Ask a Trade: Bathroom Specialists

I’d like to remodel my bathroom by myself. I have decent DIY skills and knowledge and feel that with the right preparation/research I can undertake the job. What should I know before going into this project that I might not consider? What sort of safety considerations do I need to take into account? Is there any work that I must leave to a professional as part of the remodelling?

I live in Scotland. What sort of quotes can I expect to have a shower replaced? The bathroom itself is a seven square metre area. We currently have an old mixer shower but we’d like to have it replaced with a modern electric shower. What will a contractor like charge us as a total cost between labour, supply and any waste removal costs? As for the waste removal, will the tradesperson manage this themselves or will we need to hire a separate company/skip for this? Also, what sort of electric showers should we consider? We’d prefer a digital electric shower, something modern, up to date and long-lasting. What are the best products on the market that we should look into? Thank you for your time.

I need to get a new immersion heater fitted and also to have a new bath and sink to install. So clearly the immersion heater is our priority but the others need doing but is it worth doing each as my finances dictate or would it be best to wait longer and have them fitted together?

We are looking at converting our downstairs laundry room into an ensuite. The room used to be a bathroom so plumbing and drainage should already be there. Also need to block off a door and make a new one on the other wall. How much are we looking at?

Hi everyone. I’m hoping someone can help with our query. We have four bedrooms but one is a small box room. We would like to convert the box room into an en suite for the guest bedroom. The door would need to be relocated to the other wall. It could easily fit a toilet/sink/shower in the space. Can this be done fairly cheaply (but professionally)? How much money should we be putting aside for this?
