Cost of installation of a new bathroom suite in small bathroom

[MikylaJ]

I was originally quoted ?1725 exc vat for installing new flooring, new tiles and paint job in bathroom 1.6m x 1.6m.

I then decided to put in a new thermostatic shower and totally new bathroom suite & radiator (all in same position). I have now been invoiced a further ?2652 exc vat for plumbing making the total installation cost ?5252.40 inc vat. It didn't occur to me it would be that much and I was never warned of this additional cost. Is this going rate in East dulwich or does this seem steep? Would appreciate feedback from other tradesmen and anyone who has had their bathroom done recently.

Thanks

That's double expensive I'm a plumber and it would have been a LOT cheaper

I had a bath removed and replaced with a shower last year. It was not necessary to remove floor tiles or wall tiles, but additional wall tiles were needed. Grab rails and a chair were installed and the shower runs the length of where the bath used to be. Cost was around ?2000 for what is now an accessible disabled shower (with a manageable small step, not a wet room)
