Find a trusted local bathroom fitter
A bathroom project often brings together plumbing, tiling, ventilation and electrical work. Finding a local bathroom fitter starts with a clear brief: say whether you are replacing existing fittings or changing the layout. Include your UK postcode, room size and the facilities you want to retain or add.
The job form starts in plumbing; you can change the trade and describe the full project before posting.

Common projects include replacing baths and basins, fitting showers, installing toilets, renewing tiles and improving storage or ventilation. A full refurbishment may also expose damaged flooring or walls that need attention before new fittings go in. Explain whether you are supplying the suite, taps and tiles or want them included in the quote. Photos and approximate measurements can help the initial discussion, but final dimensions and hidden conditions should be checked before ordering materials.
What to check before hiring a bathroom fitter
Ask who will coordinate each trade and check experience with waterproofing, drainage and the products you have chosen. Electrical work near baths and showers needs particular care; confirm the electrician's relevant credentials and any required certification. Building-regulations requirements vary by UK nation and project scope. Replacing existing fittings is different from installing a new bathroom or moving services, so check with the relevant building-control service where needed. Ask for insurance covering the work and clarify responsibility for subcontractors.
Plan the work and compare quotes
Get a written schedule covering removal, preparation, plumbing, electrical work, waterproofing, tiling, fitting and waste disposal. Discuss access, dust protection and how long the bathroom may be unusable. Agree allowances for unforeseen damage and require approval before extra costs are incurred. Check whether product guarantees depend on particular installation methods and keep relevant paperwork. A detailed scope makes quotes easier to compare than a single total with no explanation of materials, preparation or finishing work.
