mighell35

just bought a new house but bathroom needs some work!

quote was £2600

Remove tongue and groove panelling from ceiling
Remove Wall tiles
Remove laminate flooring
Remove shower tray, hand basin, toilet
fit new spotlights into ceiling and plaster skim
fix new wall tiles (floor to ceiling)
fix plywood to floor and tile floor
connect and install new bath,toilet,hand basin with pedestal

room size is 1.8m x 2.3m

We will be supplying the whole bathroom suite and the floor and wall tiles.

we live in north london/essex

We have emailed him back asking if this could be reduced....he has replied saying he would take off £400 if we remove the tongue and groove ceiling....and also take off £300 if he only half tiles the walls

any ideas on the price
thanks in advance!

Hi,

Sounds a little dear to me considering you're supplying suite and tiles.

As I see it you will be paying for labour, plywood, plaster, adhesive, piping and fittings.

I'd be inclined to ask how long the work will take to get an idea of the schedule and then try alternative quotes asking for labour to be shown as a per day rate.

This will give you the cost of labour and the cost of materials.

To give you an idea me and a mate removed my old bath, sink and toilet and fitted new ones in 1 day.

Hope this helps

Hi,

I agree with Old Skool. The quote seems quite steep for fixings and labour work especially as you are supplying your own suite

To remove the tounge and grrove ceiling is fairly straight forward as are the tiles from the wall, laminate flooring, existing shower tray. Maybe you can do these jobs yourself??

Have you had any other quotes?

Are you have builders doing the plastering/tiling and a plumber to fix your sanitory ware and bath?
