When it comes to fixing issues in your bathroom, it can be tempting to simply call up a general tradesman and hope for the best. However, there are many benefits to contacting a bathroom fitter instead. In this blog, we’ll explore why you should consider contacting a specialist in bathroom installation and repair when you’re in need of assistance. 

Expertise in bathroom installations 

Bathroom fitters are professionals who specialise in the installation and repair of bathrooms. They have extensive knowledge of the products and fixtures used in bathrooms, as well as the plumbing and electrical systems that make them work. This means that when you contact a bathroom fitter, you can be sure that you’re dealing with someone who knows what they’re talking about. 

Tradesmen, on the other hand, may not have the same level of expertise when it comes to bathroom installations. While they may be able to fix some issues, they may not be familiar with the specific products and fixtures used in your bathroom. This can lead to delays and higher costs as they try to figure out how to fix the problem. 

Specialised tools and equipment 

Bathroom fitters also have specialised tools and equipment that are specifically designed for bathroom installations and repairs. This means that they can quickly and efficiently diagnose and fix problems without damaging your bathroom or making a mess. 

Tradesmen may not have access to the same tools and equipment, which can make it more difficult for them to fix your bathroom issues. They may need to spend more time and effort trying to diagnose and fix the problem, which can lead to higher costs for you. 

High-quality workmanship 

When you contact a bathroom fitter, you can be sure that you’re getting high-quality workmanship. Bathroom fitters have years of experience installing and repairing bathrooms, which means that they have a keen eye for detail and know how to get the job done right the first time. 

Tradesmen may not have the same level of experience or attention to detail when it comes to bathroom installations and repairs. This can lead to shoddy workmanship, which can cause further problems down the line. 

Cost-effective solutions 

Contrary to popular belief, contacting a bathroom fitter can actually be more cost effective than calling a general tradesman. Bathroom fitters specialise in bathroom installations and repairs, which means that they have a deep understanding of the products and fixtures used in bathrooms. This allows them to quickly and efficiently diagnose and fix problems, which can save you both time and money. 

Tradesmen may not have the same level of expertise, which means that they may need to spend more time and effort trying to diagnose and fix the problem. This can lead to higher costs for you, as you may need to pay for additional hours of labour. 

You can’t buy experience 

Starting out as a bathroom fitter is a learning process, as gaining years of experience is essential, and mistakes are part of the learning curve. A good starting point is to learn from experienced bathroom fitters. For new, younger installers, it is important to gain the necessary experience to provide good advice. At Alan Heath, our youngest installer has been with us for 5 years and if he encounters a problem that he has not dealt with before, he can rely on the vast amount of experience within the company. This includes over 100 years of combined experience from the staff, and over 150 years when considering their previous work experience elsewhere. 

Peace of mind 

Finally, contacting a bathroom fitter can give you peace of mind. When you’re dealing with bathroom issues, it can be stressful and overwhelming. By contacting a specialist in bathroom installations and repairs, you can rest assured that the problem will be fixed quickly and efficiently. 

Tradesmen may not be able to provide the same level of reassurance, as they may not be familiar with the specific products and fixtures used in your bathroom. This can lead to delays and uncertainty, which can add to your stress levels. 

Overall, there are many reasons why you should consider contacting a bathroom fitter rather than a general tradesman when you’re in need of bathroom installations or repairs. Bathroom fitters have the expertise, specialised tools and equipment, and high-quality workmanship that is necessary to quickly and efficiently diagnose and fix problems in your bathroom. They can also provide cost-effective solutions and peace of mind, which can make the process of fixing your bathroom issues much less stressful.
