Re: Electrical work
That's okay, Sue. I asked at work today and it would cost a little less than £5K to re-wire the whole house, but I appreciate it's for the total refurbishment of your bathroom, which does sound a little over the top to me. I'm sure at that price your bathroom will be stunning when it's finished.
My best advice is that whenever you're having a refurbishment done is to contact several contractors and ask them for a fixed price quotation, then you'll have a good idea as to whether or not you're getting a good deal.
Good luck with it, lass.

Re: Electrical work
I am not sure if £5,000 is excessive for a completely new bathroom. My first thought was that it was quite reasonable - particuarly if you are adding a free standing shower, fitted units, tiling, flooring, etc., as well as new sanitary ware. If my memory serves me right I think our bathroom cost over £6,000 about seven years ago and costs must have gone up since then.
