Factors to consider when choosing a bathroom fitting service near you

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.

Common bathroom fitting services

Bathroom specialists can help you revamp your bathroom, from installing a new bathroom suite or wet room to designing something more bespoke. They can sort out your plumbing and carry out any repair jobs like re-grouting and flooring.

They can also take care of the decorating. However, if a large bathroom is being worked on and it has a lot of floor tiling or plastering involved, a bathroom fitter might work hand in hand with a tiler or plasterer to get the job done more quickly.

If the electrics need to be touched as part of a bathroom refurbishment, a bathroom specialist can do this themselves if they hold a Part P certificate. Otherwise, they’ll leave this to a Part P certified electrician to complete.

If you have a specific bathroom design in mind, make sure you include plenty of details when you post a bathroom renovation job. This will help bathroom specialists quote for your home improvement project.

How much does it cost to hire a bathroom specialist?

The cost to hire a bathroom specialist depends on the type of work you are looking to get done, and where you live in the UK. The quality of your fixtures will also have an impact on costs.

On average, a new bathroom renovation will cost you around £14,000, or between £12,000 for a small bathroom and £16,000 for a large bathroom. These prices include the cost of purchasing new appliances.

As well as this, costs for other common bathroom jobs include:

· Between £200-400 to get a new shower installed

Planning permission for bathroom fitting jobs

Planning permission isn’t required to install a bathroom unless it’s part of a house extension. However, if you live in a listed building, you should contact your Local Planning Authority before carrying out any work as different rules may apply.

You won’t need to make a building regulations application to refit a bathroom with new units but drainage or electrical work might require approval. You are also likely to need approval if you’re turning a room into a bathroom. This is to ensure your new bathroom meets electric and structural stability requirements.

For more information on planning permission and building regulations, read our planning permission guide.
