For all you plumbers/decorators/bathroom people out there

Hi Guys

Sorry to be a pain, but am looking for some help here, as am really lost

I have a small flat which I would like to rent out. Its a very, very basic flat, and the rental income wont be that much. However, the bathroom is in a pretty bad state, as nothing has been done to it for years, and years.

I have been ringing around trying to get quotes for a new bathroom, and have got wildly varying prices. This is what I want :

Remove old bath/sink/toilet
Remove old tiles on wall

Install new bath/sink/toilet
New tiles on walls.
New shower unit plumbed in
Line put down

I dont want anything too fancy at all, just the bare basics, so that it is okay to rent out.

I have had quotes from £3000, down to £1700, inclusive of all parts and labour.

What would you say is a reasonable price, bear in mind the flat is located in SE-london/border of kent.

Anyone got any recommendations for any good bathroom fitters ?

Thanks

Mehul

Definatley not £3000. I fitted my own bathroom just 2 years ago,corner bath,sink,toilet and knocked a wall down and moved it further back,fitted shower and extractor fan,tiled walls and fitted flooring and the total cost for materials was £900.So you should be looking at something in the region of £1500-£2000.
