  • Just had a quote for doing our bathroom. Ouch.

    £600 to plaster, £990 to tile, almost £4k to do the rest
    materials (probably best part of 3k) on top, as well as flooring and electrics.

    Seems a bit pricey to me... still, in the time it's taken procrastinating, we've saved enough..

  • We did our (very small) bathroom a couple of years ago for about half that labour cost.

    However... in retrospect I should have paid more for a decent job as I am noticing now where corners were cut.

  • A good tiler ought to be about £250 a day. Same for a plasterer.

    I'd have thought 2 days to plaster four walls and a ceiling is right, so that sounds OK.

    What's the other £4k? First fix of pipes should be a day, then screwing in the loo, basin etc another day, maybe 2. £4k is 3 weeks solid work, one week should be plenty.

  • No idea what size area that quote refers to but it suddenly makes the £1,200 we've been quoted for doing a 28m2 room seem reasonable.
