Bathroom

Today we went looking for a new bathroom suite. After looking around we found a nice suite for £399. We started to make purchase noises, so we were sat down at a terminal, where they started to take details.

lursa said, "We'd like installation as well please."

Without batting an eyelid the person serving us said "That will be at least £2500. It does include the suite."

Our jaws dropped as we did the maths in our head - £2100 to fit a toilet, basin and bath. No doubt extra for the shower unit I'd like fitted too. I;m certain if we'd asked them to do tiling and flooring it would be even more.
The quote we got (from MFI) at Christmas for the fitted kitchen (sink, cooker, fridge-freezer, numerous cupboards) has a cheaper installation cost than this!!!

So, we're back at home, a little shell-shocked, wondering if we'd grossly under-estimated the cost of fitting a bathroom suite, or if B&Q are taking the piss.

We'll try to get some quotes from local plumbers, just to see what the going rate is.
