cisterns, integrated shower mixers, or recessed wall niches. While they can look sleek, these elements often increase installation time and overall bathroom reconstruction costs.

If you're sourcing bathroom fixtures yourself, make sure to shop around—visit at least 3 to 4 suppliers. Just remember: the cheapest option isn’t always the best. Low-cost products may lead to performance or durability issues down the line.

Avoid purchasing bulky items like shower trays, baths, or toilets in advance. These should be selected only after a full on-site inspection and survey. For example, with a shower tray, it’s critical to ensure the trap can sit between floor joists to allow for a low-profile installation.

As a trusted bathroom renovation company in Manchester, we offer both PVC (composite) panels and traditional tiling. However, for residential bathrooms and long-term durability, we generally recommend tiles.

While tiling requires more time and skill to install properly, it offers superior longevity and a more polished finish. Tiles—especially when paired with professional waterproofing (tanking)—will easily outlast most PVC panels, particularly cheaper options with hollow cores.

PVC panels are becoming popular for budget-friendly bathroom makeovers, and some installers offer to place them directly over existing tiles. However, at Builders Squad Ltd, we hold ourselves to higher standards. We always advise proper bathroom preparation and waterproofing to ensure lasting quality and a clean, professional look.

Our renovation process is designed to be smooth, transparent, and client-focused. It begins with a site survey to understand your vision and requirements. During this initial visit, we go through a detailed renovation questionnaire with you to ensure we capture every detail.

Within a few hours of the survey, we typically provide a virtual estimate with tailored pricing options. If you decide to proceed, we schedule a final site survey around one week before the project start date. This meeting covers finer details such as tile edge trims, grout colours, and ensuring selected kitchen or bathroom items suit your space.

We pride ourselves on trust and quality—no upfront payments are required. Payment is only due upon project completion and after both you and our team have signed off on the work. An invoice is then issued.

In short—yes, it’s possible, but there are several important factors to consider. The feasibility largely depends on the location of your soil pipe stack and the ease of access to hot and cold water feeds, electrical supply, and main drainage.

Costs can increase significantly if structural changes are needed or if the new bathroom location is far from existing plumbing. We always recommend careful planning before making major layout changes, as they can be costly and complex.

Keep in mind that Building Regulations will likely apply, especially when converting spaces like bedrooms, storage areas, or lofts into bathrooms or en-suites. Our team is happy to guide you through the process to ensure everything is done safely and to code.

A full back-to-bricks renovation of an average-sized bathroom typically takes 12 to 15 working days. If you’re opting for more complex tiling patterns like herringbone or using smaller tiles, the installation may take longer due to the precision involved.

For kitchen renovations, the timeline usually ranges from 3 to 14 working days, depending on the size of the kitchen and the scope of work. Tasks such as plastering, flooring, painting, or electrical upgrades can extend the overall duration.

Our team will provide a clear schedule based on your project’s specific requirements to keep everything running smoothly.

Kitchen worktops are often one of the most expensive components of a new kitchen, so the right choice depends heavily on your overall kitchen renovation budget.

If you're aiming for a premium, long-lasting finish, we recommend quartz or ceramic worktops. These materials are highly durable, resistant to scratches and stains, and offer a high-end look that elevates any kitchen design. Quartz worktops, especially when paired with an undermount sink, also make cleaning and daily maintenance much easier.

For those working with a tighter budget, laminate or solid wood worktops are excellent alternatives. While solid wood worktops offer a warm, natural aesthetic—ideal for traditional kitchens—they do require regular maintenance and care. Laminate worktops are budget-friendly and practical, making them a smart choice for landlords, home sellers, or cost-conscious kitchen renovators.

Tip: Choose square-edge laminate worktops over rounded-edge ones. They’re not only more resistant to edge damage but also provide a cleaner, more modern look once fitted.

Yes, professional bathroom fitters typically take care of the entire bathroom renovation or remodelling process from start to finish — and that includes removing old fittings.

As part of our bathroom remodel service, we handle the safe removal and disposal of outdated bathroom fixtures, tiles, and other materials.

We also ensure the area is clean and properly prepared for the next stage of your bathroom renovation project.

During bathroom renovations, we understand how important it is to have access to a working toilet.

Depending on the scope of the project and the household setup, our bathroom fitters will discuss the best temporary solutions with you in advance.

In some cases, we can keep the existing toilet functional until the new one is ready to be installed.

For more extensive bathroom remodelling, we may recommend arranging a temporary toilet or portable unit. Rest assured, we’ll do everything we can to minimise disruption and keep your home running smoothly throughout the bathroom renovation.

Achieving a neat, straight finish when sealing a bathroom comes down to the right technique and tools.

Our experienced bathroom fitters use high-quality silicone sealant and apply it with precision, typically using masking tape to guide straight edges and prevent smudging.

Once applied, we smooth the sealant with a finishing tool or damp finger for a clean, professional look.

This attention to detail is a key part of our bathroom remodelling service, ensuring a watertight seal and a polished, long-lasting finish.

We always recommend choosing reputable brands when selecting kitchen and bathroom fixtures. While higher-end options may require a slightly bigger investment, they often offer better build quality, longer-lasting performance, and excellent after-sales support — all of which help reduce the risk of faults and costly plumbing repairs down the line.

Some of the most trusted names in the UK market include Grohe, Hansgrohe, Geberit, Roca, Crosswater, Scudo, Villeroy & Boch, Kartell, Bristan, Mira Showers, Tavistock, Duravit and Burlington for more traditional styles. For kitchen fixtures, we also recommend Franke and Blanco, both of which are known for their premium sinks and taps.

As experienced bathroom fitters, we’ve worked with a wide range of products over the years, and we’ve seen firsthand the long-term benefits of choosing quality brands when carrying out bathroom renovations or kitchen remodelling projects.
