Planning a fitted bathroom in East Greenock

Write down what is not working

A bath you rarely use, a cramped basin and nowhere for towels are different problems. Rank them before collecting ideas. If you need a better shower above everything else, protect the space and budget for that decision. Keep a second list of details you would like if the layout allows them.

Look at the existing room before moving fittings

Note the window, doorway, radiator, toilet position and any boxed-in pipework. Changing positions can affect drainage and preparation, so ask what is practical before ordering products. For a flat, include shared access and where deliveries could be received; for a family home, explain whether this is the only bathroom. These details belong in the initial discussion.

Choose a direction, then check the specification

A few well-chosen inspiration photographs are more useful than a folder of conflicting styles. Explain what you like about each: the storage, colour, shower entrance or lighter feel. Then turn the preferred look into named products, suitable finishes and an agreed fitting scope. Photography is a starting point, not proof that a particular layout will fit your home.

Agree the practical details in writing

Clarify who supplies each item, who checks deliveries, and what removal, preparation and finishing are included. Ask how hidden damage or other changes would be quoted and approved. Confirm access, payment stages and the fitting schedule once the specification is settled. A useful first enquiry can be short: your postcode, the type of room and the main change you want to make.
