How much for a new bathroom?

Main bathroom. Toilet, sink, bath and walk in shower. Including tiling and decorating.

How much would you expect to pay?

I'm interested in this too.

It’s the labour that really costs. We’ve had one done recently and spent 13 thousand.

Buy what you like from online or shops and factor about £200 a day for trades. I'd say 3-4k maximum if you don't that way.

If you go to a bathroom shop you can double that and add some, but you are just paying margins?

I got a quote recently to have my shower room redone - shower cubicle, basin and toilet - and it's a fairly compact room. The quote was almost £10k and that didn't include the tiles or shower/sanitary ware. They would have to remove existing tiles and retile the floor and all walls.

We did ours just before lockdown, same specs as you, with underfloor heating (waste of money) for 7k, but things have gone up a lot since then. They did everything, inc painting, tiling etc.

Ours was done in Jan 2021 (while I was giving birth but I don’t recommend that bit 😂) and was £3250. I had bought all the bits - tiles, suite, shower, towel rail - before hand when I saw offers on and stored them so it was more a case of fitting it all.

We had ours done last year for £7,500. It was toilet, sink, bath with shower over it, new floor, heated towel rail, painting and tiling.

Everything was staying where it was so no moving of pipes.

Had a tiny en-suite done in January and it was around £6k all in. Would expect my main bathroom to be nearer £9-10k with all the extra tiles/labour plus a bath.

ShyMaryEllen · 25/08/2024 18:48

It really depends on the quality of the fittings, and the cost of the tiles (they vary enormously). Then there's things like whether you want to move the loo or not.

If you buy the bath, shower etc yourself and get hire separate tradesmen it is much cheaper than getting a bathroom company, and that is cheaper again than going to a full-service showroom, where people will plan the design, buy all the items down to the loo-roll holder, fit it all and project manage. Mine even sourced skirting to match the rest on the landing as they replaced a door with a wall.

We paid £17k to knock through the loo and bathroom, and fit a new bath, shower, loo (in a different place from before) and basin. It included cupboards and vanity unit, ceiling and lighting and a new floor, as well as full tiling. That's in the North - London would be more expensive.

Ours was the top end of £11K. Full tile, laminate flooring, ceiling, spotlights, 4 piece suite (floating toilet and basin with 2 drawers), and lit mirror with shaver point.
It's gorgeous 😍

We had a freestanding bath , new basin & toilet by a company called Silverdale , walk in shower and all taps etc by Burlington ( fitted by dh )
All tiling , including flooring by a tiler. Still cost £7k .

HarryBlackberry1 · 25/08/2024 18:58

I'm getting my bathroom done this week. We've spent 2k on toilet, vanity, shower, shower tray and screen and tiles for shower and floor. I'm.getting rid of the bath as we don't use it. I'm using an independent tradesman and he reckoned it would come in at about 6k (including the things I've bought). It may obviously go up if he finds the floor is rotten or whatever. Hoping it's not much more.

Full strip out back to brick, bath, walk in thermostatic shower (Mira), bath, loo, basin (Roca), back-lit mirror, new rad & dual fuel towel rail, non-slip floor, new lighting and tiling - approx £17k - took 2 weeks ish.

Marblemarbles · 25/08/2024 22:09

Ours is costing about 11k for labour and materials

We had a new bathroom suite done afew years back for £5k, without a walk in shower. So I’d say 7-10k now.
