How Long will my Bathroom Renovation Take?

/in /by

Getting any work done in your house can be a major inconvenience. A bathroom renovation is no different. Things are made worse with the number of people in the household. Adults trying to get ready for work. Children slowly getting ready for school, and lets not get started on teenagers!!

It is therefore not uncommon for a person to ask how long their new bathroom will take to construct. How much of an inconvenience will it be to the running of the household?

In some ways, this is like asking how long is a piece of string. It can depend upon a number of factors, such as the size of the renovation, the amount of materials that need to be removed from the old bathroom, access to the work area, and the skill and ability of the tradesmen. This last point is what can separate a good bathroom company from a bad bathroom company.

BRM Bathroom Renovations is one of those higher quality companies that will complete the job in the shortest time possible. BRM does not run numerous jobs at a time, and can therefore concentrate solely on yours. All their tradesmen are experts in their field and this ensures not only quality work, but speedy work.

That’s great….but how long?

Most bathrooms should take 3-4 weeks to complete. Again, this depends upon a number of factors and if you arrange for a quote, you can ask for a more accurate time-frame for your job.

How do I Choose a Bathroom Renovator?

If you open up the Yellow Pages, or search on Google, you will see that there is a number of companies in Melbourne who specialise in renovating bathrooms. Add to this the variety of ‘kitchen’ renovation businesses, bathroom showrooms and cabinet makers. You will see that there is a lot of companies you could use to complete your bathroom makeover.

How do I Choose the Right Company?

One of the good things about the internet is the ease at which you can share information. This can work to your advantage when you are choosing a company for your new bathroom. Jump on Facebook or Twitter and ask your friends if they can refer a company. Go to a review site such as Google Places or True Local and read some reviews. This is definitely an effective way of checking out some of the bathroom companies.

You will also get a good feel for the company when you obtain your quote. Ask the person who is quoting you what their role is within the company. There are 3 roles this person could be: 1. owner and builder (small company); 2. owner and salesperson (mid-size company); or, 3. salesperson (large company). In my opinion you are looking for no. 2. A mid size bathroom company who is large enough to do the job well, but small enough to really care about their clients.

Samples and References

While it is still valid practice to ask for previous samples and references of work, don’t assume that because a person can supply 3 happy customers that all their customers are happy. Instead ask for their 3 most recent clients and see what sort of response you will get.

Quotation

Once you receive the quote from each company, ensure that it covers all items you requested. It is usually suggested to choose the middle priced quote, however this is simply a guideline.
