Used BestBuilders to find a bathroom fitter near Ilkeston. Got the brief out on Monday, three quotes by Thursday lunch, chose the team with the longest workmanship guarantee on offer. 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 soft-close drawers and doors still feel showroom-perfect. Builder we found via BestBuilders in Ilkeston did a 6-week aftercare visit unprompted. Insurance premium dropped slightly with the new water-leak detection.
