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.

If he wants the work and understands you have a specific budget in mind I'd hope he'd be fine with that - our plumbers had no problem working around my own diy stuff and understood we didn't want to pay for ripping out and re-tiling (I think they found it pretty funny at points!) Good luck with it.

Get down B&Q on the Old Kent Road and take your pick of fine Eastern European craftsmen awaiting work.

@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...
