How much is the average for refitting and retiling a normal sized bathroom from a standard supplier? Rough ballpark figure?
The present tiles (about 4-5inches square) are everywhere, I want these removed, the walls will probably have to have some TLC, and a new suite fitted and walls retiled.
Most suites seem to be in the range of 300-600 quid, where's the rest go? (A day to strip out, a day to install, two days to tile.. am I missing something here?!)
About 9 feet by 7 feet. The room used to be 2 (WC was in a narrow partition, but this has been removed. The negative side to this is that there is a downpipe, encased in a wooden 'box', where the partition wall used to be..
Nothing much, just removal of the old tile adhesive..

Be nice to have everything supplied, but lots of suppliers here.. I just need the job done quickly, as I have a large family :)
I'd assume they brought their own.
I'd like a little bit of alteration, like to move things around a little, but is price dependant.
Not a good idea, it is on shiney paper so no good for bumpf recycling ;-)
Well that depends on the suite. We wanted a particular bath, which has a curved glass shower screen etc. Add a fancy MIRA electric shower, taps, dual heat towel rail (£300 alone), bidet, and it soon mounts up. I seem to recall the local plumber's merchant bill for most materials, less tiles etc, was over £2k.
I'm fed up with the naff design of my bath that carefully channels the water from having a shower and dumps it on to the floor.. (the floorboard has gone rotten now!)
Just had the bathroom and ensuite done in my house. Approximate costs below;
Bathroom (remove existing suite and replace with new. Remove all wall tiles and replace with floor to ceiling tiling. Put 6mm plywood on floor and tile Replace radiator with towel rad. Decorate. All works except for the painting was done by one man).
Suite £500.00 Tiles £120.00 (cheapo white tiles to walls and B&Q floor tiles) Other materials £550.00 Towel rad £59.00 Mirrors £200.00 Labour £1,600.00 Decoration about £100.00 (part of a larger job)
Ensuite (remove existing shower, toilet and basin, remove all tiles and shower partition wall.. Fit bath, toilet and basin in new positions, which meant new connection outside to soil stack for toilet. Fit new towel rad. Tile floor to ceiling. 6mm plywood to floor and tile over.
Suite £299.00 Thermostatic bath/shower mixer £70.00 (off eBay) Towel rad £59.00 Tiles £400.00 (more expensive ones this time). Materials £470.00 Labour £1,800.00 Decoration again about £100.00
Both jobs went (luckily) very well. There was a lot less agro having just one person doing everything rather than trying to get different trades in to do the various jobs.
