Working with Bathroom Pros reprinted courtesy of ServiceMagic

These professionals are going to have to be in your bathroom to do the work you need. They are not implicitly aware of your bathroom needs throughout the day, and if they have the water turned off or are working in your only bathroom, you need to accept the small bit of embarrassment that may occur when you have to go.

What goes on in bathroom are private matters, and bathrooms have doors because we like to have our privacy when we use the facilities. Some people find it very intrusive for people to be in their bathrooms, which is the reason that guest bathrooms were invented. Try to relax and if you are seriously bothered, and consider moving out any items that you fear the contractors will see.

Bathroom Contractor Etiquette
There are no laws that say you have to let any professional use your facilities, but with Bathroom Contractors, they will already be in your bathroom so it may be hard to tell or to keep them from it. However, it is common etiquette that if someone is working in your home, that you allow them to use your bathroom. Offering this up—even though it is most likely a given with these particular pros—could mean a great deal to someone who has been asked to go down to the local convenience store before by other clients.

You do not have to offer a beverage to a bathroom contractor, or towels, rags, trash bags, tools or anything. You hired them on the premise that they had everything they needed. But this is a really bad stance to take. These are people who are working hard, working hard for you, and offering anyone who's thirsty a glass of water is not that difficult. Plus it just might be what convinces them to lower the price on something, finish their job quicker than usual, or make any changes that you want without complaint. Being easy to get along with, receptive, and respectful is never a bad idea.
