• Renovating any room in your home can be a
  challenge. The bathroom, however, is particularly
  challenging, and there are a number of reasons
  for this. First, there is both water and
  electricity in the room, which makes it
  relatively dangerous to go messing around with
  fixtures and fittings. Secondly, you spend a lot
  of time in the bathroom, so its important that
  you choose a style that you like. Finally, there
  are issues of damp, so a high-quality damp course
  is essential.

• Many people choose to undertake bathroom design
  themselves, but we would recommend against this
  given the volume of problems that you might
  encounter. Instead, you should use a qualified
  bathroom fitter. This has its own problems
  namely, finding a fitter that will do the job
  well. Here, we will help you to understand how to
  find a reliable bathroom fitter.

• Trading Standards
• The first thing that you need to establish is
  whether the fitter is registered with the Trading
  Standards register in that particular area. For
  example, if you are looking for a bathroom fitter
  Preston, then you will check the Trading
  Standards register for the Preston area. It may
  be that your local area does not run a Builders
  Register, in which case you may have to research
  several other registers, such as the Local
  Authority Assured Trader Scheme Network.

• If you cannot find details on either of those
  registers because, as mentioned above, these
  schemes do not operate throughout the country
  then you will need to rely on other methods of
  checking. Here are a few companies that will be
  able to offer you a decent evaluation of bathroom
  fitters in your area
• Which? This company has become increasingly
  popular in recent years. Bathroom fitters (and
  other types of trader) sign up and pay a monthly
  subscription fee. Customers are able to comment
  on the reliability of the tradesperson. You may
  worry that the tradesmen place their own
  recommendations and skew results, but Which?
  takes extra care to eliminate false
  recommendations.
• TrustMark this is another highly relevant
  database of tradesmen on the UK. It is backed and
  supported by a number of government initiatives.
  They currently hold details of more than 300000
  tradespeople. If youre looking for bathroom
  fitter Preston, London, or all four corners of
  the country, then youre likely to find a
  reliable one by using this directory.

What To Do Once You Shortlist a Number of
Reputable Bathroom Fitters

• You need to contact each company with a number of
  different issues
• Give them a clear and concise brief of the job
  that you want when you ask for a quote. It is
  better to have the builder come in and look at
  the job so that they can quote more accurately.
• Ask for the quote in writing, with a breakdown of
  costs, as well as an estimation of completion.
• Check out a number of different references (look
  at the directories above, and then look online
  for reviews from customers)
• Use an established business.
• Only go for a quote if it comes with a written
  contract.
