My workmate has been quoted £5k for fit a bathroom that is 2m by 1.6m, he is having a walk-in shower, re-tiled and re-plastered. This is the quote for labour only..........................is this the norm?

sounds rather expensive to me, we had a brand new bathroom for that with all fixtures, fittings, tiling, towel radiator, extract fan, custom built cupboard with shelves for that much.

This sum, £5k, was the cost for fixing a water damage from a water leak in à bathroom of that exakt size, 2 x 1.6 m (my bathroom), I was told last week. Strange.
Do they also do their laundry in there sometimes?

Yep, I thought that, too. No doubt JG's friend is going to get at least one or two other (*) quotes first......... and not tell the other people about the £5k. (*) If he can get them to turn up, that is........ |

The words "rip" and "off" come to mind.
That is hideously expensive for what amounts to a few tiles and a bit of plastering. And that quote is only for labour?
Get some more quotes.

I did mine earlier this year , labour should be less than 2 grand including tiles . What these firms tend to do is if they are really busy and don't need your job they will give you a daft quote , some people will say yes

Had mine done a few years ago. I bought the suite and tiles (wall & floor) a few years ago and a guy charged me £2k if I remember correctly. This was for the lot fitted and scrap taken away and disposed of I was very very impressed with the work carried out.
I had the fitter off my builder.com , it may be worth a try. I have used a few tradesmen off there and have never had a bad one. Basically if u register you post your job and tradesman will come to quote if interested. There are reviews (some with pics) of jobs carried out by previous customers, along with training certs, qualifications and insurance certs posted by tradesman.
I would recommend it.

As said above construction work at the minute is booming. Tradesman can put in ridiculous prices and afford to even knock back work as they have it coming out there ears. Great for the trades but shit for general folk after a job done at a decent price

I can recommend a couple of guys if you want me to PM you. Reliable, tidy, fair price. Did a cracking job of mine.
