$9K Really?
After the plumbing was added (shower) and the walls resheeted we paid a tiler $2K to apply waterproof membrane (whole room), put in bath and tile shower, floor, side of bath, walls. Toilet and shower screen put in separate. Hubby put vanity in and taps on. I didn't think that was cheap. Maybe I'm wrong. Smallish bathroom (but big enough for a shower plus bath, toilet, vanity).

Seems a bit steep, but depends on the size of your bathroom.
I was quoted about the same for a similar job, but everything included, i.e. demolition, retiling, lighting, bath, shower, vanity etc.
My bathroom is a similar size to travelbug's.
I got quoted $3700.
I did what I could to rip out the bathroom (bathtub, half the tiles, toilet, sink, shower). Half the tiles were tiled on top of tiles on top of tiles and was a REAL pain getting off. Had my guy finish off the job for me.
He re-rendered half the walls and the entire floor, re-plumbed the bathtub tabs, capped off old sink taps, complete waterproof and tiled. Full length two walls and half height the other two.
Shower was an extra $450, custom cut and installed.
I purchased the tiles and he installed them for me ($400). Toilet ($250) and vanity ($180) I installed them myself.
