I need waterproofing done and shower base screeding too. I have some quotes from tillers and renovation companies, some very cheap, others more expensive and cannot decide which one is better. What are the reasonable rates for a bathroom renovation out there? Has anyone had any experience recently? Turnaround times? Also I am buying the tiles and fixtures and shower screen myself. Some advice is really appreciated. Thanks Re: Bathroom renovation 2Aug 25, 2017 8:32 am Buying yourself will save money. No matter what they say. BUT ... I'd ask to see previous work - and speak to the owners. The flash talkers are often the ones who end up stalling and not finishing the job for ages. You need to talk to at least 3 prior customers and see the work. Ask questions re times/costs/deadlines etc. I'd also include set payment times - before cash is handed over - and EVERYTHING must be in writing - EVERYTHING !!! Even the little things they tell you they'll do. Not just an email from you to them - but a firm agreement from them to do it. Also - a completion date - with penalties. Do not hand over more than 5-10% at the start - and DO NOT pay in advance for anything ! Any business that needs your money in advance is sailing close to the win imo. Get receipts for all payments.
