Bathroom installation

Hi,
I've bought everything I need for my new bathroom. Shower, vanity unit with sink, toilet, tiles, paint, taps and everything in between. How much should I be paying for the labour, removing my current bathroom, disposing of it, making good and installing the new bathroom suite?

"Without seeing this project it’s very difficult to say.
There’s several reasons for this which are, the size of the room, the condition of the walls, whether it will need boarding and plastering, if the shower area requires boarding with aqua panels, the list goes on.
A good tradesman will explain what’s required to do a proper job that will last. Beware of cheaper quotes as they will cut corners by using the wrong materials."

"The best way to know this is find an installer, get 2-3 quotes, discuss what you want and let the installer buy products he knows are the correct size and quality.

You could always go buy a load of shite from B&Q that won't last the year out then look for someone to fit it but most professionals would steer clear of the job, therefore you would have to hire someone from a third party website who can't generate enough leads from their own good reputation.

Seems many people would get involved in buying something they know nothing about just to try and save some money, but end up with a crap, leaky bathroom to look at every morning."

"Anyone need to know a couple things. Is ground floor or first floor? Is concrete floor or wood? Shower over bath or wetroom? All this take different times and work to do. Ask for pricing to different guys and decided to best."

"Hi Grace, it is very difficult to answer this exactly without viewing the job properly. Things like plastering etc mat be required depending on existing tile placement and if the new design will have tiles in the same place or not. However, I would say if you have all the materials then an average labour cost without plastering would be around £2000.00. Hope this helps."
