Bathroom labour costs

[Scott_D]

Can anyone who does bathrooms give me an idea of labour costs involved?
Standards sort of size - 1.7x2m
Rip everything out, install new in the same location and full re-tile

I know its asking how long is a piece of string but just a ball park figure, 1,2,3,4,5k?

Between 2 and 4. Lots of variables though.

I always thought 2k was the going rate so turn down bathroom work as its too much effort/hassle for the money
Was chatting to a builder type who seemed to think 3-4k was the going rate for an 'average' quality bathroom

3-4k just labour???

 

[Scott_D]

He may have been exaggerating, thats why I thought I would ask those in the know on here
It does seem that lots of plumbers dont do bathrooms and its now seen as a builders job

Can't be bothered with them at all money is pants.

Only minor works in bathrooms

Doing one at 3000 cash in a few weeks 20 meters of tiles, 4 on the floor, showr bog,basin towel rail, skim ceiling, fit only

Most of ones we do are between 4K and 5k plus the wares but then we never do cheap bathrooms as not worth the hassle

1k labour for the plumbing and leave the tiling etc to someone who does it 5 days a week that can do it better than me.

 

[PlumbBobBob]

2.5k labour plus furniture, tiles etc.

I have just been quoted £4910+ VAT, labour only for a downstairs shower/cloakroom. WC, basin, shower enclosure, towel rail, flooring and about 7m2 of tiling. I'm providing all materials, but will not be accepting this quote.

Thats because you are supplying the materials. Lol.

Or you said you run a merchant and they are trying to get some of their money back.

How big is the bathroom?
If that's a standard bathroom size I think it's over prized. I'd think with materials it could be right but then again it depends on your suit. If you provide the materials it shouldn't be more then 3-4k max ... that's just my opinion. It looks like you don't even tile the bathroom in full do you ? 7m square is not much could be just the bathroom floor.

I haven't measured it precisely, but its about 1.5m x 2.5m.

Then it shouldn't be more then what i previously said. I'd pay max 3-3.5k
