Bathroon Refit

We have a very small bathroom - i.e. toilet, sink & bath (not quite full length) in close proximity! Have been quoted £8000 for refit - replacing bath with shower cubicle, new loo and sink (nothing fancy), plastering, tiling etc (tiles not included in price). To me this sounds loads but I might be wrong. Am I?

That song nds quite high. We were quoted £6k for a similar job including tiles. What kind of shower is it?

I spent £9k on a small bathroom but that involved a new skylight and reboarding and replastering all the walls, which probably added just over £2k

It depends on what you’re doing in there I suppose, but it does sound expensive. Are you moving pipes around to put different things in different places? We’re building our place and the Italian showers alone for our bathrooms are around 2k each just for the fixtures and shower grilles (so not including tile, pipes, glass, in-wall soap niche, fitting, etc). Showers can get expensive depending on what you’re doing. Vanities also can be shockingly expensive. I’d ask to see a price breakdown so you can see what exactly is running up the bill!

My small bathroom cost £5000 and is nicely done, that included floor and wall tiles.

Outface it will just be a cubicle with a power shower running off the boiler. Nothing fancy. Just wanting to get rid of the redundant bath

Will it maybe require new plumbing? For example if you are moving the location of the drain?

Thanks all. I'll get a price breakdown and then come back. You all sound far more knowledgeable than me :-)
