Roughly how much is a new bathroom?

[suzanneme]

Does anyone know how much (vaguely) a new bathroom costs? I know it's a bit variable based on what you fittings you choose, but we have a smallish bathroom (bath, sink, loo, shower over bath and not room for much else in there) and would like to get a new one from somewhere like B&Q or Homebase (not Dolphin, whose prices are insane!!). Would love any info to help decide if we have sufficient £!

the materials cost about the same as the labour - ours was about £5K

We did ours ourselves to sell the house - we got bathroom from B&Q on speical offer - £199 for bath, sink and cant remember if the toilet was thrown in. We tiled the whole bathroom for £50 (big tiles)

we did ours a year ago and the bathroom suite inc a showerbath cost £499 and the th labour was about £2.5K but we had a wall knocked down and the toilet and sink switched around.

5k I'm budgeting about £1,000 for mine, it's quite small. Only planning to spend about £600 on the suite (was £600 in the sale, and they are always having sales) a few hundred on tiles, and a few more hundred fitting it. So, just over £1,000 but that's with a double ended bath etc. MIL bought at £200 suite, spend £75 on tiles and it was fitted by a relative - so you can spend whatever really xXx

Depends on what you need doing - full tiling and moving plumbing push the cost up. We had an ensuite shoewer room and main bathroom for about 7k a few years ago - including removal of and re-doing fully tiled walls and installation of loo plumbing in ensuite.

ours is being finished off today (HURRAH!!!!!) and will have cost £5K in total - £3K labour (in cash, worked out at £150 each per day for 2 people) and £2K everything else. It's also a small bathroom - ca. 2x3m, but I have gone for slightlier pricier stuff like a wall-hung toilet, bigger bath, concealed shower/bath filler thermostat combo etc.

Hmm. This tiling lark, can any fool do tiling or will I regret having a go myself? My tiles are awful and the bathroom would be fine without them but I can't afford to get someone in. Should I have a bash?

for that 5K we had new shower unit, showerbath, cuirved glass screen, heated towel radiator ( moved to other side of bathroom), new loo - moved, new basin, new posh taps ( they ain't cheap) and new lit mirror and loads of posh tiles with mosaic inserts

it does depend on the amount of work involved - ours had the entire ceiling replastered, tiles removed, stud walls put in, floor boarded etc.

on a par with geekgirl

Thanks ladies. We are far too ineffectual to do the work ourselves so are looking to get the tiling, plumbing etc. done with it. I was hoping it'd be abour 5k or so as that would be fine. Yay! At last we can rid ourselves of the foul peach suite!

and a new Kardean floor

oh and we got a heated towel rail for £30

KBear, I think you can do it yourself - dh has tiled most of our downstairs floors. Make sure you read up on it though and get very large tiles, small ones really show up any tiling faults.

I got my shower / bath filler thingy and the basin tap from plumbword.co.uk - they were really good and have some top offers on - the shower stuff was half price, from £500 down to £250.
