removing tiles and adding shower

Question

We are hoping to change up the bathroom in our new house. 

It currently has a nice freestanding clawfoot bath, vanity with bowl style sink and a decent toilet that I want to keep. 

The bathroom is tiled (floor and all walls) and for some reason a previous owner has then added a cheap and horrible shower.

We want to have a Lisna Water shower put in instead.

I assume we need to remove the toilet/sink/vanity/bath safely before removing the tiles? 

We can remove the tiles ourselves, lay the floor and do the painting ourselves but will need to hire a plasterer and plumber. 

Can anyone give me an estimate for plastering (all 4 walls) and the plumbing labor?

Extra info: The room is approx. 2.25 x 2.40 meters, we want to keep the locations of each item the same so hopefully no moving pipes etc..., ceiling does not need plastering and we are in the north east of England.

Thanks for the question but we can only give an estimate where we have seen the job.

Some walls need filling in first than the other therefore it will depend on how bad the walls are. If you need to know we charge labour 2 tradesman £280 per day there for if there are no complex issues to be done and its a straight forward job it will be £280 that includes money paid to purchase job transport and labour

Unless you have spare tiles removing ceramic tiles from the floor or wall is a perilous business. You may crack or damage some and then you have a big job trying to match them or replace them all.
If you wish to replace the cheap shower enclosure you could consider using marine ply or Fibo boarding instead of removing the tiles. They come in many different patterns and colours. They fix to the wall and can be bought for in circa 1m widths. It is relatively simple and means you do not have to get a plasterer or plumber as the fitting should match.

It's really hard to say before seeing the job. But fully refurbished bathroom with strip out old one and fully fit new one is cost between £3500-4500
