Anybody recommend a plumber / bathroom installer?

[DaveK]

I would like to change my bathroom. I have two options :

1) Rip out the existing suite and replace with another one, and replace all the tiling.

2) Carry out 1) and also remove the airing cupboard, replace the boiler with a combi boiler (in the loft), and put a shower cubicle where the airing cupboard is.

Obviously 2) will be a lot more expensive than 1).

Is there anybody on the board able to do this - or can recommend somebody? Preferably at non-Thames valley prices.

I'm getting some quotes at the moment but may decide it's all too expensive and stick with the crap green suite I've got.

Lui can do that I am sure :)

personally i'd completely forget about idea no 2.. way too much hassle. Just get a decent bath with a shower screen, and plumb your own shower into the wall, and connected to a shower pump.

I already have / had a power shower. But I would much prefer a shower cubicle. It will depend on cost - if having the bathroom installed is reasonable, and having the airing cupboard / shower cubicle done adds a lot, then I'll forget about it. On the other hand - if the bathroom costs shit loads anyway, and the cubicle adds a bit more then I might just get it all done.

Ultimately, I guess it really depends how long you're planning to stay in your current property.

Personally I dont think having a combi boiler in the loft is not advisable for practical reasons. rewiring electrics along with the plumbing and rerouting the gas will be a PITA, not to mention expensive.

Good luck :thumbs:
