Do you replace shower trays for a small job?

Yes, replacing shower trays is common. The scope depends on access, tiling and drainage. Share the age of the property, access, and what you want to change so the Bathroom Fitter can plan the right approach.

What is included in a refit?

A refit usually includes removing old fixtures, fitting new ones and completing tiling and finishing. Ask the Bathroom Fitter to confirm the exact scope. It helps to note any existing issues, recent work, and the areas involved.

How do I compare quotes?

Compare the scope, materials, access and disposal rather than price alone. A written breakdown helps you compare like for like. 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. 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.

What about underfloor heating?

Some refits include underfloor heating. This may require additional electrical work and changes to the floor build up. Share the age of the property, access, and what you want to change so the Bathroom Fitter can plan the right approach.
