Are you planning to redo your bathroom? There is a lot that needs to be dealt with when refitting a bathroom. In this article, I will cover 3 important things you need to take care of else you could get in trouble.
1: The first step obviously is to find a good person or a company to install your bath fittings. Remember these guys will be dealing with plumbing, which is water. So make sure that you do not cut corners on who you hire and pick the only best people for the job. If they make a mistake and there is a leak, it can cost you a lot of money to fix the damage.
You can start by asking your friends, family, and coworkers if they know any bath fitter. If not, go to Google and type: “Colchester bathroom fitters”. You will see a list of companies that specialize in bathroom fittings. Read reviews and short lists 2 or 3 that have good ratings. Then call them, discuss your project and hire the one you like the most.
2: The next step is to get your paperwork ready. Start by making sure you have a good insurance coverage to protect your property. This is important in case you get any water damage. You then need to make sure that your city does not require any permits. Some cities may want you to file for a permit before you do any major upgrade.
3: If you live in a building, you need to tell the management to shut the water off unless you have a local shut off valve. This could end you costing extra money if the management has to shut the water off to your unit so be aware. You may also need permission from the HOA before you start working.
