new bathroom......

has anyone any idea how much we should expect to spend on a new bathroom and separate toilet?

We'd just was a basic replacement bath, sink and toilet (all in the same place the exsisting stuff is)

We'd then just want the walls completely tiled but nothing flash

TIA

You can pick up a suite in B and Q for under £300 for the lot in one of the basic ranges.

If you are replacing taps too, then I personally would look for them on line or on screwfix - I have always found stores like B+Q, Homebase very expensive for taps.

Tiling will be the most costly option for wall covering. Labour will be the most expensive part of this, can be up to £200 a day for a Tiler. Could you not just tile the wet areas, such as around the bath and behind the sink and then paint the rest?

thanks nurse - i wanted tiling as it's easiest to clean, with dc who attract dirt like magnets and a mechanic dh i thought tiling would be the best bet

£300 ???? - i'l start looking - any idea how much roughly fitting would be?

You can get relatively cheap bathrooms from Victoria Plumb.The bathrooms are reasonable but the fitting instructions are a bit variable.I paid 550 pounds for fitting of my downstairs bathroom [which was like for like].I paid arround 900 pounds for a rejigging arround.These were special prices via a builder![the original quote was 1750 from the same plumber via the rejigging]Tiling estimate at 120 pounds daily.It is also worth trying Wickes as i believe the bathrooms are reasonable quality.These prices would probably also be much higher in southern parts!.
