Not sure if this is in the right section, so apologies if not. Wonder if anyone could give me an idea on how much the following should cost:

Having our en-suite tiled, and am replacing the toilet/sink with a new toilet/sink but in the same place and they are the same dimensions. At the same time, we are having a new towel radiator installed, a shower tray replaced, and a shower door fitted. So the plumber's work is:

Removal of toilet/sink/shower tray. All done after old tiles taken off by tiler (tile removal included in tiler price so I'm OK with that).
Removal of existing radiator
Install toilet/sink/shower tray in existing locations once tiling complete.
Installation of a new shower door.
Installation of towel radiator in same location.

The EXACT same job was done by the same plumber in June. However, his quote is nearly double because 'he's basing it on worst case scenario of the shower tray being difficult to fit'.

Any thoughts on cost or time this would take? The plumber is one that works directly with the tiler.

i would personally get a tiler who can do the plumbing or a plumber who can tile.

you will be paying twice as much for the same job. paying top dollar twice..

Thanks for the info.

I spoke with my tiler earlier and he apparently works with another plumber so I'll say where that goes.

But will consider the above certainly based on the recommendation and previous forum work. The only reason I've got the tiler I have is he's done a kitchen and a bathroom for me before and I've been extremely happy with his work.

Thanks again for the link - I'll make some tentative enquiries.

Thanks - I've got someone coming tomorrow - I'll see how that goes and get back to you. Ideally after it being done asap (it was supposed to start tomorrow till this quote bombshell!), but can wait if needs be.

Cheers
