If you move that picture hook to the left a bit....
It seems acceptable.
Plus the bespoke option is ok as they usually work out expensive plus there's quite a lot more work involved.
One thing I would ask them though....'which type of tanking do you use'
Actually I'd ask what shower screen they use too.
go with your gut instinct.
If it was me, I'd want to meet the guy who's doing the work. I'd want to see photos of his work and I'd want to see his qualifications.
But I'm not normal
Wahreo can I just say i've found it really interesting reading your views and responses, thanks for taking the time to post such detailed info and respond carefully to points. I've definitely learnt a thing or two!
Just had another quote for my shower. Looks reasonable to me (though it doesn't specify which actual shower control/head so that may push the price up)
Would love some more input

Done my bathroom at the start of the year I done the bulk of the work myself I had to pay.
For the walls to be bonded out level, plumber to reroute all the copper pipe work under the floor boards (which were then caped of for when I came to fit the bath etc) and a tiler for 2 days.
Rough costs were
walls bonded £400
Plumber £150
Tiler £150
Tiles, grout, adhesive and tanking kit £350
Bath l shaped, shower screen and panel £350
Rad, Mirror bath fittings (thermostatic bath deck taps, shower rail kit, sink taps and waste fittings £320
Row of units with built in sink and toilet draw unit and cupboard unit £400.
Rough room size 2.5m x 1.7m
A tiler for two day cost you £150?
very reasonable.
I struggle to see how people can run a business on that day rate.
a few years ago i did my bathroom by myself and the point when youve got no ceiling no floor and no walls is quite sobbering and i reckon it cost me about £1000 and took me about 3 months from start to finish money saved time lost. all in all im glad i did it because i learned loads
