Default Installing bathroom labour costs - Manchester...

What is a ballpark figure I can expect to pay to have someone install
toilet, washbasin, bath, electric shower, extractor fan, lighting and all
associated wiring, tiling and plumbing works in a 5'x9' bathroom in the
Greater Manchester area?

Room was previously used as a bathroom so close access to soil pipe, waste
water drainage and potable water services are close by.

More info required - all parts supplied?
Electrics - RCD protected board, cables already in etc?
Quality of parts supplied (B+Q type stuff is harder to fit than better
quality parts)

I'd say to start at £1000 for labour, and £1000 for parts.
Better quality bathroom goods cost a lot more than the rubbish at B+Q,
so for a reasonable finish, expect £3000 upward for supply and fit.

If you want the cheapest rubbish, then £1500 all in could be done.

All parts would be supplied, but have not decided on the exact parts yet,
was just looking for a ballpark for labour costs to put together a budget
for the job. Bathroom never had a shower before so a separate circuit needs
to go in for that. Electrics should support it.

are the walls to be completely tiled? - what area, in square metres is to be
tiled?

What's on the walls now?

is the floor to be tiled?

How far is the shower unit from the electric meter approximately?

Is the radiator staying?

what are you doing with the ceiling?

Ditto, the door?

What's the floor construction?
