Used BestBuilders to find a bathroom fitter near Derby. Four bids, all itemised the way the spec asked for, went with the highest-rated reviewer rather than the cheapest quote. Sub-trades all turned up on time, the lead fitter coordinated end to end. Snagging list resolved within a week of completion.

A summer and a winter on, the thermostatic shower keeps temperature rock-solid even when the kitchen tap is running. Came back on month three to silicone-check, no charge. Insurance premium dropped slightly with the new water-leak detection.
