UK cost guide
A new bathroom is mostly labour. Fitters, tilers, plumbers and electricians usually account for around half the bill, so two quotes for the same suite can be far apart. These are typical UK prices for budget, standard and premium bathrooms, plus the line items that separate a cheap quote from a complete one.
Typical budget
£3,000 to £15,000+
Supply and fit. Labour is typically 45-60% of the bill.
Typical UK bathroom budgets by project size.
| Budget band | Typical cost | What it usually covers |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | £3,000-£5,000 | a like-for-like suite replacement with standard tiles and the layout kept as it is. |
| Mid-range | £6,000-£8,000 | full strip-out, better-quality suite, porcelain tiling, heated towel rail and minor layout changes. |
| Premium | £11,000-£15,000+ | freestanding bath, walk-in or wet room shower, underfloor heating and premium fittings. |
Supply and fit. Labour is typically 45-60% of the bill.

Ask each shortlisted company to confirm the same scope and timeline. Avoid accepting quotes that omit waterproofing or waste removal; also avoid choosing tiles before checking substrate and floor deflection and ignoring extractor fan performance in windowless rooms.
