new bathroom costs

Has anyone had a bathroom fitted recently. I'm getting quotes at the moment. I have a tiny bathroom which is a mess. I need the current fittings ripped out (including shower cubicle) and a new suite fitted (minus shower cubicle) just want a few tiles round the bath. There is a bit of plastering involved where old tiles will be removed. I've had 2 quotes of between 3 and 4 thousand pounds!! That is not including the cost of the suite. Surely this is too stee?

Wow that sounds like a lot! We just had ours done and the labour costs (including some of the building materials) were 2300 pounds but we had a wall removed, both basin and bath moved to a new position, tiling from floor to ceiling, ceiling skimmed, doorframe moved and removal and fitting of a new bathroom suite and taps. We supplied the bathroom suite, taps, tiles and towel rad. I would get another quote.

Thanks for the replies. Its a while since I had any work done but it seems my gut instinct was right. Back to the quotes then. I appreciate your help people x

£2600 to supply and fit smallish bathroom, tiling, shower bath, gravity fed shower, sink and loo, but not flooring. That was a local independent.

We paid £2,000 just for the plumbing work - removal of old suite and installation of new bath (in different place), toilet and sink (in same place) and installation of stand alone shower (completely new).

I had Dolphin round but they were interested in designing "Dream Bathrooms" for at least £10,000. He left in a huff.

Just had a couple of quotes around £800 to remove old suite, install new shower tray & screen, electric shower, change position of loo & basin and change position of radiator. We are supplying all fittings and DH doing the tiling. DH was going to do it all but as we only have one loo time is of the essence!
