Compact ground-floor shower room in Folkestone, South East. Brushed brass fittings, statement pendant, microcement-effect tiles to one wall. Final ยฃ8515 fitted across 10 working days. Snagging list cleared in two visits, none of the half-jobs we had with the last lot. Already booked them back to redo the downstairs cloakroom.

Used BestBuilders to find a bathroom fitter near Folkestone. Two quotes verbal, one full PDF pack - we went with the PDF, highest priced - and worth it for the proper tanking spec. Foreman walked the spec sheet through with us before any work started. Recommended to my brother in Folkestone too.

Coming up to a year, the heated towel rail makes a real difference even outside the heating season. No follow-up needed - everything has just worked from day one. Worth the spend twice over.
