Cost to refurb downstairs WC

[smashingsquash]

We're looking at getting our downstairs cloakroom refurbed, pretty standard, not moving location of anything, - new toilet, basin, retile walls, new flooring. We've been quoted nearly £3500 for the work alone with us to still supply all the bits, tiles and new loo, taps etc. To me this seems ridiculously high? Or am I being unreasonable? We're in outer London. Thanks

That does seem a lot. Ask the person that quoted how many days it might take. So, say at £200 per day it would take more than 17 working days. Seems like a lot for labour.

He said roughly 2 weeks but that was to allow plaster/grout to dry so wouldn't be working constantly all that time. The room is approx 1.5m2, I wondered if he wasn't that interested in a small job so quoted high.

That is very high, we got a quote last week to do the same as you along with replastering the hallway, putting in new bannisters and decorating, and also hanging new doors throughout house for that price, I'd look elsewhere!

That seems very high. We are in London and paid 2.5k for labour for a bathroom refurb (tiling the whole thing and installing new sink/ toilet/ bath)

I thinks ours was £3.6k (1.4mx2.2m as yours plus bath and radiator and repainting walls), our other quote was £2k higher again. We supplied everything pretty much. Outer London.

I would get another quote or two and see how it compares.

I am in lancs and it cost me 1k to have one put in for the first time, including light and extractor fan but no radiator. Took 2 days, well, 1.5

Ours took 2 men 6 days. It was almost all tiled with very high ceiling height and included removing rubbish and all old stuff out.

Thanks everyone, will ask around for recommendations and get more quotes in.
