Might be worth doing the basics yourself... Our recent tiling job came out really well thanks to the two guys who actually did the tiling and no thanks to the boss who put in half a days work (more like 2 hours) doing a really shitty screed which required us to buy a lot more adhesive, didn't provide any materials (or even a bucket?!), didn't remove the rubbish and was very happy to take £500 'in cash thanks'.
Point being, if you can do the unskilled work and just get pros in to do the skilled stuff (and avoid anyone sub-contracting), you might save a lot and be able to get the money where it's deserved.

Its a pretty small bathroom, but if you don't think thats toooooo bad maybe I should ask some questions (is it two guys?). I think I could give it a damn good shot in a week and a half but thats based on zero experience. I know folks who have had full refits for around 2k plus fittings, larger bathrooms too, so 2.5x that strikes me as a touch crazy... he did seem good though.
