Garden-floor en-suite bathroom in Shaftesbury, South West. Stripped to brickwork, new soil pipe routing, walk-in shower with linear drain. Settled at ยฃ15555 for a 13-day project. KBSA-aligned design service - the layout works much better than what we had drawn. Tile grout still bright white after a winter of use.

Used BestBuilders to find a bathroom fitter near Shaftesbury. Got the brief out on Monday, three quotes by Thursday lunch, picked the mid-priced option for the itemised waterproofing detail. Skip arrived day one, gone day two, no clutter on the drive at any point. Already booked them for the en-suite next year.

Two years on now and the underfloor heating is the standout - no cold tile shock first thing. Re-balanced the shower thermostat at the 3-month visit, no charge. Recommended to my sister-in-law - she used them too.
