My role as a bathroom installation apprentice involves assisting with the full process of bathroom installations from start to finish. On a day-to-day basis, I work alongside my installer carrying out tasks such as ripping out existing bathrooms, preparing surfaces, installing pipework, fitting sanitaryware, and assisting with tiling and finishing.
