What should I consider when hiring a bathroom fitter?

It’s really important that you choose a reliable bathroom company to carry out work on your bathroom. Failing to do this can result in stress and expensive repairs.

Before you hire, you should do your research to ensure that your fitters:

1. Are an experienced company with a strong history of high quality projects
2. Have all the necessary licenses and insurance needed to protect you and their workers
3. Have a good range of positive reviews from previous customers vouching for their reliability
4. Are offering the bathroom installation services you need, and are available to carry out the work in the timeframe you need it by
5. Are quoting a price and payment option that you are happy with, having compared the quote with other local bathroom fitting companies

The good thing about bringing in a bathroom fitter to transform your bathroom is that they’ll know how the different elements of your bathroom should fit together, so things like a pipe and cable runs will be in the right place before any tiling work is done.

They’ll also help you make good design decisions so you won’t be left struggling to open a shower door that’s too close to a wall or find yourself squeezed up against a wall while on the toilet.

A local bathroom specialist is more likely to respond quickly as they’ll be right around the corner and ready to help.

How much do bathroom fitters cost to hire?
