How much to fit a small bathroom?

How much to fit a small bathroom and retile (knock off old tiles 3/4 way up) and take away the old suite. (not supply suite or tiles) and standard straight swap although may have vanity unit put in for sink and toilet (1100mm).

Just wondered if there were any plumbers who would know??

    More info is needed I think.

    How much of the walls are being retiled and what is the toral area of walls beinmg retiled? Is the floor being tiled? What are the walls currently? Are they solid or plasterboard? If they are plasterboard, it is likely that the tiles will pull off much of the plasterboard so you need to allow for replacement of some plasterboarding.

    If you can give us some more info, it will be easier to assist.

    Hi, thanks for this. The tiling now is 3/4 way up but want to tile all the way. The walls are brick and plaster (not plasterboard) and they are artexed at the top at the moment which needs to be sanded down. Maybe we will need to plaster when the tiles come off but the floor we will do afterwards so its just to retile over bath wall and then a whole wall of approx 1650mm (don't know what this is in square metres and then over the door too and a small area around the window as vanity unit will take up much of that area and cover pipes. We want the big tiles replacing. I just wondered if anyone had rough idea on this???

    These vanity units have sink and WC with them so its just a matter of fitting them and also fitting bath and taking away old bath etc....

    I know this is a stab in the dark but just have no idea what to expect price wise and have someone coming to quote tomorrow.

    Also how long does it take to fit a bathroom? I don't mean to complete it but to make it usable?
