Does it cost to do a bathroom out? New suite, tiled walls, floor tiles?

Not looking for high end stuff, just new stuff? Average sized bathroom, no shower unit.

Depends on the size, whats to be tiled, splashbacks or floor to ceiling. Also how much if any you can do yourself.

2-3 grand for a decent spec i'd say.

go into b&q and check their displays.

you can get a bath for 120 quid or one for 500 quid, just depends on what you want, minimalistic and clean or fancy and with character.

1-2+ grand if you are looking for it tiled. Tiles can majorly affect the cost - big ones or small ones etc.

You can do it for well under a grand if you shop around and do the work yourself.

I like this

Nice bathroom suite on B&Q website for a touch under £400, floor tiles & wall tiles. Can do it myself with my mate so just get my mate a drink.

2.5k for something of a decent spec with someone else fitting it is bang on right now.

Chop a grand of if you do everything yourself.
Chop 500 quid off if you buy more basic fittings.

Lots of sales on just now, I would have a look at places that do bathrooms. Should get a good deal.

Ours is Victoria Plumb. http://www.victoriaplumb.com/?gclid=CK7V5dOJnqYCFcgf4Qodn3E4ZQ

B&Q bathrooms are decent enough, i always reccomend them, you can get takeaway ones for about 200 quid, i charge 300 to fit them so there is 500, you can pay what you like for tiles, and floor tiles upstairs are a bad idea imo

Big difference is laminate you can lift and relay. I put an extension on which meant we had to lift up half of the livingroom - we then just relayed it also extending into the new space

Tiles you normally have to destroy to remove.
