• 10k seems a lot. do you have a breakdown ? what's adding the most cost ? tiling ?

  • I don't have a breakdown but can ask for more information as the person organising the quote is back in tomorrow to service the boiler. That said, the request was a ballpark quote to see if I could afford it and the answer is currently "no" and a requirement to take 50% off the cost in order to proceed.

    I think the cost is driven by an awkward layout, waste connections that can't be easily moved, no opportunities to take down walls etc (tenement flat).

    Edit: this design from 5 months ago, that's how long it's taken to get two quotes. £13k and £14k. (The 10k is a ballpark for refurbishing within changing the layout)

    Alarm bells. Get a bunch of proper bathroom fitters to look at it. Get on your local groups and ask around for fitters and recommendations.

  • Is he supplying the suite, tiles etc at that money? You could likely make some savings there.

    Ask him if he’d be prepared to work on a day rate and take some of the labour off him by taking all the old tiles off etc.
