Before you book

What to decide before getting bathroom quotes

The biggest decision is whether you want a supply-and-fit service — where the plumber sources and installs everything — or a fit-only service where you buy the sanitaryware yourself and the plumber installs it.

Fit-only is usually cheaper overall if you shop around for sanitaryware, but you take on the risk of incorrect measurements or missing parts. Supply-and-fit is simpler and the plumber takes full responsibility for the finished result.

  • Full bathroom fit-out typically takes 3–5 days
  • Tiling is usually quoted separately by a tiler
  • En-suites and downstairs WCs are simpler — 1–2 days
  • Structural changes (moving the toilet position) add cost and time
  • Always confirm whether the quote includes waste removal
