Is £7000 too much for a small bathroom?

[user1473449791]

I have a really teeny tiny bathroom in dire need of repair, it's very narrow with not much storage. I want to:

Replace bath with a walk in shower unit
Replace loo
Replace sink with vanity counter & cupboard
New porcelain tiles on floor, ceiling and walls
heated towel rail
Extractor fan put in
Mirror cupboard with lights
Spot lights or some type of appropriate bathroom light
Tall cupboard for storage
Some other work needed on the walls and on general state of the place!

I've been quoted £7000. I'd like to reduce it to maybe £5-6000 max. I'm thinking is Porcelain really necessary? Is ceramic that bad? Could I cut costs elsewhere?!

I wouldn't pay that. I always buy top of the range but find them discounted or end of line.

I would not let someone source things myself but I do like finding each item.

I would expect to pay £3 to 5k for a really nice well done bathroom with a good spec. If you shop around, its the equivalents of savings yourself £2-3k.

I spent about £3800 in total for my small bathroom refurb. That included swapping location of shower and bath taps to opposite end, tiling the floor and 50% of walls, ceiling panelling and spotlights, fitting underfloor heating, towel radiator, new skirtings, and shelving.

I used the fitters discount on my suite. He charged me £1500 labour and he supplied the ceiling panelling, lights, thermostat, and skirtings.

Another £150 for plastering the parts that weren't tiled.

We are getting our bathroom refitted. Our labour costs are £5,400 which includes everything apart from fitting a vinyl floor. Walls will be fully tiled. With a shower, no bath, vanity unity, toilet etc will come to £10k. It’s 2.7 x 2 metres. We are in the south east,

3k that’s very reasonable, we paid double that for ours a month ago

£7k sounds about right, the smaller the space the more fiddly and labour intensive the work is. Lots of cutting and fitting tiles around corners etc.
