Bathroom Suite Replacement

Posts: 1,727 Forumite
Hello all,
I've been quoted 650 quid from a Polish Plumber to remove my old bathroom suite and plumb in a new one. I live in Battersea, in a first floor flat.
All I want is the suite fitting - tiling etc is being taken care of separately by a friend and myself.
I thought 650 wasn't too bad (I'm supplying the suite), but any thoughts from others?

P.S. Cheap price for Battersea...have you seen his work? As always, three written itemized quotes are in order.

Hi Canucklehead,
Yes I did - but decided to save up some dosh first!
Then I found a friend with some tiling experience, and decided how much more money I could save.
Let me know if you think this is a false economy...
Hope you're well Canuck!Errors of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it. - Jefferson0 -
Good afternoon: Ah...true moneysaving! If you can do it yourself (or with the help of your mate) then go for tiling it ...lots advice available online;) eg. http://www.ultimatehandyman.co.uk/tiling/index.htm

just goes to show the price differance up and down the country £650 to change a bathroom suite labour only seems expensive to me, the going rate in manchester is £350 no wonder my london based landlords want me to work in london for them0

I paid £400 in the Hone Counties not long ago and that included some pain in the !!!! pipework for wall mounted bath taps0

£650 seems ok, we paid that approximatly 3 years ago, although there was a bit of moving around stuff in the bathroom.
Ask him if you can see some work he has already done?
Just a bit of reassurance that you are getting value for money.
Happy bathrooming!!
Life's way too short!
