Everything you need to know about finding a Bath Installer

The bath is a great practical element in the bathroom but it is also ideal for relaxing, or even as a bathroom feature. To have the bath that you’ve dreamed of, it is important that you get the bath installation right. Here’s what you need to know.

While you might think that you’d be able to install your new bath yourself, it is strongly advised that you engage the services of a professional plumber to do so. This is because several things can go wrong when installing a bath if you are not familiar with every aspect of the process. The plumber can install standard baths or spa baths without a problem, connecting the pipes, making sure that the drainage is spot on, and so forth. If you are moving the position of your bath, they can also move the pipe work to suit the new spot. Be aware that moving plumbing can be an expensive proposition so you should make sure that the gain of doing so outweighs the cost and inconvenience of doing so. The plumber can also easily install your brilliant new tapware and make sure that it all works correctly before they leave. Sealing the bath can also be done.

The bath can be installed by the plumber or your project manager can organise for the installation if a new bath is part of a bigger bathroom renovation or building project.

When hiring the plumber to install your bath, ensure that they are correctly licensed, insured, and registered. If it is just the bath being installed, ask for a quote that covers every aspect of the work. If possible, ask for references so that you are able to tell the quality of the work for yourself and judge if the plumber is a professional that you would be comfortable with.
