The Existing Room Comes First
Removing the old bathroom can uncover damaged floors, weak walls or plumbing that needs attention. A fitter should inspect the room and explain any likely preparation before giving a final price.
Layout Changes Add Work
Keeping the WC, basin and shower near their current positions can reduce labour. Moving them may still be worthwhile when it creates safer access, better storage or a much stronger layout.
Products Create a Wide Price Range
Baths, showers, furniture, taps and wall finishes come at many price points. Spend first on reliable items you touch every day, then decide where a special finish will make the biggest difference.
Compare What Each Quote Includes
Check removal, waste, plumbing, electrical work, wall preparation, flooring and final finishing. A cheaper quote can cost more later if important work has been left out.
