13k to Install a small second bathroom

I’ve just been quoted 13k including fittings and fixtures to create a small second bathroom using part of my bedroom. The bathroom will be ensuite size, but will have access to the hallway. The work includes fitting a new soil pipe, 2 stud walls, and knocking down part of the hallway wall. The bathroom will also be fully tiled. Does 13k seem reasonable for this sort of work? I am in the process of getting more quotes, but thought I’d ask if anyone else has had similar work done recently? I’m based in Bexley, London incase that makes a difference.

    "small" and "en-suite size" are subjective terms. Actual sizes and what bathroom furniture is involved would help.

    Fair point. It’s approx 1.80 x 1.80m. The bathroom will have a towel radiator, shower, sink, and toilet. To breakdown the cost, they are charging £10,750 for all the installation costs which includes the pipework, waterproofing, new stud walls etc. The additional cost is for tiles, fittings, and waste disposal.

    Simply replacing the bathroom suite & tiling in an existing small bathroom would cost over £5k so £13k to create a bathroom does not sound unreasonable
