When undergoing any type of installation in your home, the most important thing you need to do is find a reliable company who can get the work done to a high standard. If you’ve been considering installing a walk in shower bath for yourself or a loved one, the last thing you want is low-quality work, especially as the user is already vulnerable.
Wet rooms, walk-in showers and mobility-friendly baths are great for those who need a little more support using the bathroom as they reduce the chances of slips and falls which could result in serious injuries. Did you know that if an elderly person falls, 47% of the time they cannot get up without assistance?
Assistive bathing is one appliance that can transform the practicality of a bathroom, but before you can benefit from this installation you need to find a professional team who can help. In this blog, we discuss some of the best ways you can find a trusted bathroom installation company for your project.
Who can install a walk in shower bath?
When it comes to renovating your bathroom such as installing a bath with doors, you should also go to a professional company or fitter. The bathroom is not a room where you want things to go wrong and putting your trust in the wrong people could mean issues crop up such as leaks. You’ll need to do some research in order to find a reliable company, never settle on the first people you find. It’s always better to do some comparisons first.
Where can you find reliable fitters?
It’s not hard to find a professional bathroom fitter if you do a little research and it will make all the difference to your end results. You can find a reliable company by:
Searching the internet
The internet is probably the first place you will go to find a local bathroom fitter as it will bring up a list of nearby companies and services that are relevant to your search. There are a lot to choose from so make sure you include specific information in your search, such as ‘walk in bath’ or ‘disabled bath’ to narrow down your selection. You can also tell a lot about a company by their online presence if their website has very few details, for example, have they kept things up to date?
Checking they provide the right services
There’s no point pursuing anything with a company that doesn’t provide exactly what you need so always check their services page to see exactly what they specialise in. Bathroom fitters are likely to offer a range of services, however, mobility-friendly products such as wet room showers and baths with doors require greater expertise and a good understanding of what these specialist clients need. Choosing someone who is experienced in this area means you can feel more confident in their abilities and they can offer professional guidance about choosing the right product.
Ask about experience
If you’re unsure whether a company is experienced enough to complete the work you require, simply ask! Don’t be afraid to find out more about their experience as any reliable, trustworthy fitters shouldn’t have a problem telling you about their previous work and what makes them a good fit for the job, in fact, they should already be selling themselves to you.

Getting more than one quote
Once you’ve found a few companies that offer exactly what you need it’s time to get a quote. A reliable company will want to assess the space themselves so they can assess your needs and give you an accurate quote. It’s a good idea to gather at least three quotes for comparison but the price shouldn’t be the only thing you consider. You may be getting a lower price with another company but does their customer service match up? Sometimes it’s worth paying a little more to have a great overall experience; peace of mind with warranties and the job done properly without any need to come back to fix issues. Instead of hiring someone who just wants to get the job done and leave.
Read Reviews
Today you can find reviews on almost anything, including bathroom fitters. If you want to find out more about a company simply give their name a search on the internet and you may find customer reviews. From information about shower installation cost to customer service, getting a second opinion on things could save you from choosing an unreliable fitter.
