Shower/Toilet quote.

Had three quotes recently.
The first one was for £4600, everything as I had asked, but not itemised, and no advice.
The second chap said No No No nobody has it done like that and recommended a much simpler design again including shower, close coupled toilet and wash basin., verbal guess £2000, still no seperate labour charge. Never did get a written quote AND he mentioned would include a new cable (more than 6mm wide) from meter to bathroom,which the first chap hadn't mentioned.
Third quote,he was more into tiling than anything, said the cabling job would be cheap, take it outside and bring it back into the bathroom.Not sure that is according to regulations!! His verbal quote started at £1200, went up to £1800 then "how much you afford".
You couldn't make it up.
