Option 1
Your Own Fitter
Already have a builder or fitter you trust? This option works around them. Bowmans handles the design and sources every product at trade prices, and your fitter receives our drawings and product data so they understand the scheme and can build it accurately.
Your fitter has clear plans and product information to work from, and your designer is on hand for any product question. The collaboration suits homeowners who already have a reliable tradesperson lined up.
“Bowman supplied everything for my bathroom but I used my own builder to install it. This is a follow-up a year later when I needed a new part for my shower. They were so helpful. The part arrived just a few days later, no problem at all. I have to say their customer care is second to none.”

Option 2
Approved Fitter Network
For homeowners who want professional installation without managing the project themselves. Every fitter in the Bowmans Approved Network is independently vetted and meets strict criteria before being approved. The network works across mid and south Essex, including Colchester and Chelmsford.
£5M Public Liability Insurance
Every approved fitter carries a minimum £5 million public liability policy, verified annually.
DBS-Checked Individuals
Background checks on all fitters who enter your home, for added peace of mind.
Inspected Workmanship
Recent projects reviewed and past work inspected before a fitter is admitted to the network.
Rigorous Approval Process
Every fitter must pass a thorough vetting process including portfolio review, references, and on-site inspection before being admitted to the approved network.
“Couldn’t be happier with our new bathroom. Jonny came out and we discussed what work I wanted. The installer he also recommended was great. I didn’t feel pressured into anything and got exactly what I wanted at a very good price too.”

“From our first meeting with Jonny, who took on board all of our wishes and worked them into our available space, ensuring we had the best of everything. To Nazar and his team, who treated our home with respect and kept the inevitable mess and disruption down to a minimum, whilst performing the most wonderful job on our bathroom. To Jamie, who patiently answered all of our queries and kept us informed of every step — we cannot fault Bowmans. If you are looking to have a new bathroom and are in a position to be lucky enough to spoil yourselves, then we have no hesitation in recommending Bowman Bathrooms. Start to finish brilliant.”
