New Build Bathroom Tiling

We're moving into a new build property where we didn't get to chose the bathroom tiles - we're really not keen on the choice so are looking to change them. Is this something that can be done in a new build and if so how much would it cost roughly?

"Cheapest option would be to tile on top of existing tiles, if your house is a new build it is probably dot a dabbed with plasterboard, it may also have stud walls with plasterboard. It is very difficult to remove tiles from plasterboards. We would generally remove plasterboard with the tiles and start again, by re boarding walls then fit your new tiles. A little bit more expensive but better than tiling on top of existing tiles."
