_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Colin is an experienced bathroom fitter. Very tidy. Very pleased with the result"
> Source: David R (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "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."

## Before you hire a builder
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- Never 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.
- Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
- Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current.
