Labour cost for bathroom refit

I know it's a "how long is a piece of string" type question, but I wondered if anyone could give a rough estimation of the labour costs for a like for like swap of a bathrom suite (bath, toilet, sink straight swap plus fitting of bathroom furniture for sink) and en suite (shower cubicle, sink toilet).

I'm planning on having both done and want a rough idea so that I might budget as accurately as possible

Thanks

    Site unseen 300 - 500 for the bathroom and 200 - 400 for the ensuite.

    The answer to your first question is "twice the length from the middle to the end" :D

    Why would you want to do the washing up in the bathroom? ;)

    Cheers

    I've just fitted an ensuite including tiling the floor and shower for £660. All materials were paid for by the customer. Took me 4 days.

    Sorry I was being a tad catty. Basins go in bathrooms - sinks go in kitchens. Take no notice! :D

    Is this what passes as plumbers humour? :)

    Seriously, thanks for your help- I'll be sure to get my terminology right next time!
