Get Three Quotes? if you can

I am trying to get quotes to replace my bath and get a walk in shower.
So I am trying to get at least three quotes to compare.
So far I have contacted four companies for quotes and two have not replied and the other two don't want the work.

Not unusual. Last year I wanted a patio laid in the back garden. Contacted three companies, two never bothered to reply, one came and said he would send emailed quote which never arrived.
Where I'm living now, managed to get a local builder to remove a fire surround and hearth. He came from local recommendation but also said he was now fully booked until early December.0 -

It can be difficult to find tradespeople to come out and quote you - we looked up how much it should cost online (there's an 'is this quote fair' forum on here you could use for complex work) and went with the only guy who would actually be available who thankfully quoted roughly what our research said. I think lots of people are only just comfortable having people working in their homes again, so everyone is fully booked.0
