Yes that’s right re replacement cost. What you should do is get a qualified person in to assess the current bathroom, and give an estimate of the replacement cost, i.e. like for like. In this case you say the owner is paying for the tiles and fittings so you may be ok.
An owner can’t expect the OC to replace a basic bathroom with marble and gold taps.
Failure of an owner to inspect and report problems that then become bigger problems is a big issue, I am not sure what measures can be put in place to deal with that. You could be proactive and arrange investigations of other lots, but you may not like what you find.
