Craig David Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 No, not kill it. Take out all the bath and sink and toilet and re tile it and paint it and put fancy ones like Mrs Craig David might have seen in a showhome? Any ideas? More or less if the bathroom has a shower rather than a bath (to start with and you don't swap)? Thanks in advance. :nana2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snipe202 Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 but seriously, if mrs craig david has spoken, i will have a word with my mate's brother in the morn. he's in the trade and will be able to give you a more useful answer. were you thinking of buying the units and installing them yourself, or gettin the job done as a whole?

_cj_ Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 if your not going to go down the cheapy route a rough estimate would be bathroom suite & shower £ 2000 Tiles £ 35 per sq m Tiling Labour £29 per sq m Fitting Costs £ 600 but it really does vary sooo much - hope it helps Regards, alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders25 Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Mine cost £2000 to do all the suite, tiles, paint etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stellaZ Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 shower baths are the way to go, expect to spend upto £800 for a decent shower bath and screen decent toilet pans, cistern and all fittings could cost upto £200 then a wash basin (bathroom sink lol) could cost upto and over £200 tiles can be anything, then there is all the hidden costs like flooring, ceiling, moving radiators or just changing for a towel rail could cost upto £300 or more then there is the labour which could be upto £50 an hour if not more, a decent plumber would take upto three days to fit all this (without tiling and flooring and ceiling) properly with copper pipe (usually 8 hour days) we just finished a job for a lady which cost her all together in excess of £6000 of course you could use cheaper materials, but im guessing that mrs craig david has taste lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stellaZ Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 for an idea of cost of materials, go and get the new B&Q catalouge (its all good gear) it has everything you need, at decent prices (usually cheaper than trade) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
komarme Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I'm in the middle of haveing mine done. We had to remove old tiles and have the walls re plastered. We spent around £3400 for the Shower, Bath, Basin and Toilet and fittings. another £170 for under floor heating, £200 for a towel rail £800 for tiles. We had to replace the tank £70 for a larger one and we needed a pump £160 for the shower. £200 for a bathroom mirror cabinet. Material for the bath panels. £100 for some LED lighting and around £2000 for labour as things in the bathroom needed to be moved from their original position. So I would say you could quite easily spend £5k -£10k depending on if you want basic or grand designs. I wanted a in wall TV but the wife wouldnt have it.

Craig David Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 Hmm... interesting. Many thanks everyone for your help. We're about to buy a house (today maybe!) and we're still considering two. One is slightly better but the bathroom(s!) are quite badly done so Mrs CD would want them re-done. She'd want to get rid of all the artexing in that house too so I nthink it'll all add up quite a lot. We'll probably go for the other one I think..... we can just leave it as it is and if we get any spare money just put it into the mortage rather than spend it on bathrooms. Thanks again folks - really really useful info there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
komarme Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Keep in mind that if you redo the bathroom it will add money to the value of the house. People care about how a bathroom and how a kitchen look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vigilante Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 who the feck would spend that much money on a BATHROOM?! :D that's like a pair of HUGE turbos, or an assassin to take out the wife so you are then ALLOWED to spend the rest of your money on the car :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig David Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 They're only 3 or 4 years old. We've just put in an offer on the one that doesn't need the work doing - sounds like it'll be accepted. Thanks again chaps - you've helped us pick the right house (if it turns out to be the wrong one, I'm blaming all of you!!!! lol ;) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
