We have just had a quote back. Local plumber. Like for like replacement of family bathroom with shower over, en suite with a shower cubicle and downstairs cloakroom.
Including the tiling, the quotes were bathroom £12k, en-suite 8k and cloaks at £4K. Is it just me or is that a lot?
Would love to know how much anyone else has paid. We are in the south midlands ish.
Thanks

We've just had our small bathroom done, new suite and tiles. Came to almost £5k Sad

I've just had a quote for £6000 to redo a tiny family bathroom, I'm near Bristol. Getting another quote tomorrow

Pomegranateseeds · 03/02/2020 21:39

We paid about £3000 for a cloakroom (all fittings, tiles and labour) and about 6,000 for a small family bathroom (as above). Just the labour bits of them were £2000 and £4000 respectively.

We had our tiny family bathroom done last year - we went for the absolute basics, leaving the builder to pick out a suite for us - £4000, including plastering and minimal amounts of tiling. It looks great though. I painted the rest of it myself. We do live in a cheap area of the country.

My bathroom was quoted as 9-13k but we are getting underfloor heating New plumbing, Japanese toilet , shower, stand-alone bath etc the whole works

I think by the time we finish it will be more like 20k Sad

HasaDigaEebowai · 03/02/2020 21:56

I'm in the middle of doing our en suite (which is 3.5m x 3m so a decent sized bathroom). Labour is £7500 and the tiles, fittings, lights, mirrors, towels rails etc all come to another £7500ish.

AutumnGlitterBall · 03/02/2020 21:56

Bloody hell, I just paid £2100 for a new bathroom! Suite, end panels, glass shower door, electric shower and two walls of tiles (about 6m2) and floor tiles (4m2). It’s a rental flat so I didn’t choose top notch items but they weren’t the cheapest either as I want them to last.

Namechangerejsjs1239 · 03/02/2020 21:56

We did our en-suite for £1k, we bought everything and ripped out old one, Painted and tiled ourselves.
We paid for a plumber to do the plumbing and to fit the shower unit.
Only way to keep it cheap as the quotes were around 5/6k Mark!

WingingIt101 · 03/02/2020 21:57

Oh wow!! This won’t be much help but we did the labour ourselves. Took longer and may have started a few arguments but ultimately it meant we got a new suite in with tiling and flooring for £1500. I do think that labour sounds a lot though - are those quotes including the suites and tiles etc because it will then very much depend on what you choose. Ours is by no means a cheapy looking bathroom suite so I’m struggling to see how they’ve reached the figures they’ve given you. We are also south mids and quotes from tradespeople for other jobs such as kitchen fit labouring tend to have been around the £100-200 per day mark depending on complexity of the jobs

Namechangerejsjs1239 · 03/02/2020 21:57

@AutumnGlitterBall have you had it fitted yet?
It’s labour that costs the earth!

HasaDigaEebowai · 03/02/2020 21:58

Im also in the midands

MaderiaCycle · 03/02/2020 21:59

Where are you @AutumnGlitterBall?!?

BanSprouts · 03/02/2020 22:01

We just had a new bathroom. I stripped out the old bathroom myself and we had a new bath, shower, toilet, sink, towel radiator, tiles and flooring put in. We provided everything ourselves and paid the plumber £620 to fit it all.

99problemsandthecatis1 · 03/02/2020 22:02

We got 2 quotes. £3k for fitting and £6k for fitting. We went with £6k guy. My friend went with £3k guy. Ours looks like it was double the price- she agrees. But ours is our main bathroom and there's in a guest ensuit. The total cost of our bathroom was £14k the rest was made up of fittings, fixtures, tiles, electrical and smart tech.

It depends what you want.

Christmadtree · 03/02/2020 22:02

Getting our main bathroom done tomorrow. 3.5k all in, but that's ripping out the bath to fit a walk in shower and we went with tile effect wetwall in the end as it brought the cost down significantly. 4 quotes and all came in at the same prices for the options give or take £200.

AutumnGlitterBall · 03/02/2020 22:03

Yes, it’s finished. The suite was about 450, door 100, shower 100, tiles 200 and taps and whatnot another 100 or so. So the labour was about 1200. He’s a one man band which did mean I ended up taking stuff to the tip myself to clear up but I can’t complain about the price.

Cost of new bathroom.
AutumnGlitterBall · 03/02/2020 22:04

I’m in Scotland. The flat is just outside Glasgow.

Namechangerejsjs1239 · 03/02/2020 22:05

@AutumnGlitterBall that’s excellent value for money!!

SecretMillionaire · 03/02/2020 22:05

Our en-suite is currently being refitted and is costing £2,400 for the new shower screen, toilet unit and cistern, double door basin cabinet, one tall and one small cabinet. Labour £1,300 and tiles £500.

Family bathroom was done last year for £9,200.

MadisonAvenue · 03/02/2020 22:08

Not a full bathroom refit but we paid £2200 to have the bath removed and replaced with a walk in shower last Summer. It was a very straightforward job which took two days with no fancy fittings and aquaboard as an alternative to paying more to have shower area tiled.
We're in the Midlands.

GreenTulips · 03/02/2020 22:08

Try a builder rather than a plumber.

Cheaper and they call in the plumber to check the fixings.

Soontobe60 · 03/02/2020 22:09

We had a total revamp of our small bathroom.
Bath replaced with a shower cubicle, recessed shower fitted, wall moved back, all tiling removed and walls replastered, new lights and extractor, toilet moved, panelling on bottom half of walls, new radiator. Cost was about £5k plusntiles which we bought ourselves. It took 3 days to complete but was part of a big renovation which took 3 weeks.

thickwoollytights · 03/02/2020 22:09

Ensuite all in £3000.

MaderiaCycle · 03/02/2020 22:10

@AutumnGlitterBall we are not far from you! Would you DM me the guys details? Cheapest quote we have had for what is essentially a cupboard with a shower in ££6.5k

Soontobe60 · 03/02/2020 22:11

A builder did ours with his electrician and plumber doing those bits.
