Hi
Looking for inspiration
Hoping to re-do bathroom in a year or so and making plans. I would love the metro tile look and bath with wooden panelling. Would need walk in shower and sink unit.

Going for image below and second is current bathroom.

Any ideas on cost please roughly for those who have done similar.

Completely depends on lots of factors (where you are in the Uk etc), but the Labour is the main cost.

In London for a small bathroom (shower over bath not separate) we paid £4500 labour including electrician and the fittings/tiles etc came to around £1500, so £6000 total.

My tip would be not to go too cheap on the fittings etc. We realised that once you’re buying a shower screen or similar it’s not that much more to get a much nicer one. Taps seem to be very pricey tho!

Recommend Mandarin Stone for interesting tiles eg for floor, our metro tiles are from Topps.

In SE. Have done two bathrooms of different sizes (I’d say one medium and one large) in last couple of years but both cost about £5k; £2.5k for labour and £2.5k for fittings. Both bathrooms had separate showers and baths, vanity unit sinks and toilet (obviously). Tiled half way up wall and floor.

@Nightmanagerfan and @Babs709

Thanks
Did you source all resources yourself then hired someone to fit.

Yes we bought everything ourselves from Victorian Plumbing and Bathstore and the company did the fitting. I think they provided adhesive.
