The three price brackets most bathrooms fall into
After hundreds of installations, the vast majority of fully fitted bathrooms land in one of three brackets. These are turnkey prices — labour, plumbing, tiling, suite and finishing — not just materials.
- Budget refresh: £3,500 – £5,500. New suite, fresh tiling to wet areas, tidy finish.
- Standard renovation: £6,000 – £9,500. Full strip-out, premium suite, full wall and floor tiling, walk-in shower or new bath.
- Premium / luxury: £10,000 – £18,000+. Bespoke design, large-format porcelain or stone, frameless screens, underfloor heating, designer brassware.
What actually moves the price
Two bathrooms the same size can be £4,000 apart in price. These are the four decisions that move the number the most:
- Layout changes — moving the WC or shower means re-running soil and water pipework.
- Tile choice and coverage — floor-to-ceiling porcelain costs more than half-tiled walls with paint above.
- Brassware — a premium thermostatic shower set with rainfall head can be £400–£1,200 on its own.
- Wet room vs walk-in shower — a fully tanked wet room costs more than a level-access tray.
Hidden costs to budget for
Some costs aren't always obvious when you're comparing quotes. Make sure your bathroom fitter is including:
- Waste removal and skip hire
- Making good plaster, ceilings and adjacent rooms
- Boxing in pipework and concealing cisterns
- Extractor fan, lighting and electrical certification
- Silicone, grout colour matching and the final clean
How long does it take?
Most full bathroom renovations take 10–15 working days. Wet rooms, large-format tiling and bathrooms with structural changes can run a few days longer. We give every client a realistic written timeline before any work starts.
