Bathroom labour costs

[Phil]

Lots of things to go wrong with tiling and costly to put right, anyone whos dropped a tile in an expensive shower tray or bath or had to fork out for a failed floor will know what i mean.

TBH we normally charge £4,000-4,500 ish plus VAT for labour for bathroom installs. That would be a fairly typically sized bathroom with full height tiling and floor tiling. We don't convert all of them but we convert enough to keep busy.

Granted, this price usually includes skimming and painting ceiling, fitting downlights and a decent extractor fan, tanking matting behind tiling in showers and replacing floor with marine ply if it's chipboard or floorboards. Probably a bit over the top but we would give a 2 year warranty on all of our work.

Bathrooms are a royal pain in the bum and if we're doing them we want to be well compensated for the stress etc!

2 years of warranty - that's brave ... some people do not know how to look after their bathrooms. Does the price include materials or is that just labour ?

To be fair, it took me a day to remove everything and put the tray in / alter shower pipework
Then went back for a day and fitted shower, door and basin/ toilet
Tiler took about 5 days at least.

That's just for our labour. To be honest, we don't convert all bathrooms but the ones we do make it worth the work. They are knackering work and already in late 30s can't do them back to back all the time!
