What order and who?

[HalfShrunkMoreToGo]

We currently have a really knackered horrible old bathroom and it needs sorting.

The people who lived here before us took out part of the bathroom wall and stuck a stand-alone electric shower in the bathroom protruding through the hole, then just added some McD cladding round the sides to try to make it look like it was part of the room.

When we had the house electrics redone they disconnected the shower as we knew we would be removing it at some point and didn't want to use it.

So we need to:

• have the plumbing capped off to that shower
• remove the shower unit completely
• fix the wall so it's actually a wall
• replace the bathroom furniture with a white suite not the horrible coloured one we have now
• put in an electric shower over the bath

I know we will need someone to build the wall, someone to do the plumbing and someone to wire the electric shower in. We also need tiling/wall panels out in around the bath/shower.

Alongside this we need a new boiler fitted as ours is a piece of crap that trickles Lukewarm water or scalding hot or throws up error messages and doesn't work at all depending on some unknown set of circumstances we can't predict.

Is there a one size fits all tradesperson job that would be able to do all of this or will we need different people and if so what order do we go in?

Do we get boiler sorted first or wall and tiling then shower/furniture?

We have a 1930s mid terrace, single brick so all pipes are exposed not hidden in the cavity wall so assuming putting in new pipes would need to be done after tiling???

I think the boiler can be done separately to the bathroom. I'd deal with that first and then let the boiler person know that you plan to put a new bathroom in. You might need a certain amount of water pressure to get good flow in a shower. So might be helpful to get the right kind of boiler to supply your planned bathroom. Or be able to adapt your bathroom plans to what is possible from the boiler chosen.

A good bathroom fitter should be able to deal with all of the rest of the project. We had 1 guy in who gutted the old bathroom, did all the pipe work for the new bathroom, built a new wall and put in a false wall so we could have built in shelves and all the pipe work hidden. He fitted all the new sanitary ware and bathroom cupboards then tiled the bathroom. He had an electrician come in to do any electrical work - but he co-ordinated that.
