Rough quote to replace shower cubicle

[Anjelika]

Does anyone know roughly how much it would cost to rip out a shower cubicle? By this I mean remove tiles from 3 sides, replace shower tray with new one, either retile or install panels then replace existing shower and door? So cost to include new tray & labour but customer to provide tray, panels/tiles and use existing door and shower fittings.

We've got to do this to resolve a leak, don't really want to refurbish the whole thing.

In my area like for like should be possible using panels for about 2.5k. I find plumbers seem to some extent to price according to their perception of your ability to pay. So make yourself and your property look as poor as possible ;)

If you put the info you wrote in the op into mybuillder and myjobquote you’ll get trades offering estimates.

Sounds like a lot of work to fix a leak.

Is it one of those raised shower trays that were popular at the turn of the century or one that is flush to the floor ?

If it is raised it should be possible to get underneath by removing the front panel and finding out where the leak is.

A flat one is harder to deal with.

@GasPanic it is a raised one. I paid someone to regrout and seal it all before Xmas and thought this would resolve it but it hasn't. The issues that we now know of are a) there's a hairline crack in the shower tray, hence replacing it b) the shower tray is not adequately supported (meaning when you stand in it, it sinks slightly on one side and creates a gap) c) the lower tiles on one of the walls are "loose" rather than stuck to the wall and d) one of the tiles towards the bottom of the shower is cracked and probs letting water out.

My cheaper solution would be to just replace the tray, taking out a couple of rows of tiles (including the cracked one and the loose ones) and replacing these. Alas the tiles are no longer stocked so would have to replace these rows with plain co-ordinating ones.

@DrySherry I've been quoted that figure but to include a new door. However it excludes the price of the panels.

Following as I have the exact same problem. Had the bathroom refitted a couple of weeks before Covid lockdown and it’s leaked intermittently ever since. Everything just seems “loose”. Plumber now gone bust so have been re-siliconing regularly myself, but it really needs pulling out and redoing.

Sounds like a lot of issues.

Maybe you could get away with just doing one wall on the tiling if the other two are in good shape.

I would have thought the tiling would be the bulk of the cost on that job.

I know pulling the whole thing out should get rid of any leaks once and for all but I've already spent out on getting the shower regrouted and sealed so reluctant to throw well over £2k more at it.
