Many of Belfast's Victorian terraces, built during the city's era as a major linen and shipbuilding centre, had bathrooms retrofitted into a former bedroom or scullery well after the house was originally built, which is why so many are an awkward shape relative to the rest of the property.
What causes the surprises
Original lath-and-plaster ceilings below a retrofitted bathroom slow down pipework installation, and older cast iron soil stacks in unmodernised terraces occasionally need replacing as part of a refit even where that wasn't the original scope.
Getting comparable quotes
Ask each builder to quote against the same fixed spec sheet rather than a general description, since Belfast's bathroom stock varies enough in age and layout that a loosely specified "full refit" quote can mean genuinely different jobs.
