10 questions to ask a bathroom fitter before you hire

All guides

A good bathroom quote answers more than “how much?”. Use these ten questions on every survey — including ours — so you can compare companies fairly.

  • Is this a fixed price or a day rate?
  • What products are named in the quote?
  • Who does the electrics, and are they Part P registered?
  • Is waterproofing / tanking specified for showers or wet rooms?
  • What happens if you find rotten joists or hidden pipework?
  • How long will you be on site, and what if that overruns?
  • What is the payment schedule?
  • What guarantee do you give on workmanship?
  • Is waste removal included?
  • Can I speak to a recent local customer?

What is the most important question to ask a bathroom fitter?+

Ask what is included in the written price — strip-out, waste, plumbing, electrics, waterproofing, finishes and making-good. Vague “supply and fit” lines are where surprise costs hide.

Is a cheap bathroom quote a red flag?+

Not always — but if it is dramatically lower with no itemisation, missing electrics, or a large upfront deposit, treat it as a warning.
