Heating and plumbing quite needed please!

Hi all,
I was wondering if any of you would be kind enough to have a little look through the work that I need doing and let me know how much I should expect to pay to have all the work done. I'm a single girlie living on my own and haven't had any big work like this done before so I have no idea how much to expect to pay and I don't want to be calling people out for quotes if there's no way that I can afford to have it done yet. The background is that I have a half finished bathroom and my heating and hot water is not working (brrrrrr!!!!). I have been told that the pump needs replacing but even before that none of the upstairs radiators were working. It's a sad state of affairs in my hose right now! lol
Anyway (I think!) this is what I need doing but any further advice would be great...

Fit a new pump to central heating system, drain and rebalance so that all radiators are working
Install a new toilet in place of the old one
Change taps on bath, like for like
Change kitchen tap
Install shower (no shower there at the moment)
Finish about 5 sq m of floor tiling
Tile around bath and from bath to ceiling where shower is
Fit shower screen
Box in existing bath and use the remaining floor tiles on the box
Build a small box at the back of the toilet as the new toilet does not reach to the wall in the way that the old one did
All parts and materials provided.

Thanks a lot in anticipation of your knowledge and advice...and back under the warm quilt I go!! :j

A quick look and I'd say about £500 to £600 labour for the plumbing bits- also depends on what system you have really and what sort of shower install........thermostatic mixer showers are expensive while electric can be cheaper but cost to fit.

fitting a pump and rebalancing the system is about £120

installing a shower depends on type, if electric you also need an electrician and you will need a P certificate from them.

if its a mixer shower about £50 labour only

tiling is about £20 - £30 per square metre for tiling wall and floor
(you do usually pay for quality, recommendation is uaully best, but sometimes some plumbers do tile themselves as well.

building boxing is about £20-£30

changing taps about £100.

all these are really rough estimates hope that helps!
