My New Bathroom

Options
Hello Experts :)


I'm wanting to get a new bathroom fitted soonish so I was hoping someone could give me a rough idea of what I should be paying? I'm in West Yorkshire.

The work I (think I) want doing is:

switch the bathroom suite over (bath, sink, toilet) - I'm not moving pipes but the ones that are there now are many years old if that makes a difference.

Make the walls good (every wall in this house is wonky :rolleyes: ) and tile the 4 walls and floor (8ft x 8ft)

Fit a new shower

Possibly a new extractor fan


Its not very detailed I know but I havent had a new bathroom fitted before :o

I would be supplying all the materials, tiles, bathroom suite, shower etc.

TIA :D
The early bird gets the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese :cool:

    Your bathroom is a bit bigger than ours.
    Walls - unless really very wonky, don';t bother making good, but buy wonky tiles - that's bumpy tiles.

    Find someone else who wants a bathroom
    and buy from MFI. Every item will be marginally damaged. Ask for replacements. They won't bother collecting the damaged stuff, and the damage can be VERY small! That's two bathroom suites for the price of one!

    I've recently had mine done in Lincoln...

    they replaced the bath sink and toilet (I bought a new suite in the sale from BandQ) they had to change the coupling of the soil pipe (old pipes) - plumb the bath taps on the other end of the bath from where they were originally (a D shaped shower bath) but keeping the same basic layout. They changed the boxing in of the pipework as the toilet had moved back about 6 inches.... they tiled walls and floor of a simillar sized bathroom (but I supplied the tiles)
    the whole job I seem to remember cost £1080. Oh, AND they supplied and fitted a chrome towel rail style radiator. All I had to pay extra for was a skip £80.

    the plumber did say though that if he'd known the tiles I bought were glass mosaics he'd have charged me more as they were a bit of a pig to fit, the glass tiles look the nuts though, very boutique hotel.... got them from www.mosaictraderuk.co.uk - about £15 a square metre for what B and Q etc want £40 ish for !!
