Hi all,
We're looking at the costs of adding a bathroom to a property - has anyone had this done recently and could you give me any idea of approximate labour costs?

The scenario is taking half of a bedroom and turning it into an ensuite bathroom + walk in wardrobe......

Any thoughts?

We are having our bathroom totally stripped, re-tiled (floor and walls), Corner bath, sink bidet & loo removed, new shower/bath installed different place, pumped shower, furniture unit built it, underfloor heating added, radiator replaced with heated towel rail, Recessed lights fitted in ceiling, ceiling painted - Total job.

Labour is costing us c. £2750, did have cheaper quotes but liked this guy (who also wasn't the most expensive)

Does depend on size of room, structural stuff, tiling needed etc, but probably min £2k.

We did what you are looking to do and it cost £3k including everything apart from cost of tiles Smile

How will the drainage work? This is what van drive up the cost.
How near is the room in question to the soil pipe and how easy is it to connect up to it and then the drains?

The new bathroom would be right next door to the existing bathroom - just a (non structural) wall between.
I don't know about the soil pipe - but the toilets would be almost right next to each other.
