Our existing main bath & powder room were over 25 years old & needed a major refresh. After looking at on-line reviews for contractors, we contacted Guy at Bath Solutions & settled on a plan for re-doing both rooms. For the main bath we removed the bathtub, replacing it with a shower in the same space with ceramic tiles, replaced the vanity, toilet, taps & shower, & installed ceramic flooring. For the powder room, we replaced the toilet, vanity & installed ceramic flooring. Both rooms were re-painted. The main bath required quite a bit of demolition & re-plastering, while the powder room was more straight forward. We settled on a price estimate & startup date for late November, with Guy estimating that the work would take one week. We supplied the vanities, taps & shower tile.
Overall, the job went pretty much as planned, with the 'normal' types of challenges when doing major reno's in a 50 year old home. Damien & Harry showed up on the scheduled start date & were conscientious in their work & pretty good about cleaning up every day. Due to some minor changes to our plan when issues came up during the demo, the job took 1½ weeks - understandable in the circumstances.
The final cost was very close to the estimate & the quality of work appears to be quite good. Things that could have been handled better include more attention to detail in the painting (we had the painter back for touch ups & then still had some to do ourselves), & more attention paid to keeping the floor tiles clean once they were laid (we are still cleaning some spots which have some glue/silicone).
Overall, we are very happy with our updated rooms, and consider that we got good value for what we had done. Guy was attentive to our needs throughout the process, & his team were good workers who were very pleasant to deal with.
