First things first: we only take on full bathroom refurbishments. That’s because most of the real work happens behind the tiles and fittings — in the walls, plumbing, flooring and structure. In fact, installing the suite and finishes is often less than 30% of the job.
Many contractors cut corners by leaving the old floor, walls or pipework in place — but without a solid foundation, even the best-looking bathroom won’t last.
We understand price matters, which is why we offer a best price guarantee — but only when the quote covers the same full scope of work. A cheaper quote for a patch-up job might look appealing, but in reality, it costs more in the long run.
Take one recent example: a bathroom that looked fine on the surface but hid severe water damage underneath. The floor joists had rotted so badly that someone could’ve fallen through — a near two-metre drop. This kind of hidden issue is common in bathrooms over 10 years old.
That’s why we start fresh — removing everything, insulating walls, updating plumbing, waterproofing key areas, and sealing properly. The result? A room that’s built to today’s standards and made to last.
The pricing guide below reflects this full-scope approach — quality work, with all materials and labour included.
| Budget Range & Low-complexity | Medium Range & Complex | High End & Very Complex | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small bathroom (4-5 m2) | £7k – £10k | £9k-£12k | £12k-£15k |
| Medium Bathroom (7-10 m2) | £8k-£10k | £10k-£14k | £14k-£16k |
| Large bathroom (10-14 m2) | £9k-£13k | £12k-£14k | £15k+ |
| Very large bathroom (15 m2+) | £13k+ | £15k+ | £17k+ |
The estimates above are for refurbishments. If you want to make a room into a bathroom, this ads £2k-£3k, depending on the complexity of the project.
We don’t usually undertake partial refurbishments, with the exception of converting bathtubs into walk-in showers, which typically cost between £3,000 and £5,000 all-in.
A standard budget-friendly refurbishment involves bathrooms, shower rooms, or walk-in showers, maintaining the original layout, and typically includes wall panels and vinyl click flooring for simplicity and practicality.
Higher-end, more complex refurbishments often feature bespoke wetrooms or significant layout changes, incorporating premium materials such as non-standard tiles and luxury additions like underfloor heating, LED feature lighting, recessed shelving, and custom-made cabinetry.
What influence the price the most are the following variables:
- Age of the old bathroom
- The type of construction
- Layout changes
- Shape of the room
- Size
- Flooring/wall options
- Bathroom suite
- Other extras like recesses, shaver sockets, downlights, extractors fan and so on.
While bathrooms can be expensive, it’s important to remember that bathrooms add a lot of value to a property. This is why most homeowners choose to upgrade them before selling.
