The description seems like standard procedure but a bathroom remodel can cost from £3000 to £10000 depends on what you put in, how big your bathroom is, how complex is your pipe & electricity work and how much is your bathroom suites.

Thanks, it's a very small room 5 X 8 approximately.

Drain is directly outside and loads of pre-existing electrics so no need for new supply etc.

Was hoping more 3-5k than 7-10k x

I don't think £3-5 is particularly realistic for a good job. Not only are you refitting, but you are building as well.

That brief isn't entirely clear enough to understand what you're getting for their quote.

I run a company specialising in kitchen and bathroom fit outs.


TBH your quote, for the work specified is very good value. Its not just a new bathroom, but conversion of an existing space.


Sorry to say that there isn't a cat in hells chance that you would get what you want for £3-£5k

I did similar - turning a large utility room into a downstairs shower room and redid the utility with an ikea kitchen (sink, wall cabs etc).


It cost around £8k all in (no VAT) and was money well spent. I think your budget is incredibly ambitious / very unrealistic.
