    This thread makes me frustrated. Loads of people saying it's overpriced, but I'm looking for something similar, have had 4 quotes in, ALL at more than £4.5K...

    How do I find these cheap guys!

    Yours, in frustration...

    E.M.

    I'm having my tiny bathroom completely ripped out and replaced - including repairs to squeaky floorboards - at a cost of £4400, in Kent, if that's any help. I trust my plumber, he seems very thorough, says it's likely to be around ten days work.

    Hi

    Is that supply and fit or labour only?

    Supply and fit. He's supplying everything, and has left a contingency that has allowed him to deal with problems arising from my antiquated plumbing, plus the fact that taking the tiles off took all the plaster with them.

    So far so good. My only complaint is the plumber doesn't respect my carpets as much as I'd like him to!

    Good afternoon: Tell him to get out his dust sheets pronto. My OH has a large supply of dust/plastic sheets for every plumbing/heating occasion.;) Price sounds about right for down here. It will all be over soon!

    It’s not a bad price, it also depends on the cost of your bathroom it’s self or is this on top of the £4,850?

    I have just been quoted £500 to take out my existing bath, sink and toilet and replace with a new one which I have brought myself from B and Q for £199. Its a straight swop - everything is going into the same position. I need to get someone else in to do the tiling, but i still recon thats a good price based on what I have read on this thread!!
