The alternative is do it your self. I did my bathroom a loo, floor to ceiling putting in a new suspended ceiling, a few years ago, replaced all the white goods and the plumbing as it was imperial sizes rather than metric so was easier to start again. Even managed to get a palette of modern but slightly undersized 20x24cm tiles at under half price. Took the whole 3/4 palette that they had left, as I would not be able to match them later If I ran out. Had about 50 over at the end. so have enough to do alterations if I want to change things.
The old tiles came off easily enough, had them off in both rooms and prepared the surface in a day. The loo was not out of action more than an hour at a time though I had to totally replumb it in a slightly different position. Including a new feed through the wall from the airing cupboard with its own stopcock, which make life far easier.
Changed an ancient 1970's Green patterned tiled and avocado horror story, in to a modern white and light grey Italian style bathroom and loo. It still cost the best part of £1000+ for all new everything including new towel radiator and materials. and I got good discounts on almost everything. I would expect the same job using tradesmen to cost up to three times as much.
One problem was that the old bath was also imperial sized, to exactly fit between two walls. whilst the new one was metric which is slightly longer. So I had to chase out the wall at each end to fit the bath.
This is a 360x180 so looks rather odd as a thumbnail.
