Quote for new bathroom

tdsmithj

We have a small bathroom about 2x3 metres. We are planning on having it completely refurbished. Be bath, toilet, sink, cupboards, flooring, heated radiator.

Been quoted just over £6k for labour and items for about a week's work. All project managed by the company. I thought it was a bit expensive but they are a good tradesman who will do everything till the end.

Is this considered expensive? Are there any good reputable bathroom companies I could get quotes from? I think the labour about 4k but there no breakdown on this but overall cost.

I think £5k is the starting point for a decent quality product and job.

No national company is going to do a better job than a good local company for the same price.

I'm getting quotes at the moment for my own bathroom and I'm buying as much as I can myself, we are doing the work ourselves to strip out the old bathroom so they'll start with a blank canvas. I've got decent but not high end bath, shower, toilet, vanity unit, tall unit, small floor unit and large mirrored wall unit for within a few £s of £2k. Wall tiles will be roughly £400 for half wall on most walls and full height for the shower, £200 for floor tiles (the ones I want are in a 50% off sale)

So far for Labour I've had quotes of £1200 (not keen on this guy), £1900, and £2300 with a few more quotes to come in over the next few days. We've budgeted £2k for the labour so will choose the cheapest that seems most reliable. I basically want the whole thing done for £5k or less but still want a decent job done. Our room is larger than yours and is just a touch under 3x3 metres. 6k for a fully managed fit seems reasonable in comparison

We are pricing up a 2m x 3m bathroom ourselves, retiled, underfloor heating, large walk in shower, new toilet, sink, and cabinets etc. We've budgeted approx £2,000 for the parts alone, without any labour costs

There's spam, and then there's Australian spam.

I'd like to see them quote for a UK bathroom on that budget.

Made from kangaroo perhaps, or are these people just a bunch of wallabees?
