Bathroom refit, can you sense check these 2 configurations

[cable_guy]

Hi all,

What do you think would be a reasonable price to rip out and replace a bathroom suite for this bathroom please?



I would like some advice. I would like to know how different your quote would be (both with me supplying the suite) for a direct replacement; and one for changing that corner bath into a normal bath along that back wall, with a shower over the bath, instead of the standalone unit.

Now the taps for the bath are on the right corner just out of shot, so there will need to be some re-plumbing involved to get the bath taps closer to the wall.

I just want to know what I'm talking about a bit better when I get local plumbers round to show it.

its not and never will be a 'direct' replacement.

haha I know, I've never seen anything like it!

OK so I'm guessing from the flippant replies you all mean "it's impossible to quote without seeing it in person and where the pipes are etc" ?

[REDSAW]

£1500-£2000 including the second scenario reconfiguration? I really have no idea how much it'll cost.

I'm only talking about refitting the sanitary ware, not tiling or electrics

I"ll let you in to a little secret the one im doing at the minute is just shy of 8 grand

Staffordshire. Do you mean what is the quality of the suite? If so, I'm picking up bits and bobs as I see good deals. Ideal Standard saintary ware & Bristan and Hansgrohe taps

Are they supplying the suite?

directly on the left of the photographer. It's really close to the wall actually, I was going to ask if it would cost a lot to move it along towards the toilet slightly.

the one i am doing ///for the last 4 weeks is 15k, stuck at the moment as the t.v above the bath had to go back and the marble work tops are not ready!!

The best advice I can give you with regards to a bathroom installation is never go on price alone. Get several quotes and listen to what each one is saying about this bathroom and you'll not only get a lot of advice but will know who to go with for the install.

Plus I can tell just by looking at it, it's in no way a straight install. Guaranteed under that old shower tray, will require a new floor for starters and I can see lots of pipework needing rerouted.

Exactly the bloke on mine said his inital thought was the price was high but after seeing what i am doing/he is getting for his money he"s glad he payed the extra and went with me

Well thanks for the first sensible answer.

To give background, the house is 1995 built and the current kit is Twyfords.

What do you think will be wrong with the floor underneath the shower tray? Rotten floorboards?
