Garden-floor en-suite bathroom in Edinburgh, South Scotland. Stripped to brickwork, new soil pipe routing, walk-in shower with linear drain. Total £6805 across 9 days on site. TTA Master Tiler card-holder, the grout lines look machine-cut. Cleanest job we have had in this house in years.
Used BestBuilders to find a bathroom fitter near Edinburgh. Got the brief out on Monday, three quotes by Thursday lunch, picked the mid-priced option for the itemised waterproofing detail. Schedule slipped two days because of a vanity unit delivery delay - flagged on day one. Snagging list resolved within a week of completion.
Two years on now and the underfloor heating is the standout - no cold tile shock first thing. Builder we found via BestBuilders in Edinburgh did a 6-week aftercare visit unprompted. Insurance premium dropped slightly with the new water-leak detection.
