New bathroom £9000?

[Nicho59]

Just had a quote for a new bathroom installation. The £9k is inclusive of suite incl separate shower flooring and redecoration. About £4k of that is fitting costs and it will take 2 weeks. Any thoughts fols?

We just paid 10k they finished last week, about 4k more than a basic one but it looks amazing. Full refurb of a 1980's tasteful sea blue bathroom with brown trimmings to an ultra modern walk in shower with posh tiles, nice lighting and a super dooper digital shower thing. Also upgraded the hot water tank to twice the size and unvented for power.

Worth every penny, even the installer was impressed.

My new bathroom getting fitted in 2 weeks is about 6500 complete rip out and start again.

Ours was £4.5k including fitting 2 years ago but we sourced the 4 piece suite, tiles etc ourselves online/B&Q rather than a catalogue provided by the bathroom fitter.

The tilers round here chare £85 per square metre so depends how much tiling you have perhaps consider less?

Yeah we did floor to ceiling tiling everywhere with lots of odd corners so loads of off cuts. Even had to emergency order more tiles due to the odd bits. Looks bloody good though.

Tomorrow I will do a poo in there for the first time. No one has gotten to christen it before me :D

Sounds about right to me

I need to retrain as a tradesperson!

We paid around 6k all in 2010, we moved the bathroom....well not moved it out put it in the box room as it had originally been downstairs at the back and we were doing a lof ex which replaced the need for box room.

Anyway I digress, was the mid range quote for fitting but we had high spec materials/fittings (travertine tiles, kohler bath and taps).

I think for SE at this moment that sounds about right but hard to know without knowing what fittings you've chosen, if you need to bring it down that's where you can save.

I wish ours had just been 6k

Wouldn't surprise me. We had a new bathroom in a 3 bed semi in 2007, and that cost £5,000.

Sorry 9k!

Sounds about right to me. We had a family bathroom, no bath, but big shower and also an en-suite replaced 1 and 11/2 years ago. Both cost £8k each.
