Completely agree with this.
Not everything has to cost a fortune. I did a whole bathroom (with the exception of a new toilet, because the previous one was fine) for less than £3k, including paying for a plasterer (skim of all walls) plumber to install new shower and associated pipework and move the toilet/soil pipe and a tiler (walls and floor). No mates rates, just got a few quotes for each.
I was quoted £11k for a turn key solution. I saved money by sourcing all the bits myself and arranging the trades myself. I don't think it would have looked any nicer if I went for the £11k option, although it would of course have been less admin for me.
