I expect you'll save £2k shopping around. £400/day is taking the mick.

The only question I've asked is if the price includes putting some recessed shelving into the stud walls as we discussed that.

We would still need to pay for the suite on top of that but we did have a budget of £4k in mind so it leaves us about £1.5 for the basin, bath, shower, enclosure, toilet and fixings. (Thats if we dont go for the underfloor heating).

So is this quote fair?

I would say your second quote Is a good price we are having similar quotes at the moment (although we are having a couple of valves replaced in the airing cupboard, plus the toilet and sink moved slightly and radiator removed. The quotes we have had were £3400, £3700' £4200 and £5650!! These included grouting and adhesive and any plumbing fixings.
