Can anyone give me an idea of how much it would cost to refit a bathroom?

[VisitTheInfidelWithExplanatory]

It's very small (240cm x 137cm) and it needs completely gutting and redoing. I'm thinking new suite and fitting including electric shower or pump for mains shower) and tiles and tiling the floor around the bath up to the ceiling and maybe half way up the other walls.
I am totally clueless about this sort of thing so I could really do with a ballpark figure so I don't get taken advantage of!

hopeful bump!

Will the new bathroom fittings be going were the old ones are?

Is it a luxury design bathroom you want or a bog standard?

Thanks for replying :)
Yes, everything in the same place - not luxury.

Dh used to be a bathroom fitter, but fitting luxury bathrooms.

Customers would pay around 4-5k for the materials and around 2k for dhs labour costs. It would take him 10 days to do a bathroom and thats with a guy working with him.

For standard i would say 4k including labour. Maybe 3 and a half k

eek. Expensive! thank you :)

You might be able to find a plumber who will do it fairly cheap but the problem is that if they are cheap, they tend to do an acceptable job, and don't tend to be a perfectionist at their work.

I wonder where you are in the country? I've just had the whole works in my bathroom (tiles, suite, shower etc) and the price got labour was nothing like that. My tradesman did a fantastic job! I sourced the suite/fittings online, which was a huge saving. I also got very expensive tiles at a fraction of the cost by tripling up my tesco club card vouchers at topps tiles. Whole thing in well under 2k

Im in north west. The reason you got it cheap is because you bought things in the sale and did the leg work of sourcing the materials yourself.

Dhs customers got their bathrooms from a showroom.

I'm just outside London, I would get the suite and tiles etc myself if that makes it cheaper - I love a bit of bargain hunting!
Where are you based chestnut?

We recently had our medium sized bathroom done and it came in at around 3.5k. Went for fairly budget fixtures and had some nice tiles but just low around the bath and sink splash back, I believe that tiling is expensive so if you can limit this where possible. Instead of tiles on floor went for colour flooring company sand coloured vinyl, can highly recommend this product. Good luck x

Hygiene you must be joking. It cost us less than £2k for fittings (shower but not bath) tiling and some floorboards replaced. Bathroom about same size as OP's.

£1500 for suite,tiles flooring, the lot and £1500 for labour.

We are in London and most quotes we got were around £3000 just for labour.

We could have done it cheaper but I want a good quality bathroom.

Had the bathroom in our old house done a couple of years ago, new suite and fully tiled. Used the same fitter who had done our kitchen. He dropped round his trade catalogues and let me choose sink, toilet, bath, fixtures, heated towel rail and tiles. He went and bought them at trade prices, i went for a whirlpool bath so a bit of luxury! It took him 3-4 days to rip out old and install and tile. We paid him £2,800.

Ok, well I think I'll expect to pay around £3000 all in then. Might have to put it off for a while!
Thanks everyone :)

I think it is how long is a piece of string. Old house, no children so carried away with design and luxury it cost us about £5k all in to have luxury contemporary double ended free standing bath (can you tell I still miss that bath ??), rainfall type stand alone shower, sit on basin, toilet, floor tiled (DH tiled walls himself). Installation of new radiator / electrics for shower, better pump installed. I think £2k of that was labour, the rest was fittings (but I was on a mission to get the best deals on everything).

Fast forward 10 years. We have just had a quote for removal of peach 1970s bathroom suite (!) and installation of white one in exactly the same place. Basic suite was £200 off the internet (includes taps and waste). Quote from plumber is £400. Tiles will be from wallsandfloors (actually some lovely tiles and cheap) and we'll have to factor some labour in for tiling. If you needed electrics doing on top of that, you'll need to factor that in. I would say you could definitely do it for about £1500 if you shopped around / bargain hunted.

I would say £3000 min.

£2000 labour for 10 days for x2 people is hardly extortionate. That's £500 each a week before tax. So take home around £400 max after tax etc. £400 for x5 days full time work seems low if anything

It is not going to take 10 days to fit your bathroom! You can definitely do it on a reasonable budget

10 days labour seems excessive to me, its a tiny room and there isn't any plumbing being moved. Removing the tiles and replacing them would be time consuming though so I don't know.

Maybe less depending on size room/ what actually needs doing. However I would guess:

1 day ripping out suite and removing tiles
2 days painting and tiling
1 day flooring
1 day installing new suite
1 day finishing off ie trim around floor/ suite, putting light switches etc back, finalising plumbing, sealing anything

Remember if stuff is wet ie floor cement under tiles they can't continue until dry

We recently had our bathroom done. It's quite a big room, we have a separate bath & shower cubicle so the price was probably a bit more than you'll pay for a smaller room.
We bought the suite, shower glass & fittings from Victoria Plumb, altogether it was about £2000, the tiles for floor & walls cost about £700. The fitting took 3 weeks. They had to completely gut the room & rebuild one wall as when they took the plaster off they discovered that the bricks had no mortar between them!
The fitting cost us £4500.
So, long story short, all in it was about £7200.

I'd say you can do it cheaper....If not doing anything fancy and it is a small space with existing plumbing you should be looking at less than £1500, even including tiling and absolutely should not take two people ten days!!

It's worth asking your plumber for recommendations on tilers and you may find that they will do it themselves (mine did, great job). You will save money by removing the existing tiles which is a PITA and needs good gloves and strong sacks/ buckets to get rid of them but essentially unskilled and also by getting the old suite to the tip yourselves (professionals have to pay to dispose, householders usually do not).

The above does not account for disastrous walls though, yikes germgirl! Or anything particularly shiny and exciting in the tap and tiles department, all fairly plain!

You could get it done for almost any price but I can tell you almost all the bathrooms we do are done in 10 working days.
Also size of the room is less relevant to price (to some extent) compared to what you are having fitted.
I would say if you are not DIY you should expect the whole job to cost anything from £5,000 upwards.
And £7k could be reasonable
There is a very rough guide to prices on my site

OP I just saw that you are on tight budget.
Big ways to save money - tiling. Go for an alternative.
Both the cost of the tiles and adhesive and the cost of the tiler are quite expensive.
If there are no electrics to sort out that will save money.

We redid our bathroom in our old house and our new suite was bog standard basic. Cost us less than £300 and it wasn't in the sale. By the time we had done the floor and painting plus a few bits of extra plumbing stuff, we finished spending less than £600. It's not that hard to do yourself.
