BEFORE THE BATHROOM FLOORING UPGRADE The original freestanding bath was removed to give Mike access to the existing bathroom floor. Once the bath was out, the condition of the timber floor underneath could be properly assessed and prepared ready for the next stage of the work.

With the bath removed, Mike prepared the existing floor before installing new boarding to create a suitable, even base for the new bathroom flooring.

Taking the time to prepare the floor properly is an important part of the job. Once the boarding was fitted and the area was ready, the new vinyl flooring could be laid to give the bathroom a fresh, clean finish. THE FINISHED MOSSLEY BATHROOM With the new vinyl flooring laid, Mike carefully refitted the original freestanding bath, completing the flooring upgrade and leaving the bathroom with a fresh, clean finish.

The existing black bath tap and radiator remained in place, with MGA Plumbing & Heating’s work focused on the bath removal, floor preparation, new flooring and refitting the original bath.

WHY FLOOR PREPARATION MATTERS IN A BATHROOM A good bathroom floor starts with what’s underneath it. Before new flooring is laid, the existing floor needs to be properly prepared so there is a suitable, even base for the finished surface.

On this Mossley project, Mike boarded the existing timber floor before the new vinyl flooring was installed. This preparation helped create a neat foundation for the new floor and a much cleaner overall finish. BATHROOM UPGRADES IN MOSSLEY & OLDHAM Not every bathroom project needs to be a complete refit.
