Before the plumber comes
Take photos and rough measurements of the space.

Ask if the quote includes taking the old units away.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a licence for a new bathroom?
Work inside your home that does not touch the structure usually needs no licence. In a flat, check the building's rules on noise and working hours. Your câmara municipal can confirm.
What IVA applies?
Some building work on a home can have IVA at 6% instead of 23%. Our cost guide explains when.
How many quotes should I get?
Two or three. Up to three plumbers can quote for each request, so you compare them in one place.
Describe the job once
Up to three checked plumbers send a written quote. It is free for you.
