Bathroom fitters in Bristol: Renters vs homeowners

Who’s responsible depends on where you live and your living situation.

For homeowners

You’re responsible for hiring and paying the tradesperson. If you’re making structural changes or need planning permission, check with Bristol City Council first. Some jobs (like moving pipework) may need building regs sign-off.

For renters

Your landlord is usually responsible for bathroom repairs or replacements - especially if something breaks or becomes unsafe.

Need changes for accessibility or comfort? You’ll need to get permission in writing. Your bathroom fitter may also need sign-off from the landlord before starting.

Top tip: Some renters use Checkatrade to gather quotes, then pass them to their landlord for approval.
