Default New Bathroom - cost?

"huLLy" wrote in message
...
I have an average sized bathroom, I want a supplier to rip out the old
(everything goes including tiles) and replace with, say a 600 quid suite,
retile and floor. In a round ball park figure, (Such as B&Q doing the
install..) how much? I don't want to go over 5k really?

huLLy,


The best thing is to ask around - friends and family - that have had similar
work done. If they're happy with the job they may tell you the kind of
costs. you can get people in for an estimate - or better still - a quote.
Decide from the recommendation of friends and/or the 'vibes' you get when
they come round. It will cost more than you imagine and it will take longer
than you think. Our toilet was rarely out of action - never overnight, but
we lived for a month without a bath/shower - frequent rtrips to our next
door neighbour. A few doors up, another neighbour has had the bathroom
done - two weeks became four weeks...

Also consider qualirt as well as price. I'd rather pay more for a recommend
person/team than less for a bad job. All in all five people worked on our
job - two plasterers - (less than a day), an electrician (two half days),
plumber, gaffer/tiler.

Good luck.
