Hi (1st post so please be gentle!)
We are currently purchasing a smallish apartment in Frigiliana and looking for recommendations for replacing the current bathroom. This is the most urgent job needed and we will almost certainly be requiring a new kitchen before long (with some minor internal building alterations).
Our Spanish is not great yet so English speaking would be a big help.
Many thanks
Michael & Rosie
Recommendation for bathroom supply/fit
Re: Recommendation for bathroom supply/fit
Hi, Welcome to the forum. There are plenty of English tradesmen in your area. Also Torrox has lots of English speaking German tradesmen. A word of warning, get more than 1 quote and do not pay a lump up front. It is normally the brits who rip off the brits.

This!
Our own, albeit brief experience so far with painter/decorators, plumbers and electricians has been that the Spanish have been far more professional, usually cheaper and (touch wood) not rip off merchants. Not saying English/German trades are all like that but thus far....
I would add that dealing with Spanish tradesman has also rapidly increased our knowledge of the language. Between our poor Spanish and their poor English we've got some good results and had a lot of fun along the way.
This forum is a great resource too.

We used a great Spanish father and son team for our refurb recently. They did a fantastic job, so much so I missed them when they finished. A great professional job with lots of laughs along the way. The son spoke pretty good English.
