Who to ask for some renovations?

I'm a first-time buyer and a bit confused who I should get to do what to modernise our bathroom, also what we should pay. I'd like a bath moved which will mean a plumber moving it, plumbing in and boxing it in and possibly moving and plumbing in the sink elsewhere in the room. I've been given an estimate of £700.00 (incl VAT) for that by a CORGI plumber but is that reasonable?
Also, plumber says he can fit extractor fan and a thermostatic shower; not sure if I wouldn't be better off getting an NICEIC electrician for that, though, as I'd have thought I'd need them for Part P? Plumber not on NICEIC register.
Finally, we can't find a tiler anywhere in Coventry to do a bit of bathroom tiling; someone who works with the plumber will I think do it but maybe that means we'd pay a premium as plumber would basically be subcontracting. Any ideas welcome. Thanks in advance for help!

I think £700 for moving bath and sink is too much, I know a plumber that will replace both and a toliet for £300, a bit more for moving pipes but not £400 more!!! but he's in the south-east. You might be better off getting a plumber who isn't corgi reg as corgi is only required for gas and corgi plumbers charge more.

As for the shower you will need a plumber with part p or get a plumber and an electrician. 2nd option will be more expensive.
