Approximate cost to move a door ~20cm

Just before I start calling builders for a quote: I'm looking at a new bathroom suite, but the bath is just too wide for my doorway. I really like the bath, though, so I'm wondering if moving the doorway would be feasible. It would only need to move around 20cm to the left to make space for the bath, and there's ~35cm of space on the other side so that's not an issue.

I'm fairly sure the wall is non-load bearing (knocking on it, it's just hollow plasterboard).

I need to remove the existing door frame and door and replace with new anyway, so that cost is accounted for.

Has anyone had this done? How much did it cost?

If it is a plasterboard wall then you'll probably be getting quotes for about £3-500. The job itself is pretty easy, you may get a keener price if you include this work as part of the bathroom refurb in which case it could be about half the price.

Would a narrower door be a temporary option? :-$

Can you change the door hinges so that it opens outwards?

Op- if u go down this route you will also need to modify door frame along with getting new door...
