Wickes or alternatives for bathrooms?

[EastEndQueen]

We have recently moved and have 3 x very dated and run-down bathrooms which need total replacement (including retiling, plastering, new floors etc)

I’m looking for a company which will do EVERYTHING (DH and I work fulltime demanding jobs and have two very young children and i do not have the capacity or headspace to track down multiple products, employ and co-ordinate different tradespeople etc)

Wickes is an obvious option and my sister had a very good experience recently using their kitchen design service. But I am very keen to hear of other alternatives I should consider - we are East London/ Redbridge location if that’s helpful at all.

We have a reasonable budget but the house has loads and loads to do so don’t want to get into very high end firms a significant price point above Wickes

Thank you in advance!

MKM offer free designs and usually have recommended tradesman they can put you in contact with. Prices vary but they do offer a range of bathrooms with showrooms on site so you can actually see and feel the quality which you don't get if you buy online. We got our kitchen from MKM and had a good experience and will most likely get our bathroom from them too. They are open Saturday mornings which makes it easier if you are working full time during the week and don't seem to have pushy sales staff (something I really don't like!). I hope this helps.

You can go to independent bathroom showrooms and talk to them about ballpark figures for a bathroom eg estimate of size and whether you're moving the plumbing around as that adds to the cost. Lots of cupboards etc also adds to the cost but if you're just replacing sanitaryware in the same positions and tiling then that won't be as expensive.
