When to Hire a Professional Builder for Your Bathroom Project
Installing a bathroom often requires the expertise of several trades, including a builder, plumber, tiler, and electrician, with the possibility of also needing a plasterer or decorator. While some skilled builders can handle the entire project themselves, many also offer project management, coordinating the necessary trades on your behalf. Choosing whether to hire a professional builder depends on factors such as your budget, DIY skills, project size, timescale, and the type of bathroom fittings you plan to install.
There are many scenarios where using a builder is the best option, such as creating a brand-new bathroom, working with party walls, or altering structural walls. Builders are also essential when installing heavy or luxury fittings, constructing wet rooms, or ensuring compliance with building regulations. Additionally, if managing trades and schedules feels overwhelming, a professional builder can oversee the entire project, ensuring all aspects — from plumbing to electrics — are completed to a high standard, saving you both time and stress.
How to plan a bathroom
Before you get started choosing sanitaryware and looking at the latest bathroom designs, you should spend time planning a bathroom properly in order to ensure it is perfectly suited to your individual needs.
If you are using a builder to install the bathroom for you, liaise with them from the start about what you want from the new space — an experienced builder can be invaluable when it comes to explaining the practicalities of layouts, fittings and the likely costs involved.
A clear and concise idea of what you want from the bathroom will also form the basis of the brief you hand to your bathroom supplier, installer or builder. Many Master Builders can also help you design your bathroom so bring them into your project from an early stage.
When it comes to renovating a bathroom, begin by looking at bathroom layouts that will make the most of the space.
Begin with the position of the toilet, looking at the position of the existing soil pipe and where it enters the room — this will show you the best location for the new toilet and you can then work around that.
Use graph paper to mark out doors or windows, plus any existing features that may impact on the bathroom layout such as bulkheads, dormer windows, alcoves or sloping ceilings.
You can then play around with where to place sanitaryware (basin, bath, shower enclosure), being sure to draw it to the same scale.
If you use a builder to oversee the project, they may be able to work with you on the bathroom layout or even come up with several bathroom layout ideas for you.
It is important to think about who the bathroom will be used by. Anyone with young children, for example, may well want a bath and should think about easy-to-clean and non-slip surfaces. Alternatively, a walk-in shower and twin basins might be better suited to a main en suite bathroom.
