Just a small one, approx 1.7m x 2.1m, bath, toilet and sink in same place as old ones but with new cabinets etc and an electric shower to be added. Also need floor and walls tiled.

Any thoughts?

without tiling you should pay no more than 700 from a plumber on the side

1500 would be the cheapest imo.

Installing a shower can vary on price a lot.

We've been having ours done. :(

Whatever happens get a quote, DO NOT pay anyone on a 'Day rate'.
The people who did it were general builders, and as such not capable not adept enough to put the travertine tiles we (had to :( ) have. It's not finished still, and what with new bath, shower (not working), plastering (walls and ceiling), sink, electrics and plumbing - with its varying and increasing cost -, the Tiles, underfloor heating, all in a room about the same size as yours, we're in the area of £3k so far.

to install a new bathroom - between 2,000 and 3,000, probably nearer £2k than 3.

Kingfisher.
We've had the Renderers from hell, replaced by a merely nightmarish one, the Electicians from hell, the Kitchen fitter from hell, and the roofer who lied.
Maybe it's the area, but only a couple of people who've done anything here are not pals of the devil.

FOr the installation and tiling, inc first fixing/ alterations, we just charged £1500 and thats quite reasonable. The whole room, roughly same size as yours, was tiled, inc floor.

DOes not inc price of tiles or the suite.

My sis in law paid £300 for the fitting and £300 for the tiling recently, she had to buy all the equipment. Both were done in a day.
By:

I don't think there was any shifting around of her room so all pipes etc were in place. The tiling sounds a lot better value than the fitting.

No McNabb, its not a big bathroom (nor is it cramped) but I wouldn't have a clue about how many sqm where involved.

Book into Travel Lodge once a week for a shower.
Doing this will save you thousands.

I work for a builders merchant. Get the suite yourself as nearly half the builders you'll get will try to make money off you there as well

£3000 LOL!
must be gold taps with all the free muny on betfair.
suppose you could spend anything u wanted.
however for a basic revamp.
£300 for suite
£200 for tiles and grout.
£100 for electric shower.
about £250 for labour.

£850 is my random quote
By:

When: 17 Jan 10 17:27
For £850 I would expect it to look like crap and be installed shoddily. As far as I can see I'll be looking at over a grand just for the suite plus cabinets etc.

We did this 2 years ago, fitting just under £1000 for an electric shower plus sub fuse box, new bath, toilet, basin in a small bathroom

that £1k obv doesn't cover cost of toilet, shower etc!
