The number of homeowners in need of the services of a worker with approved plumbing qualifications could be set to soar following advice from Victorian Plumbing.

According to the firm, which started selling bathrooms in 1999, there are a number of ways people can save money and find the best items when searching online for ways to spruce up their bathrooms.

It explained consumers need to note down the dimensions of the specific space, determine exactly what they want to buy, compare prices of products, read reviews and visit different sites.

In addition, they should spare around an hour for the job, it stated.

The director of the company said: "The bathroom accessories you are buying are very important to you as without them you cannot go on even a single day."

It could be that the advice increases the demand of tradespersons who have successfully completed plumber courses, needed to install and fit the newly-bought items.
