Bathroom tiling - is this right?

Options
I had a couple of quotes on tiling (both wall and floor) my bathroom. The approx size of the bathroom is 28sqm.

Tiles provide by me.

The work split up is given below
1. Remove the tiles around the bath and vanity unit and shower cubicle
2. Wall tiling and Floor tiling
3. Replace the radiator with Towel rail

Cost split up below
Tiling adhesives and grout: £225
Extras (ply-board, whale bag etc) = £150
Plumbing = £200
Labour (removing tiles around bath, vanity unit and shower cubicle, removing the toilet,tiling the wall and floor, re-fitting the shower door) = £1075
Total = £1938 inc VAT

Does it look alright?...Should I ask anything else?..
FYI Picked this tiler from checkatrade.com..

thanks

    Looks expensive for me especially "Tiling adhesives and grout: £225" and I'm not sure you have £200 worth of plumbing in your details

    Get a couple more quotes, can you not take the old tiles off yourself to save labour?

    depends if the walls are too bad for tiling

    there may be straightening of walls included in the quote which may add extra adhesives/ wedi board etc

    I just bought 9 bags of flexible stone adhesive to do my 25sqm bathroom and it cost me £150! Adhesive is not cheap.
