    Does the quote include removing the old bathroom suite
    and tiles off the wall if you can do this yourself or get a friend to help you might be able to save a few pounds.

    ALWAYS get at least 3 quotes
  • I would agree with the post above when they say get competitve quotes, but on the face of it, if it includes supplying AND strip out, then it doesnt seem like a bad price.

    I would be wary about doing too much of the stripout yourself if your not confident in the plumbing department.
    if i had known then what i know now
  • i think plumbers are in such demand that they can charge as much as they like , the cost sounds pretty standard and if u knock them down they will loose interest in doing the job.
    The only realy way to save money is by doing it yourself !!!!!! :o

  • If you are thinking of getting more quotes maybe this will help https://www.tradesmen-recommended.co.uk. Havent actually used it myself yet, just something I came across whilst browsing and added it to 'favorites' for future ref. :D
  • you cant beat recommendation's from people you know . advantage is you get to see their work before you ask for a quote and good tradesmen rely on recommendations best advertising in the world
