โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

Family bathroom refit in Chelmsford, Eastern. Macerator WC under the stairs, compact basin, extractor ducted to the outside. Total project ยฃ8265, 12 days end to end. KBSA-aligned design service - the layout works much better than what we had drawn. Recommended to two neighbours, both hired them.

Used BestBuilders to find a bathroom fitter near Chelmsford. Three quotes within 24 hours, went with the firm whose foreman did the survey, not just a salesman. Existing CH balanced after the new towel rail went on, no cold radiators. Already booked them for the en-suite next year.

Three months in and the rainhead and handset combo is genuinely better than any hotel we have stayed in. Replaced the shower head when the spray pattern degraded after 11 months. Recommended to my sister-in-law - she used them too.
