Highlights
“Colin was professional, accomplished & honest. He said that I would have to wait a while for him to be available, so we agreed an approximate date for the work which he stuck to & kept in communication regarding dates. He quoted a fair price for an unusual job that meant working around & reusing current fittings. He was unphased by the challenges he faced removing the old shower & inbuilt cupboards & replacing with a new bath & wall panels. We are extremely pleased with the end result which was better than we had hoped for. Colin & his colleague were polite & friendly & cleaned up perfectly.”

This trade isn't licensed in the UK, so anyone can set up. TrustMark is the only Government-endorsed quality scheme for work in and around the home - check whether they're registered, or find a TrustMark-registered business.
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.
