Bathroom Design and Installation tips
Hi I am a bathroom "expert" and have run a company for 20 years specialising in the design, supply and installation of bathrooms in Edinburgh and the Lothians area.
Throughout this period the company has been a member of the Federation of Master Builders organisation.
We are often asked to provide decent quality, hard wearing and attractively finished bathrooms for "buy to let" clients, young families and first time home buyers on a limited budget. If you follow our top ten tips below, there is no reason why you cannot achieve similar results for budgets of less than 3000 pounds.
Our Top Ten Tips for an Economy Bathroom Design and Installation project
1) Don't be overly ambitious with your bathroom design:- The new bath/shower/wc/basin should be positioned almost exactly where the old units were positioned:- remember that professional labour costs account for at least 70% of an economy bathroom re-fit and running new drainage and water supply pipe-work is time consuming and involves extra material costs
2) Before you spend any money on tiles and fittings, hire an all-trades professional fitting team:- There are no savings to be made in flooding out your downstairs neighbour through botched DIY or through cash in hand and "fly by night" cowboys:- If your carefully selected and vetted professional outfit does have an unlikely but potentially expensive accident, then the company insurance ( check this out before hiring them) will cover the costs involved:- Pre selection will also allow you to involve the experts in the design and vital material/fittings selection process
