@chrisbmx116 - if you can gut the room leaving toilet/sink/shower/bath in place this should significantly reduce the labour costs. We did that and then bought all the replacement stuff (we weren't changing the layout), got the plumbers in, took under three days for them to reinstall everything. I asked them to do 1.5 days of install, leaving sink and toilet loose/moveable. I then tiled behind toilet and sink and tiled the floor and walls and got them back in to finish connecting everything up. Then it was just tidying bits up. We saved loads of money and now I know I could rip out and replace a bathroom for next time.
Give it a whirl, what could go wrong...

I already took my sink out and put it back for a laugh. Pretty sure I could do the rest. I have tiled walls and floor which is prob a day's worth of removing, not worth paying £500 for that. There is a decent amount of skilled stuff as we were talking moving things around and hiding all the pipes.
I've dropped him a mail saying roughly that, lets see what he says, although would totally understand "nah mate, they are my rates". If someone came to me and said they would do the easy part of my job and I could do the hard part, for half the money, I'd prob say get t' took.

@Airhead @Dramatic_Hammer wise words chaps. The rub is I am a contractor too/on a day rate so I have to balance the time I take off work with the day rate of someone else to do it. I imagine I will be slower at even the basics due to inexperience and my soft office bod build. I am pretty sure I could guy the place, remove tiles, plaster, re tile (did my kitchen tiles) but I do not want to even risk messing with the loo, i'd prob find a way to reverse the magnets and have the whole blocks sewage pump into my bathroom.
Also, anyone asking for payment "in case" and triple jog on. Pay yer taxes like the ret of us you cheeky cunce.
