The cost of a bathroom renovation can vary quite a bit, depending on several important factors. It really comes down to what you’re looking to achieve, what kind of materials and finishes you prefer, and how much you’re happy to invest in your space. At our company, we always aim to tailor each project to fit the client’s needs and budget, hence we’re not afraid to ask our clients what their total budget is. That’s why we typically offer three tiers of bathroom renovations: budget, mid-range and premium. During our initial consultation, we take the time to listen and understand exactly what you’re after — whether it’s a simple refresh or a full transformation — so we can recommend the most suitable options for you.
Materials matter — choosing copper plumbing instead of composite pipes will add to the cost because copper takes more time to install properly. Similarly, if you’re deciding between bathroom wall panels and traditional tiles, tiles offer a more luxurious, long-lasting finish, but they do take more time and preparation to install (about 3–4 times longer, in fact!).
Tile details — things like tile size, pattern complexity, and stylish features such as built-in shelves or trimless 45-degree edge finishes can all influence the final price. The more intricate the design, the more time and precision it requires.
Bathroom fittings — certain items, like concealed cisterns, wall-hung toilets, or thermostatic shower mixers, need more technical installation and usually increase both material and labour costs. Additional elements like underfloor heating, electric towel rails, dual-fuel radiators, integrated LED mirrors, and toothbrush charging stations also play a role in shaping the overall cost.
Property specifics — working in older properties may involve structural repairs or redoing outdated plumbing and electrics, which can take longer and cost more. Likewise, if you live in an apartment or flat, things like parking permits, waste disposal, and access logistics can affect the pricing.
We’ve recently noticed some companies promise bathroom renovations in just 3–5 days. While that sounds tempting, the reality is that a quality bathroom renovation takes time. Just preparing the bathroom space — removing old materials, plastering, waterproofing, plumbing, and electrical work — can take 5–6 days alone. If the room has multiple layers of old tiles or structural issues, it can take even longer.
