New bathroom, how much?

[UptheAnty]

I know... How long is a piece of string?

But PLEASE help me to make sense of the hell that is house renovation

What did you get and how much did you pay?

...and are you happy?

What would you do different if anything?

My mum is a bargain hunter. She paid £1500 for all the bathroom stuff (tiles, bath, cabinet for the sink, and the toilet is built in too) most stuff came from B&Q. She paid £1000 to a fitter (who did an awful job), who eventually gave her back £500. She paid £500 to a new fitter, who patched it up, and now it looks fantastic.

A lot of it is in the fitting. A cheap bathroom well fitted looks good. An expensive bathroom poor fitted looks bad.

You need to read this thread - I made copious notes from it when doing our bathroom renos.

Can't remember final cost of ours - between 5 and 10K?

Thanks user, does your mum project manage

Great link *ech, I've already read it can't sleep head is overflowing with plumbing

I don't know about anyone else but I'm terrified of buyers remorse. I just organised a gardener to clean up our property and have fretted over the possibility that I've overpaid.

Plumber starting tomorrow I hope ! £3700 for all good quality products including a beautiful Matki shower ! Plumber will charge £2500 2 weeks work to gut ,skim,and install.
Tiles and tiler on top.Its expensive but we went to trade plumbers and got great prices ..hope this gives you an idea !

Ours was about 10K but there was building work sorting out floor and there is a separate large shower. Also slate tiles on the floor.

I got a quote this evening from a local independent shop for just under £7000.
It sounds like it's comparable ?
This includes extending out into cupboards- tiling, plaster boarding and electrician. We'll be having all new, 2 towel radiates, bath, large sink, vanity unit, toilet and large corner shower.
I'm in the south east.

Thanks everyone for your replies, it does help to get some perspective.
