Cost of installation of a new bathroom suite in small bathroom

Recommended Posts

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

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)

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
