Step 01

Roughly how big is the room? Most UK family bathrooms are medium.

Step 02

This makes the biggest difference to the final price. Premium fittings can easily double the cost of an identical room.

Step 03

London and the South East cost 20–30% more than the national average.

Step 04

Tick anything that applies — these can each add £400–£2,500.

What’s actually in the price?

Bathroom renovations get expensive fast. Here’s where the money goes.

01

Labour

A typical bathroom needs a plumber, electrician and tiler. Together they account for 40–60% of total cost. London rates run 20–30% higher than the Midlands.

02

The suite

Toilet, basin, bath or shower. Budget suites start at around £400. Premium fitted bathrooms can run £8,000+ for the suite alone.

03

Tiling

Often underestimated. A fully tiled medium bathroom needs 25–35m² of tile plus adhesive, grout and labour at £40–£80 per m² fitted.
