I'm refurbing a small cloakroom. One of the local firms was going to get the job but they decided labour (day plastering, half day decorator, half day electrics, 1.5 days from a fitter) should cost a crazy three and a half grand so obviously I'm project managing it myself Everything is going relatively well - nice things cost a lot, labour has gone up (but honestly isn't a grand a day...), copper is terrifyingly expensive. But the one thing I can't get my head around is bathroom cabinets.
These are a very small cupboard with a mirror on the front. I can barely find one below 200 quid. Even Ikea want about 150. Why is this?
And don't get me started on LEDs and bluetooth in a cabinet....I haven't even looked what the BT does but I know you can spend 1200 on a small mirrored box.
BTW Wickes do have cabinets for about £85. They are made by Croydex, are a very big player who get very bad reviews. I popped down to Wickes to take a look. I can see why.......
