We are looking to get a new bathroom put in. we've never done this before so we're a bit unsure of who does what. We are going to get a few local plumbers to come out and give us a quote but we're not sure exactly what they do and don't do.
The bathroom is long and narrow, there is a cupboard behind the door on your left when you walk in and the sink and bath are also on the left and the toilet right in front of you. The wall on the right is papered but needs to be stripped and skimmed before being papered again. We need a completely new bathroom suite the cupboard will get replaced with something new but it has to stay as it holds all the towels etc When they rip out the old cupboard we will lose the skirting boards and door frame. The skirting boards on the wall on the right are pretty rubbish and the door frames around the bathroom door are not great either.
So my question is, will a local plumber replace the bathroom suite, skim/paper walls, replace skirting boards/get someone to do it etc? Or do I need to be looking for the plumber to do the suite, then get a joiner and decorator to do the rest?
I'm completely out of my depth, we have some money for this project and we're prepared for it to cost more than we expect, I have major reservations about the floorboards, got a horrible feeling some of them may need replaced too. I'm just not quite sure what to ask them when they come round to give us the quotes.
Can anyone advise? thanks
