    Bathroom upgrade

    Hello I’m interested in an answer on a question: I recently posted a job request for a bathroom upgrade with a fair amount that I would be happy to pay so why am I finding it so difficult to find a plumber? This is not the only site I have looked for a plumber on . I’m in London so I thought it should be easy. Does anyone have an idea as to why this could be ? I have already had 2 plumbers round to quote and they have gone cold without giving a quote on the job .. Any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong? Thank you
