How much for a bathroom refit?

[Contig]

If you’ve had a new bathroom installed recently, how much did you pay? Obviously, it can vary hugely depending on what you have done and where you live, but just looking for a rough guide to start saving towards.

We would be looking for a new bath with overhead shower, sink and loo. Fully tiled with largish white tiles and laminate flooring. We wouldn’t be looking to move anything around from what is there now.

I had very similar to what you’re describing a few months ago. In addition I also had a new towel rail type radiator and spotlights put in the ceiling. It cost £8200. East Anglia.

My guess is 10k.

Approximately 6k for my small bathroom. New bath. Loo. Sink. Existing shower. Boards not tiles which are a bit more expensive. New flooring. All by a local one man band. Took about 8 days.

£9000. New shower, sink, toilet. Old radiator removed and a new heated towel rail in a different place. New extractor fan, new spotlights, under sink storage, fully tiled, walls and floor.

£12,000, Lancashire. Everything, including new ceiling cladding, flooring, bath, shower, basin, toilet, radiator, fan, light, fully tiled. We used a well-established company with a good reputation who only use top quality goods. Well worth it.

We did an ensuite that became very expensive at approx £20k a couple of years back and an extension this year with an ensuite for around £5k. We kept similar high-end loo/shower (roca rimless/ grohe shower/ nice taps), didn't tile the walls (painted) and used panels behind the shower (more waterproof, easy to clean, no grout). So a much quicker install than having the whole room tiled which was the biggest money saving. Floor tiles were large and not too expensive as not buying too many. The spend on our ensuite a couple of years ago taught us a lot and overall our 2-storey extension came in under budget. So it's different to a bathroom, but you can keep the costs down whatever. Shop around lots online and if you've got anywhere you can store bits, talk it through and get things ordered early so there's no waiting in case of shipment issues. And don't forget the tax is a PITA too. It whacks 20% on. Apparently most people try avoiding it which I personally think is morally wrong but also risky with AI.

Complete renovation from bath to shower and fully tiled. Small awkward shaped room.

Bought most things from Plumbworld. Very good value for money and decent quality.
To keep costs down we bought some things like shower, taps, towel rail in the sale and stored until needed.

10k for us, small bathroom, shower over bath, we did change the position of the toilet slightly. We had the en suite done 6 months later (even smaller room) 10k again.

Doing small en-suite shower currently in London. £10k. £4.2k fixtures and tiles (shower, loo, sink, vanity, light up mirror, towel rail), partial tiled. £5.5k labour.

id say reasonably high end finish.

We’re having new flooring, walls back to brick & replastered, new bath, cladding, waterfall shower with a handheld shower. £4k but toilet & sink are staying as nothing wrong with them.

3000 but we picked out and bought the fittings and tiles in Wicks and other stores and paid for the fitting. That's clouded my cost judgement. Done this with both bathrooms recently.

Our bathroom was £8k and just had downstairs toilet done which needed brand new plumbing etc to external drain and that was £3.5k

£8k New everything and spendy fancy tiles/fixtures. Bought everything ourselves, ripped out the old bathroom and local guy did the fit. South west. If we had used his suppliers (low/mid range wickes etc) we could have used his discount but we didn’t like any of that stuff.

Thank you all, that’s really helpful! So I think that we’re looking at saving up about £10k then. Expensive but it really needs doing - it’s currently at least 15 years old and the shower leaks through the downstairs ceiling.

You can make a wicks bathroom look more expensive with little expensive tweeks. We spent a fair sum on one line of bespoke tiles around the top of very bog standard london underground brick style white tiles. It's victorian themed with a mid high victorian style cistern. I don't honestly see how anyone can know where you buy a white suite from? Our sink is out of a skip in the WC and the estate agent loved it when we had the house valued.

We’ve just had a full en-suite refit, it cost £4200 and a new bathroom (kept the existing bath) this was £3500. Both done by a local fitter

A few quid over 10k - back to the brick, new suite in the same place as the old stuff but much better quality and design; decent overhead rainfall + the normal head bit shower (we’d already paid for a new pressurised system to get better pressure); new flooring; better than average tiles. Ceiling spots, replastered ceiling, ceiling and all woodwork repainted throughout.

Took 10 days.

We had ours done in 2021 and it was 10.5 k

We’re not too bothered about a particularly high end look, more of a traditional look as we live in an old rural cottage, although we have very high ceilings. We’re planning to have plain white large format metro tiles and a white bathroom suite with a wood look coloured undersink cabinet and bath panel, with patterned LVT floor tiles (not sure why I said laminate above!).
