Hi all, am getting a new bathroom and have no idea how much it costs to get someone in to fit it - anyone have any rough figures to give me some sort of idea ? x

    The bathroom in my house cost just under £2000 which included wall tiles.
    I dont know how reasonable this is as the previous owners had it fitted.
    Have you considered fitting it youself? its pretty easy if your fairly good at DIY.

    We're having a new suite fitted in a couple of weeks. It will cost £1500 to supply and fit bath, toilet, basin and full height tiles on one 6ft wall plus full height tiles the on about 2.5 ft on the other wall.
    The tiles are cheapish ones, and the suite is the armitage shanks standard one with the basic taps.

    Except when they come apart as in "The million pound property experiment" :eek: or the cowboy left the inserts out.
    Back to the OP, a straight swap (no re-locating any of the elements, no swapping which end the taps on the bath are etc.) with no tiling, existing pipework being OK and any other caveats I can think of before I quote for the job :D I say would be in the region of £300-£400 (and that's depending on where you are e.g. not in the Home counties, central London etc.). Problems to watch out for are when you want to do the tiling and being left without a working toilet, both of which can affect the price. (two visits not one)
    This is one of those jobs that you really want to see, check out and discuss with the customer first. Not least to make sure the "shed" you bought the suite from gave you everything you need too!
    A house isn't a home without a cat.
    Those are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others.
    I have writer's block - I can't begin to tell you about it.
    You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.
    It's a recession when your neighbour loses his job; it's a depression when you lose yours.

    A little bit off topic but, I have a broken cistern, it seems old and may be difficult to get parts for, is it possible to just take the cistern (top bit) off, leaving the lower bit in place?

    Are cisterns kind of universal or would i need to be careful that the one I was getting was suitable first, to fir the lower bit?

    Is this a DIY job (thought I might ask my Dad very nicely!) and if so any tips or hazards to watch out for?

    Many thanks and sorry to go slightly off topic.
