Default Electric under floor heating - is it really that expensive to install??

Hiya,

We are about to start having some work done at home and thought
underfloor heating might be a bit of special touch in our 2.2x2.8m
bathroom. When we were discussing the possibility with the builders
the actual cable mat was initially estimated at about £300 (which I
saw priced in their supliers brochure).

They are now telling me that supply and fitting will be a total of
£750!! £400 to fit? This has come as quite a surprise (to put it
mildly!) and we are now reconsidering.

It will be in a new bathroom so there will be no upheaval of tiles/
flooring will be involved. All wc/ vanity will be wall hung so no
awkward shapes to work around.

How long should installation take? (from what I understand the cable
mat is placed directly underneath the tile grouting - tiling is
seperate).

Is this a realistic price?

Thanks in advance
Louise
