Recently renovated your London bathroom?

[chiffontalks]

Please let me know how much it costs. I'm trying to gauge an average cost for a small London bathroom.

One builder has ghosted me without quotation given and another charging approx £19k.

I'm getting rid of old bathtub, toilet and vanity unit and replacing them with new shower, screen, toilet and vanity unit. Ditto wall tiles/ floor tiles.

My daughter has & it cost her 12k. She was trying to do it on the cheap & only has a small bathroom but London prices 🤷🏼‍♀️

19k sounds insane! Are they quoting for solid gold taps?! I'm south Hertfordshire so not a million miles away and recently paid about £8.5k

• complete rip out of old bathroom
• new pipe work for shower bath (changing ends of shower and location of the controls)
• built cupboard to house washer/dryer
• new everything (bath, shower, sink, taps, loo etc)
• tiling floors and walls

Hope that helps

Mine was 16k last year for absolutely bloody everything needed doing - not even a big room (2m x 2m) but alot of water damage so walls and floor stripped down to joists to reboard, tank etc. Took bloody ages too.

Paid £14k for a 2x2m bathroom in a flat about three years ago in SE London,

£13k. About 50% materials and 50% labour. We did go for a really nice bath and shower though.

We went with Bell’s in East Dulwich, if you want a recommendation. Used their fitters.

Tell me about it! And that's before VAT charges

They have quoted higher end Burlington items which is out of our budget. I told them so.
But I suspect even if we go with lower end options, our cost will not drop below £16k.

Thank you, I will look them up!

3.5k without the suite and tiles. So that was the rip and fit cost plus basic materials. SE London around 3 years ago. He was relatively young and cheapest quote but did a decent job.

Our labour would be 4.5k and materials 3.5k, SE London. Starting soon, hope it stays at budget. Replacing all fittings (shower, bath, toilet, vanity sink), tiled floor and walls. Not a complicated job, all electrics and rads are there and half already decorated and plastered, what's not is going to be tiled. 🤞🏻 We stay on budget

Well non-London but we re-did our ensuite last summer. Completely gutted it, new everything, fully tiled walls and floor, drawer unit under whb, wall-mounted cupboard, LED de-misting mirror - £12k. Lights under whb unit, LED spots, wall-mounted loo, white oak ceiling, new radiator.

Our fitter was not on the cheap end of things but he was amazing at project managing, so well worth it. £19k sounds like taking the piss.

Not sure why I was quoted? 😉

I forgot to mention our bathroom is 2*2.50, so not tiny but small.

Because you were the last one to post?

Hi, would you mind sharing the company's name?

I'm happy to recommend/share once their job is complete and I see that their work is good to recommend? It's due to complete in 4-5 weeks (they're doing another bathroom for us)

@Lemonbalm8 Thanks, yes of course. Good luck, hope it all goes well☺️

I supplied all material (£3000 approx)

and then the fit was about 20k including VAT. However that included

• scaffolding for moving external pipework
• repointing
• new bathroom plumbing
• new bathroom electrics
• plastering full room
• tiling

in SE London and this wasn’t top quality!
