oh yeah she definitely got a good price and it wasn't a complicated build but the idea that replacing a bath would be either 1/3 or 2/3 of the cost of a job where trades were on site for weeks is insanity.
Im just conscious that in this thread you might believe you weren't getting your pants pulled down if someone quoted you 6.5k minimum to swap a bath out and 10k for it to be done to a good standard.

Not sure that's fair. It sounds like your mum got a decent price, but you've phrased it as though it's a big job, when in fact there's no serious structural stuff, likely minimal excavation, no plumbing, minor electrical, limited materials for finishing, etc.
I'd say the main thing this place is guilty of is expensive tastes. The sort of inspiration people post tends to be top end.
A builder mate always used to moan about people asking for quotes for things - like say a bathroom hoping it'd be £5k. While sharing a mood board full of >£20k bathrooms.
