I don't know. That's really what bathrooms cost when you account for the building work that goes into it, but this isn't really being done for looks and I'd hope to have a few nicer fittings. There's not a lot of point in spending that much if the sanitaryware isn't up to lasting a good few years.
The plumber actually doesn't seem all that expensive but I'd rarely be charging much less than that for good fittings.
Tongue and groove PVC on the ceiling? A nice space for black mould to grow behind it (that's all I've found when removing the stuff) and it looks dreadful in a space that should be a sanctuary. Does nothing to solve anything. You're far better off investing in a really good humidity sensing extractor. What's the reason for choosing it?Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.
