What does a new bathroom design cost in Aberdeen?
Design comes with the job: the survey, layout and itemised quote are free. In Aberdeen, a complete designed, supplied and fitted bathroom typically costs £6,200–£11,500 including VAT. Prices in Scotland run at about 4% below the national guide, mainly because of labour rates. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Aberdeen
In Aberdeen we cover AB10, AB11, AB12 and 5 more postcode districts; we also cover Inverurie, 14.3 miles away, and Peterhead.
In a city the size of Aberdeen, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. A design survey in Aberdeen covers drainage, supplies, electrics and ventilation, so nothing on the drawing is guesswork. If your Aberdeen bathroom has a soil stack in an awkward corner, the design starts there, because it is the one point that is costly to move.
Supplies across most of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire are soft. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A measured survey of the room, including ceiling heights, slopes, window and door positions and any boxing
- A product list covering the suite, brassware, furniture, tiles, lighting and ventilation
- Checks on the soil stack, waste routes, joist direction, water pressure, hot water system and existing electrics
- A lighting and electrical plan showing switches, fittings, shaver socket and extractor fan
Decisions to make first
Keep or change the layout
Keeping the WC and shower where they are saves on plumbing. The WC is the costly one to move, because it is tied to the soil stack.
Planning for later
Timber noggins in the walls for future grab rails, a wider door or a level shower floor cost far less to build in now than to add later.
Rules that apply in Scotland
In Scotland, a straight refit rarely needs a building warrant, but forming a new bathroom, altering drainage or structural work may. The Technical Handbook uses 15 l/s extract for a bathroom, and the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014 cover new water fittings.
