Realistically if the bath gets replaced we would need to remove all the tiles and plaster and re-do, as it's in poor condition. And the basin is not great as the space is so limited, thus it's a DIY vanity/base...
We've also included in the scope for removing the old water tank (in a dropped ceiling above the current bathroom) which may add to costs.
Tbh I'd need it to be £6-7k for a complete gutting and refurb, otherwise it's not worth doing anything. Currently it works, it's just not very 'nice'.

so you're not moving the waste, or taking down any walls... not sure what's adding expense then. looks like you're slightly changing the design (moving bath, toilet etc) - presumably working round the limitations of the waste etc is adding cost when trying to move these elements. can you not just keep the current footprint/design and freshen up the suite ?
appreciate there's probably an element of 'edinburgh tax' + 'high demand' but even still those figures seem barmy, unless you're using v high end finishes
