A bathroom is a small room that needs many trades: strip-out, plumbing, electrics, waterproofing, tiling and fittings. Proposals only compare well when every contractor prices the same job.
What should a bathroom renovation brief include?
A bathroom brief should include the room size in metres, what stays and what goes, the fittings you want (shower or bath, toilet type, vanity unit), who supplies tiles and fittings, photos of every wall, floor and ceiling, and when you would like the work to start.
What should a bathroom renovation proposal list?
A bathroom proposal should list net price, VAT and gross total separately; strip-out and debris removal; plumbing and electrical changes; waterproofing; the tiled area in square metres; the fittings and who supplies them; duration; the contractor's warranty; and payment stages tied to finished work.
Why is waterproofing so important in a bathroom?
A leak under bathroom tiles is costly to repair and often shows up months after the job is finished. Ask how the floor and wet walls will be waterproofed, and whether the waterproofing will be water-tested before tiling starts.
Do I need a permit for a bathroom renovation?
It depends on the work. Changes to the structure, the drainage connections or the common parts of a building may need approval, and in a block of flats the management committee may need to agree. Confirm with the contractor and, if in doubt, with your municipality before work starts.
How do I compare two bathroom proposals that differ a lot?
Compare what is included before the totals: check that both cover strip-out, waterproofing, the same tiled area and the same fittings. A much lower total often means some work is missing.
Before you sign: 6 questions
- Who removes the debris, and is that in the price?
- Is waterproofing included, and how is it tested?
- Which fittings are included, by type or brand?
- Who supplies the tiles, and how much spare is ordered?
- How many working days does the job take, and what happens if dates move?
- What does the contractor's warranty cover, for how long, and is it in writing?
