Fitting a new bathroom - fair prices

duncan32

Hello,

Firstly, sorry but I'm sure this has been asked before. I've had a look through a few pages and can't find a similar thread though.

I am going to buy a new bathroom suite from MFI shortly. £400.00, but looks ok to me. Steel bath rather than usual plastic you get.

Anyway, I am going to get three plumbers to quote on fitting. It would be handy to have a ball-park figure in my head before anyone comes to quote me.

Anyone have any ideas? Its basically to take out the existing bath, sink and toilet and put the new ones in. Sounds simple to me!!?!

Thanks in advance.

in my area(leicestershire), providing its a straight swap(like for like and no or minor pipework alterations etc) i usally charge £350.00 which includes fittings(as required) and bath and basin traps and new pan connector

these prices are approx to my local area, and depends on how grumpy the customer is/cups of tea recieved.... :rotfl:

I live in Cornwall and quote anything from £300 plus materials up.

When you get a quote, get the guy to put in writing exactly what he will do for the quote. For example, will he repair tiled areas disturbed by removal of the suite?

Some may even quote you £200, but ask youself, what quality of job are you getting for your money?

Both of those prices sound very reasonable indeed.

We have been quoted almost £3k by one bathroom supplier - including about £100 worth of flooring materials - but that did include doing (but not supplying) the tiling.

Another fitter has quoted us around £1,250 for fitting and tiling which is somewhat more reasonable to my ears.

£400 sounds very reasonable for a suite with a steel bath.
