Bathroom works quote check

lizzie201296

Hi
I have recently moved into my first house and am getting some work done in the bathroom.
Some background info:
House is in SE London
All electric
Built late 1980s
Night storage heaters
Hot water tank is on the 2nd floor
Bathroom is on the 2nd floor

The works I am getting done and the quote I have received:
-Fit new shower pump (the shower has terrible pressure). I have been quoted £720+VAT for a Stuart Turner Monsoon Universal pump (no idea what this / if it's good etc).

-Fit electric towel rail in bathroom (has no heating or ventilation atm): £290 + VAT

-Replace existing extractor fan (current one doesn't work - previous people just cut a hole in the ceiling and plonked it in): £225 + VAT

I haven't got a clue what is a decent price for these jobs, so would appreciate if people could let me know their thoughts!

Thanks

Well the pump is £300 on its own and is a good one, so yes pricing (for London) seems OK on this - Towel railing XTractor also OK (for London). But they seem to have been pried as single jobs - I would ask for a good scout (100-175) if you agree to get all done.

If I was spending £1k on this work I would get two quotes, you might prefer the second company!

Thanks - am waiting on another guy to come round to do a quote so I can compare. Struggling to find anyone who wants to take the job though! Everyone round here either too busy or not worth the bother! Strange
