Price examples
Basic bathroom
Below are some price examples of different styles of bathrooms. You want to build a bathroom, but don’t want to spend too much money on it. In most basic bathrooms you will find a shower, a single washbasin with bathroom cabinet and in some cases a bathtub. The floor is usually covered with ceramic tiles instead of natural stone tiles. To build a basic bathroom with an average surface area of 9 m², you need to calculate an average of £5,000 – £7,500. The cost of installing this type of bathroom comes out at an average of £7,500 – £10,000 for a bathroom area of 9 m2. This amount includes installation, materials and VAT. This type of bathroom often has a spacious shower, a single or even double sink, bathroom furniture and a standard bathtub. Usually equipped with A-brand bathroom furniture and sanitaryware.
Luxury bathroom
If you have a larger budget to spend on installing a bathroom and you like a luxury style or real design, then you should consider an average amount of £10,000 – £15,000 for an average bathroom area of 9 m2, including materials, installation and VAT. These types of bathrooms are almost always equipped with a double sink, one or more bathroom furniture, a very spacious shower and a luxurious lounging or spa bath.
How exactly is this price structured?
The installation of a new bathroom is usually carried out by a contractor or bathroom installer. The total price for this project can be divided into several separate elements. These components are: labour costs, material costs and in the case of remodelling: disposal costs. These disposal costs of old sanitary ware, bathroom furniture and debris from demolition work are in most cases listed separately on the invoice.
What does this price depend on?
Choice 1: Standard or customisation
Not only the size of your bathroom, but also the dimensions determine the cost of installing a new bathroom. If you are dealing with a sloping roof, then logically, customisation should be involved. In most cases, applying customisation causes a substantial increase in the total amount. The difference in price in the case of customisation is as much as £1,500.
Choice 2: Luxury requirement
If you have a great need for luxury fittings for your bathroom, this will directly affect the total amount. For instance, the cost of a standard bathtub is lower than, say, a spa bath or steam shower cabin. In case you settle for less, that will lower the price. Depending on how luxurious you want your new bathroom to be, the difference in price can be as much as £5,000. These options are listed below with prices including installation, materials and VAT.
| Extra option | Average price (incl. materials, assembly and VAT) | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Floor heating | £755 | Up to 10 m2 as main heating (without radiators). | |
| Whirlpool or spa bath | £2,700 – £6,700 | A wellness bath with, for example, bubbles and steam instead of a standard bathtub. | |
| Stream/spa shower cubicle | £ 1,600 – £ 4,300 | Stream cubicle with massage jets, LED lighting and radio. | |
| Natural stone tiles | £ 1,150 | Up to 9m2. |
