Cost to add a bath to a wet room

The previous owners converted the bathroom into a full wet room, tiled floor, drain in the corner, no bath at all. We've got two small kids now and really miss having one. What would it cost to get a bath fitted back in, and does the wet room floor make the job more complicated?

"For a straightforward bath installation into an existing wet room:

Basic bath supplied and fitted: £800 to £1,500
Bath with new taps, bath screen, plumbing alterations: £1,500 to £3,000
More extensive work to alter the floor falls, move drainage, re-tile, and redecorate: £3,000 to £6,000+"

"Fully depends on set up if the bath is going in and you know longer need a floor drain, you can cover it with the bath and take out the drain by replacing it with a trap under the bath"
