Why It’s Best To Leave The Task Of Installing A New Bathroom To A Professional Bathroom Fitter

When selling a house, the bathroom is the second key room which potential buyers will look for, following the kitchen.  A well designed bathroom which has been fitted to a high standard will often push a buyer to make an offer on the property, so when fitting a new bathroom it’s really important to get it just right.  Although many people will be tempted to have a go at fitting their own bathroom in order to keep costs down, it really is a much more sensible option to use the services of a professional bathroom fitter to ensure the job is carried out properly.

Most bathroom fitters will either have a plumbing or a tiling background, so when gaining quotes from potential fitters try and find out more about their qualifications and experience.  Although a plumber may be able to fit the toilet, sink and shower, they may struggle with other tasks such as light fittings, tiling, painting and decorating.  Instead, they may contract this out to a professional from that field, which although it will give a better result, may mean that project bathroom will take a little longer.

The bathroom fitter should help you to design your new bathroom to make the most efficient use of space and light.  They can offer practical help and advice regarding whether the waste pipe can be moved and whether an electric shower would be more powerful than a power shower, as this is dependent upon water pressure.

It’s a good idea to ask the bathroom installer to project manage the fit of the bathroom, particularly if outside contractors are going to be working on tasks such as the electrics or plastering.  This way, the bathroom installer can work out who needs to come in on what day so that everything runs smoothly.  After all, there’s no point in asking the decorator to come in and emulsion the walls if the plasterer has not yet finished!

Fitting a bathroom which has been well designed to make the best use of space and has been fitted to a high standard can increase the value of a home.
