Bathroom refurb budget costs

[IanG1]

Anyone recently had a bathroom refurb based on roughly similar to below mind sharing approx budget cost.

Typical 3 bed semi type bathroom.
Strip out all existing bath, sink and toilet and tiles to all walls. make good for further works and skim ceiling.
Install new 1600 x 800 shower tray in place of bath with mixer etc
New vanity sink/wc unit complete.
Tile all wall floor to ceiling, replace panel radiator for a towel type.

Ball park figure? to supply and install etc.

any replies appreciated

We've got a local chappie that advertises to replace bathroom and re-tile it for £2,500 and I reckon that's a reasonable figure.

All in it's a boit over a week's work, say ten days @ £250, then budget shower, loo and tiles say £1k and that'd be about right

[hotchy]

I done just that, wet wall behind shower, tiled the rest, had a huge mirror inset in tiles, got new lights and that plastic ceiling stuff. All in cost just under £2500.

I fitted ceiling and wet wall to save costs.

4k as a very very rough ballpark

Had mine done this year. Gutted the bathroom. Removed bath. Installed larger shower. Lot of boxing in/false walls. Ceramic wall and floor tiles.

We bought the materials and tiles except for radiator. Fitter provided a new floor to ceiling anthracite radiator/ towel rail which I think was around £350 fitted.

£3900 shower stuff, sinks, wall & base units, toilet, cistern etc just under £4k.

Tiles - around £1k

Labour - £5300 inc vat. Took about two weeks including some week-end work. 1 guy f/t, 1 p/t

We're in Hampshire.

This chap in Leeds has a LOT of information on his website which I found really useful.

just had small ensuite done - shower ripped out, everything re tiled etc

was about 3k labour and 2.5k fittings but we didnt go cheap on the fittings

watch out for vat the f*ckers never put that on a quote!

[scjgreen]

£4-5K

[rsbmw]

A full rip out and replace of a bathroom seemingly costs exactly 5k regardless of what you do

[therealmatt]

That's like asking how much is a new car??

How much is the house worth?

Some good quality sanitaryware/tiles could easily be worth what some people are saying here for the full job.
My average bathrooms are 8k-15k depending how big the room is and the bathroom supplied.

Hopefully dizeee will see this and he can show you what a 4k bathroom will look like.

South East.

£3K labour

£2.3K on other bits, within this we re-used the toilet and tiles were £1K

Fittings and tiles can be anything from around 2k to the moon. Labour can be quite different depending on where you live so I am led to believe. This is exactly the sort of thing I do for a living and we are about to start a very similar job down here on the south(west) coast and have charged 3.5k for labour with customer supplying all the materials and fittings. This does include rebuilding a wall and re-routing some plumbing and electrics though. We would aim to complete in a week with around 8 days work between the two of us.

True, labour for mine was £800. All tiling and plumbing/fitting toilet etc

£800 is great, where you based?

I’ve had 2 bathrooms done and both were £2,500 labour then fittings are anything you you want to spend really. Generally for decent stuff about £2-2.5k so call it £5k all in.

It's not nonsense. Under 5k is easily achievable up north. Theres actually a local company doing entire bathrooms for 4k fixed price and sure it's not any designer stuff, but it's a very nice small bathroom. Then again up north 100k gets you a decent house, 150 gets you a 4 bed detached needing a bit of care. I understand london etc labours crazy priced, but that's what's needed to afford to live in london.

Technically it was £300 to fit and plumb the bathroom and he is a friend so helps. The half room of tiling was 475 incl cement and grout and over half the main wall is a mirror that cost £67 cut to size at a local glazer. That price fitted in with what it says online at £40/50 per sqm. Keep in mind my bathroom is probably the size of most peoples cupboard aswel and was tiled in a day.

Yes I had to fix a leaky waste after myself. Teething problems I'll call it. I understand paying extra for a company to come and do it. Over and done in days. Mines took alot longer with DIY sections etc iv been building a photo collection for my build thread but not managed any time to start one.

I did a full bathroom and en suite rip out and refit just before Xmas (in the far north!).

Good quality stuff (crosswater, giberit, rak) but not top end. But if extra work building false walls to hide the toilet frames but nothing excessive, dropped the wastes to get a low level tray in, that sort of thing.

Came in at £14.4k, that’s me walking into two fully functioning bathrooms and leaving with the whole job done-decorated, flooring, all rubbish taken away.

The house was empty so nice and easy job, if it had been occupied and they’d have been using one bathroom whilst I returned the other labour costs would have been a bit more.

[PositronicRay]

So to summarise.

From £800 + £400 for a few fittings and tiles call it £1200 all in.

Up to £14000 for something a bit posher.
