Bathroom refit

Sikipoo if you use Facebook there is a group called Bathroom Ideas, Design and Inspiration UK that you might like. People ask questions about suppliers, designs, products, pricing and so on.

That’s what we’ve gone for (a comfort height rimless loo). I’m getting excited now .

Do get a comfort style ‘rimless’ loo.

Much, much easier to keep nice and clean.

We had new bathroom fitted last year by local plumber. New bath, sink, toilet plus walk in shower added (no ensuite). Flooring replaced, tiles removed although only half tiled. I bought new tiles online, the fixtures were from a local building supplier. Total cost came to 5k.

Mine starts next week. It has come in at £18000, which is a lot more than I expected when we started getting quotes (more than we paid for our first house ), but that is for knocking down the stud wall to the separate loo, replacing and moving said loo (so moving the soil pipe), a new bath, shower, basin and units, as well as lowering the ceiling and replacing it with a UPVC one, and all the tiling, lighting, flooring and accessories. It also includes skip hire and waste disposal. The people we went with are in the middle of the quotes price wise, but there wasn't much in it. I think they are just expensive now.

My son did mine at mates rates obviously, but you can price everything up in the likes of Wickes and add labour on from there. I had the room gutted including floor taken up and re-plastering. Apparently I'm somewhat fussy and demanding ( cheek of it ) Anyway my fittings came to about 3 grand which I thought was cheap and labour was on top. He's a fully qualified Plumber by the way and did a great job. Thank God I have a Plumber for a Son some of the above make my eyes water.

We had our en-suite gutted and redone in March, roughly 4m x 2.5m. Everything removed, new pipe work, re plastered, bigger shower, new washbasin and comfort toilet fitted, we bought the tiles, MrJ re tiled it. Apart from the tiling it cost approx £1,800.

Sorry, I dug out the wrong invoice, it was £2,900.

I was quoted around the £8-10000 mark last year. I am still saving up...!

We had a small bathroom fitted during covid. Like you are doing, we had the bath removed, new toilet, basin, tiling all walls, and floor.
The cost was £12,000.

Plus skip hire.

My partner is about to have his tiny bathroom refitted. He's going to swap the position of the toilet and sink, but apart from that, it will be ripping everything out and installing modern fittings plus retiling and painting etc.

He's been quoted about £3500 by a local tradesman for the work plus whatever the new fittings cost (about £1500-£2000).

Thanks everyone. Some excellent information. I am astounded at the cost, but needs must and it desperately needs doing.
They are now booking into the new year! Tbh, I’m surprised that they are so busy with the cost of living crisis.

Make sure the shower is big enough to house a separate stool. You may not need it now but mine is a Godsend.

I think the tiling cost the most because I wanted the floor tiled and then floor to ceiling for the walls. I also bought a raised loo seat and what a difference that has made.

It also depends on what they find when old tiles are taken off, our quote includes re plastering if required ( it will probably be needed)

We have a smallish bathroom and are doing similar to you,

Probably going to cost about £15000, we’ve bought the tiles and vanity unit ourselves, the rest of the items will be included in the £15000, possibly a bit more, but we will have to do a tally up,when it’s completed. MrOops usually thinks of other things that can be done as we go along…….

The cost is as long as a piece of stringdepending on your choice of fitments.
