New Bathroom

hallster11

Hi

This has probably been asked before, so apologies if it has.

Looking to have a complete overhaul on our bathroom and would like to make sure we are not going to be ripped off! If anyone has any ideas on the below it would be much appreciated. I am terrible at DIY so everything would need to be done professionally.

Size of bathroom is about 4.5 sq metres in area and 2.5 metres in height.

New flooring - no more than one days work for a pro - whats the going rate?
New tiling on walls - going to have half tiled, half painted - again, going rate on tiling on wall?
Plumbing - new bath, basin, toilet, shower, towel radiator.
Door - new door and door frame required - going rate again required for fitting.

I know that no-one can give me a cost on the bathroom suite. I'm after a freestanding bath, basin, toilet, shower plus cubicle, new taps and towell radiator. I'm hoping to pick all those up for around £1000-£1500.

Would be good to know the approx estimates for the above for a bathroom of my size.

Cheers in advance.

We paid £100 for our bathroom flooring to be fitted(karndean) Room is about 12ft x 6ft but a few awkward bits cos its a loft conversion.

Most tilers I've spoken to have said £20 per sqm. I would say average day rate is about £120 to £140 for plumbers as thats what we've been charged in the past.

A word of warning-

If you buy the bits yourself and emply someone to fit your bits you can have problems if things go wrong.

Lets say your bath cracks, but is under guarantee. The guy who installed the bath will not come out and sort the replacement as he never supplied the bath, so he will want paying again to remove the bath and then fit the new one.

Just something for you to consider!

Just get some quotes. Fitters will give you a rough price on the phone. I've had a couple for a similar size bathroom of at least £4.5K and £5K, and a colleague paid £4.2K. I like the idea of having one firm do the whole shooting match that way it is all coordinated properly, and there are no !!!! ups that no-one owns up to.

By the way that word - !!!! - is not that rude!
