    We have just gone sale agreed on house and the previous owners have taken the bath out of the main bathroom and installed a shower in it's place leaving the house with no bath. We have a small child so definately need a bath. Would anyone have even a rough estimate of the cost involved in going back to the bath. Looked on right price tiles and the corner bath we want is 550. Obviously there is variables like how much tiling needs to be done but would the labour cost be 500 or 5000? Thanks in advance

    If the supply and drain pipes are still there from the old bath I would guess around 250 - 300 for labour.

    I'd add another 300-400 for tiling- the tiling is probably going to work out more expensive than plumbing the bath.........

    Put down a grand and if you have change, then all good. A bath will be a few hundred, installing it a few hundred and tiling will cost a few hundred aswell.
