“After several quotes , decided to go with ability bathe as they were going to do exactly what we wanted , ie turn my mums bathroom into a wet room. My mum has ms and they were very aware of this and not only did they put in everything we required they caused her no stress or upset while carrying out the works . There was a couple of minor hiccups along the way which were dealt with promptly and professionally. My mum was left with a stunning wet room style bathroom which is easier for her to use and beautiful. I can’t thank the team enough. Very professional Would recommend to anyone .”

Highlights
“I urgently needed a bath removed and a walk-in shower installed. Jay, from Ability Bathe responded to my request and in less than 48 hours, Jay had confidently talked through and shown me all the options I had in order to transform my bathroom. Jay was polite, thorough in what my options were and was able to provide me with a quote the same day. Jay arrived promptly on the day with Charlie and Joe and talked everything through that would be happening. I was kept informed the whole way. The work was completed in less than a day. The work was exceptional and everything was left clean and tidy.”
“Fast and efficient, cleaned up as they went, recommended.”

Check the TrustMark registerNever pay a large deposit up front. Agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
