I'm thinking of replacing a bathroom this year. It's not too big, about 2.2m x 2.3m, and currently only the shower corner is tiled, the rest is just painted plaster. I'd like the whole thing tiled next time. In a situation like this am I better off finding a bathroom company to do the whole job or separate bathroom fitter and tiler?
Keep it separate I’d say but just let one person run the job. I do bathrooms so give me a shout when the time is right. HT will vouch for me I hope……… it certainly wasn’t my fault the floor collapsed.
I would have a word with @Wrong-Direction if you are in Brighton or surrounding areas

Thanks for the replies above. I will bookmark this thread and come back to the recommendations on it in when I'm looking to get the job going. It's interesting reading for sure.
Remember though……. 5 minute job.

The most curious thing..
I watch YouTube DIY videos and think "this look a piece of p*ss. Anyone can do that".
Then I look at my last DIY attempt and remember why I pay for someone who knows what he/she is actually doing to do it.

I said you do know if something happens to your property and you haven’t received the correct paper work from a qualified electrician your insurer will not pay out should you need to claim. Silence and she hung up I wonder how many other sparks actually told her to f### offSure have been, I know every customer scam going from my usual guy was going to do the job for xxxx or if you can do this job cheaper we have loads more work
