Average cost for professional bathroom refit

oldwiring

What have folk been charged recently to have their bathrooms refitted and was shower over bath or separate and re-tiling part of their quotes? A relative lives in the Bristol area and has had some what in my opinion are very excessive estimates.

Thy would not want gold plated loo seats, just a reaonable quality ( not MFI) job.

anything between £1000 and £15000

Our small shower room was refitted before we moved in cost was 6K in South East.

We just had our bathroom done. Completely stripped to bare walls. Free standing bath. Large walk in shower. Basin and toilet with a long run of cupboards. Two heated towel rails. Tiled floor and walls. Ceiling replastered and six spotlights. Back lit mirror. All in £10,000. I'm still holding a £2,000 retention against the final finishing details but in general am very pleased with the result.

My advice. Make sure you agree a sizable retention. I agreed to release £1,250 two days after its finished to my satisfaction and the remaining £750 four weeks after that ( to allow for any faults that aren't immediately apparent).

In my previous house I redid a basic bathroom for £1,000 to sell the house. It really is a matter of you can spend any amount.

So what would you consider a reasonable average out of your wide figures?:D

handyman.

my point was there isnt an average. Depends on so many things you cant even start to say whats 'normal'

you would have to be a lot more detailed about the refit before getting even a ball park figure

April 06 - Wojtek the Pole (not one of the new wave he's been here 8 years) - old tiles, suite & floor ripped out. Floor stone tiled, walls 50% tiled, new toilet, basin, shower bath & screen. Walls & ceiling skimmed & emulsioned. £1000 labour I sourced & paid for all materials

Landyandy, you must have more money than sense..

I run a small Bathroom/kitchen company and have never charged more than £6k for a bathroom which includes everything you mentioned.. And we mostly use Matki products...

I've got 2 bathrooms in the pipeline at the mo both fairly small (less than 3 x 2M) 1 a refit (everything incl. flooring walls and ceiling), 1 a new room (but waste stack not too unconvenient).

Am waiting for all the quotes at the mo.... Will let you know!

I picked up second hand cast iron stuff, I reenameled it and used acid to get a bit of rust off and tiled the bathroom for around £500 (dont know the exact cost but it just meant less money went into the savings accounts that month).

My aunty got charged 10K for her bathroom to get done, I wonder if she would have given me 10K if I would have done it for her. Guess she just has more money then sense and lots of millionaire bathroom fitters lol.
