Get bathroom renovation leads in the UK

Bathroom requests start with the scope: a full renovation, a tub or shower only, a refresh of the vanity, fixtures and tile, accessibility changes, or a new bathroom where there isn’t one. Homeowners also say which room (main bathroom, ensuite, powder room or basement bathroom) and the type of property.

What a bathroom renovation lead shows you

Every {lower} request answers these questions before it reaches you. Follow-up questions appear only when an earlier answer calls for them.

A new basement bathroom means new drains and venting, while a vanity refresh may not touch the plumbing at all, and the preview shows which one you’re looking at. Accessibility requests are their own choice, so if you install grab bars, curbless showers or tub conversions, you can say yes to exactly that work.

The guide homeowners get on this site

We publish a bathroom renovation guide for homeowners. It is written for them, not for us, and its headings are a fair list of what someone who has read it will ask you about.

Read the bathroom renovation guide

What the guide covers

  • Planning permission for a bathroom or en suite: the three cases that matter
  • When a bathroom needs building regulations approval
  • Bathroom electrics: zones, special locations and Part P notification
  • Extract ventilation, condensation and mould in a British bathroom
  • Drainage and Part H: why moving the WC is the expensive decision
  • Floors and waterproofing: what has to be right before the tiles go on
  • Guarantees, certificates and your rights when a bathroom goes wrong

Questions it answers

  • Do I need building regulations approval for a new en suite?
  • Do I need planning permission to redo a bathroom?
  • Who can do the electrical work in a bathroom?
  • Can I move the toilet to the other side of the bathroom?
  • Does a bathroom have to have an extractor fan?
  • Will my floor take a freestanding bath?
  • Does any of this differ in Scotland or Northern Ireland?

Licensing notes by province

These notes come from our provincial permit guides, which homeowners read before they hire. They summarize official sources and aren’t legal advice.

Browse all permit guides

  • England

    England regulates the building work rather than registering builders as a trade, so the question to ask is not "are you licensed?" but "who is getting approval for this job?". GOV.UK lists the work that needs building regulations approval — building and extending, replacing electrics, installing a bathroom, replacing windows and doors, roof work and heating systems — and warns that the person doing the work could be prosecuted and fined if it does not comply.

    Sources: GOV.UK – Building regulations approval

    Getting approval matters when you come to sell. GOV.UK warns that without building regulations approval you will not have the certificates of compliance you may need when you want to sell your home, so keep the completion paperwork or the installer's self-certification with your deeds.

    Sources: GOV.UK – Building regulations approval

  • Northern Ireland

    The regulations that apply here are the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012, which came into operation on 31 October 2012 — not the English or Scottish rules. They set requirements and standards for building having regard to the health, safety, welfare and convenience of people in or around buildings, and the standards cover health, structural stability, fire safety, energy conservation and accessibility.

    Sources: Department of Finance – Building Regulations in Northern Ireland · Building Control NI – What we do

    Ask for the Certificate of Completion at the end of the job. Building Control issues it once it is satisfied that all necessary Building Regulations have been adhered to, and it is the document that shows the work was signed off.

  • Scotland

    The warrant, not the builder, is what the law looks at first. A building warrant gives you legal permission to carry out building work, and mygov.scot warns that it is an offence to start building work without a warrant when you need one — you could be fined. Agree in writing who is applying for the warrant before anyone starts.

  • Wales

    Wales has its own set of Approved Documents rather than following England's, so check the Welsh guidance for the job you are having done. As in England, the consent attaches to the work: ask your builder how the job will be shown to meet the building regulations.

How matching works

Requests are matched by published rules that are the same for every pro.

How we rank and match pros
  • You receive a request only for services you offer and haven’t excluded, in the areas you serve.
  • Your account must be active, with your email address and phone number verified, and you must be accepting new requests within the daily or weekly limits you set.
  • Requests reach you only with timings you accept, such as emergencies, and budgets that aren’t clearly outside the range you work in.
  • When more pros fit than a lead allows, we give more weight to an exact service match, how directly you cover the area, verification, how quickly you reply and, once you have at least three published reviews, your rating. Never to who pays more.
  • Each lead goes to a limited number of pros, and you see that number before you decide.

Invalid leads and refunds

If a lead turns out to be invalid, you can ask for a refund review from your dashboard. We look at each request and let you know the outcome. A lead may qualify when:

  • The contact details are wrong or don't work.
  • It duplicates a lead you already received.
  • It isn't a real request for work.
  • It's outside the services or areas you listed.

Verification you’ll need

Before you receive leads, you confirm your business email and phone number with one-time codes. Business registration, licence and insurance details are optional during sign-up; once our team checks them, your profile shows what was verified and when.

  • Contact details verified

    You confirm your business email and phone number with one-time codes. This is required before you receive leads.

  • Business registration checked

    Our team reviews the registration details you provide.

  • Licence and insurance checked

    Where your trade calls for a licence or insurance, we review what you provide.

Verification shows which details were checked and when. It isn’t a guarantee of workmanship, and it can’t be bought.

Getting set up for bathroom work

  • Plumbing in a bathroom renovation falls under local plumbing rules; the notes below show what our permit guides say.
  • If you don’t do accessibility work, leave that service off.
  • Photos of your tile work and waterproofing details say more than a list of services.
