Fired earth bathroom - cost?

3 replies

I love a bath/sink/loo combo from fired earth. I probably wouldn't get everything from there as it's a bit pricey... but can anyone who has had a fired earth bathroom in full/part give me some idea of cost incl. fitting?
Thanks!

Shameless bump!

We're redoing our bathroom, we got some more basic tiles from Fired Earth but the sink, taps etc were astonishingly expensive. Some of the Fired Earth baths are pretty unique, but If you are hankering after the Victorian look stuff generally, then Burlington and St James do similar, good quality stuff for about half the price ( and they are still pretty expensive). we went for Burlington sanitarywear and cheaper taps, which is the opposite of what all the home decor mags tell you to do, but I think the really cheap versions of the traditionally styled stuff look a bit weird.

also, Topps Tiles do a V&A range which is a blatant rip off of some of the Fired Earth stuff for about 20 per cent less.

Hope that helps!

Oh, sorry, actual costs. I don't know if they do fitting, but I expect you'd be talking about at least £3,500 for the sanitarywear, taps, and presumably a shower, then somewhere between £1 and £2,000 for wall and floor tiles (possibly even more), and then they do say to double the cost of fittings to get a rough idea for labour, so you'd be looking at at least £10,000 for a relatively straightforward job, more if you have dodgy pipework that needs fixing, want to move things a little, replace the radiator or whatever. then there's lighting...

On the other hand, I found out after we'd spent ages agonising over things that they do a interior design service for about £300 which is refundable if you spend over a ceetain amount. so you could get them to help you get the basic look, and then see what you can substitute more cheaply.
