How to Choose the Best Bathroom Fitters in London

The best bathroom fitters in London are the ones who get the waterproofing right, leave the site clean every evening, and finish close to the day they promised. A bathroom is a small room with a lot that can go wrong behind the tiles, so who you pick matters more than anything in the showroom brochure.

I fit bathrooms across South London, from Battersea to Catford, so I know which corners get cut and what a proper job looks like. Here is how to choose a fitter you will not regret.

What separates a good bathroom fitter

• They get the tanking right. Proper waterproofing behind tiles and in wet areas is the difference between a bathroom that lasts twenty years and a leak into the room below. Ask how they tank a wet area.
• One trade-managed team. A bathroom needs a plumber, a tiler, an electrician and sometimes a plasterer. A good fitter coordinates them so the job flows, instead of you booking each trade yourself.
• A fixed-price, itemised quote. You should see the cost of labour, materials and fittings, not a single round number.
• Honesty about your pipework. In older London properties, what is behind the wall often needs work. A good fitter tells you up front, not as a mid-job surprise.
• Finished bathrooms you can see, and reviews that mention tidiness and timekeeping.

Red flags

• No mention of waterproofing or tanking anywhere in the quote.
• A price well under everyone else, which usually skips the prep that matters.
• Electrical work with no Part P certification. Bathroom wiring is notifiable and you need the certificate.
• Large upfront deposits, or cash only.
• Vague timelines and no written start date.

What a bathroom costs in London

It depends on the size, the spec of the suite and tiles, and what state the existing plumbing and walls are in. A small refresh and a full rip-out-and-refit are very different jobs. Any fitter worth hiring will see the room first and give you a fixed price rather than quote blind. Ask each one to price the same suite and scope so you can compare fairly.

Vetting checklist

• How do they waterproof wet areas?
• Is their electrician Part P certified, with a certificate at the end?
• Fixed-price, itemised contract?
• Can they show local bathrooms they have finished?
• One team, or do you have to book the trades yourself?
