Bathroom Fitting

Bathroom re-fit - help!

Anonymous user 01/03/2024 - 2.45 PM

Hi there, we have recently received a quote for a full bathroom refit and are wondering if this is a reasonable price. The reason I am asking via questions is that this quote is more than we wish to spend, therefore do not want to waste anyone's time posting a job if this is a true price! The quote we received was around £5000+ which included: - approx 18m2 wall tiling ( tiles supplied) - approx 4m2 floor tiling (tiles supplied) - full suite refit, including 760 shower enclosure - replace electric shower - ceiling panelling - towel rail Thoughts appreciated. Thanks for your replies folks, much appreciated! I like to think that we are realistic however the cost of the refit must reflect the value of the property in a sense. Lots of different thoughts here so will discuss with my partner before posting a job. Thanks folks!

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Bathrooms can cost 5k but yours doesnt sound particularly big and it may be too much if you are supplying the tiles etc.As long as you werent expecting it too be around 1k and are realistic about what it might cost,then you should post it as a job.Plumbing and tiling etc are as competitive as everything else at the moment so you will probably get a better quote elsewhere.Just make sure that the quotes come from people with good references/feedback because too cheap will often lead to disaster.Even if all the quotes are similar and you couldnt afford to do it,it isnt the end of the world.Lots of people cancel jobs because it is more expensive than expected.These things happen.

This is quite a lot. It depends if you are supplying the bathroom suite as well as the tiles. If the quote is for labour only then it is too high.

Hi nursey14 It seems a bit high depending on the cost of the bathroom suite. We have just completed a bathroom refit for less. Where abouts do you live. Regards Mike Cleverley

Seems ok to me as materials are a lot more expensive than most customers tend to appreciate Plumber, tiler, electrician, possibly joiner, materials, fuel, waste disposal the list goes on You may be able to get this cheaper but just beware cheaper is just that cheap! And if anything goes wrong don't hold your breath for it to be fixed! Cheers Craig smith CMS joinery ( bathroom & kitchen specialist )
