New bathroom

velocity_girl

I've received the below estimate to supply & fit a new bathroom. I had in my head maybe £5000 or so, though totally willing to admit I had more or less plucked that out of the air. The room is very small, only 147 x 197cm, so just expected it to be a bit lower. Does this seem normal/reasonable?

I'm in Glasgow if it makes a difference. If anyone has recommendations for bathroom fitters for some more quotes they'd be welcome! I'd actually probably prefer labour only and I'll buy the suite etc myself but these guys quoted for both.

Thanks for any advice.

Labour to remove existing bathroom suite, radiator, wall and floor tiles, plywood, damaged plasterboard, clear site of all rubbish £340
1/2 skip hire £90

That's not a bad price considering you're getting everything for that, we've been quoted £5650 just for the installation. Get another quote from someone else so you have something to compare it to.

Get another quote or two. 5k should be quite doable. Pm me as i can recommend a couple of companies

I would say look for more quotes.

We are having a full bathroom refurb and have a quote of £3500 for all labour and materials and that includes things like underfloor heating, recessed shelves, ceiling spotlight in the shower, thermostatic shower installed along with the £1500 for tiles, shower, enclosure, toilet, sink and light up mirror/cupboard is £5k.

I believe a small bathroom like yours you can get it for less

Where're you having this done Richie?

They have quoted to tile the whole floor 35% of that is covered by the bath.

your total 4 walls before doors. with say 2.3m high walls

2.3 * (1.47 + 1.97)*2 ~ 16SqM @ £25 ~ £400


lot of room for waste in the numbers.

For the size of room easily achievable less than 5k there estimate (not even a quote???? ) is so open to abuse that really its only use is to wipe your !!!! with:rotfl:
