How do I compare quotes for a bigger project?

Compare the scope, materials, access and disposal rather than price alone. A written breakdown helps you compare like for like. It helps to note any existing issues, recent work, and the areas involved. Ask what is included, how long the work may take, and what happens if extra issues appear.

Can you work with a tight layout?

Yes, but compact rooms may need careful planning. Provide measurements and photos so the Bathroom Fitter can plan the layout. Ask what is included, how long the work may take, and what happens if extra issues appear.

Do you handle electrics?

Some bathroom-fitters work with electricians for lighting or fans. Ask what is included and whether an electrician is needed. Photos and measurements can help the Bathroom Fitter give clearer guidance. If relevant, confirm how services will be isolated and when they will be restored.

Can you fit wall panels instead of tiles for a bigger project?

Yes, some fitters can install bathroom wall panels. Ask about options and how they affect the scope. Share the age of the property, access, and what you want to change so the Bathroom Fitter can plan the right approach.
