Who else fits bathrooms?

[Russell brown]

The majority of work I'm getting at the minute is bathrooms. Just out of interest I was wondering who else does a complete fit and who just sticks to tiles, or do you do any other trades?

I do. Multitrading its bit touchy subject on the forum.

Most of my work is building wetrooms, end product the tiling of it. Get a few splashbacks, hallway's, terrace's to tile but by default tiling in Norway is a wet trade enabling me to do all wet trades, don't ask... Anyhoo, fitting wood burning ovens is a wet trade as sealing into chimney is a brickies job and my boss bought a shop selling and fitting ovens a few years ago so been getting into that. thefireplace.no is our shop, nice work, just us, no plumbers electricians carpenters involved to let us down unlike the wetroom game

Everyone has has to multi trade to a certain extent in today's day and age to get by.

 

[White Room]

I stick to any plastering or tiling required mainly the latter...

I do full refits .....BUT I get the relevant trades in.
I work with a very reliable plumber .....yes there is one out there...lol
We have been working together on bathroom for 20 years now and it works well for us.
We got a decent sparky, plasterer ect to call on as well of needed...

 

[macten]

I plumb and tile - have got a decent list of sparkies, plasterers and joiners to call on when needed.

 

[gamma38]

I do complete installs.

 

[widler]

I cut and plain me own plinths and doors [emoji15]

Had a crap start to the day today!. Shower tray came out the wrong size (100mm to big) so had to spend all morning trying to find another one local. Tray fitted, pipe work for shower done, walls tanked ready for tomorrow and the floor tiled. Just hope tomorrow's better but exact do a thing to the wall tiles turn up

I don't start a job till the tiles are in the room to be tiled.
We often do the complete job and get every trade in as required, paying them on day of completion ensures a good service.
Have to admit I enjoy the occassional full job as everything seems to flow well. However when we rely on others doing the work for builders it's usually crap!
Latest pain is plumbers requiring holes drilled for radiator brackets! What's all that about - just marked the tile for him to drill - and now he's going to charge the builder for hole cutters and time.
Lady asked me to put up a toilet roll holder - told her I didn't have a drill! If it was my job I would but not for other firms.

 

[Mouldy]

I'm a qualified plumber and bricklayer, (don't do much of the latter nowadays though). Will do complete fits from plastering to plumbing and pretty much everything in between. To be honest Ive never really found that I can rely on other people so get on and do it myself.

 

[peteablard]

I don't get involved with water, had problems with it the past! Fortunately it's always been at home but it's put me off doing it for a customer. I will trim doors and plinths and I fit all types of flooring so a sort of multiple trader:sofahide: I'm slowly breaking back not the domestic market after spending several years on commercial jobs and I don't mind doing that little big extra to secure a job.

 

[Stef]

I do full bathroom installs but I get the relevant trades in also.
I could do most the work myself but it's less hassle & less time to get the proper trades in.
There's a big group of friends I can rely on that cover every trade so well sorted.
Could do with another good tiler though as I don't like turning work down.

 

[widler]

I'm a plasterer by trade ( I know, your all shocked and didn't have a clue) .
I think I'm pretty good at what I do, well no one complains, well not to me face ,and I'm quite small so they could bully me [emoji33]
It's why I get recommended to plaster/tile houses like this,some so called multi tradesmen like myself know the job

 

[stusgsx]

I do full re fits but use a sparky and plasterer. There's good money in it if you supply too and it's nice to have a break from just tiling sometimes

 

[Dave]

You must pong a bit then ... :lol:

 

[martin1c]

I do full installs all the time. The only trade I get in is the sparky.

 

[cam_low]

lots of money in the supply and fit. I have been offering the full service since i went S/E with my plumber ex mate back home. he helped me i helped him. four years of being taught led me to doing it myself.
I mostly get the trades in these days...keeps things flowing nicely and it doesnt lead to being sick of the sight of the same job, im sure you know what i mean by that.

 

[Dan]

I used to do full bathrooms and whatnot with Paul Riley. always preferred conservatory floors with UFH jobs! Hate small bathrooms with all the tools in and whatnot.

 

[Taylormade]

I do the lot. Kitchens included and always have done. Only trade I get in is sparky unless it's very simple. That said most of the work at present is tiling. Just done 5 bathroom floors in a big house. It got to be a bit like Groundhog Day! Sanitary ware out, prep, tile and re fit. None of the pipe work had ISO valves and getting a plumber in just to fit them would have been a nightmare.
