Tiling and plastering in cloakroom

Posts: 8 Forumite
Hi I'm having my downstairs cloakroom re tiled and the artex plastered over smooth and the small basin changed to a larger one
It's going to be 8square meters tiles and 4 square meters plastering
i've been quoted £1,100 to remove the old tiles re tile plaster and fit new basin if I supply the tiles and basin, the tiler said it will take 4 days and could even go into a 5th day and if so it will be an extra £180
Is this a fair quote as i feel its rather excessive

I think you should be looking for another couple of quotes. Whereabout in the Country are you can that can make a big difference.Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

Sounds really expensive!
Try getting a quote from a plasterer, tiler & plumber separately
I would imagine the plastering is going to be about £150-£250
Tiling probably about £450
Sink fitting £120 max
So all in £820Start Feb 2013 £148,900
Initial MFD Feb 2043 --- Target Feb 2035
Current balance [STRIKE]Jan 2014 £146,652[/STRIKE], Nov 2014 £143,509
