What does a new bathroom design cost in Dunoon?

Design comes with the job: the survey, layout and itemised quote are free. In Dunoon, 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. Travel and delivery to islands and remote areas are priced on your quote. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Dunoon

We cover every part of Dunoon, including PA23, and nearby Greenock (6.4 miles) and Helensburgh (8.7 miles). Because Dunoon is further afield, we arrange survey visits in batches; tell us your timescale and we will confirm a date before you commit to anything.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Dunoon: free survey, written quote, one team. A design survey in Dunoon covers drainage, supplies, electrics and ventilation, so nothing on the drawing is guesswork. If your Dunoon bathroom has a soil stack in an awkward corner, the design starts there, because it is the one point that is costly to move.

Most of Argyll and Bute is supplied with soft water. 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 clear view of which changes are cheap and which mean moving drainage or opening floors
Elevations and tile layouts on a design, supply and fit project, so the setting-out is agreed before tiling starts
A product list covering the suite, brassware, furniture, tiles, lighting and ventilation
A written, itemised quote, with the price fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed

Decisions to make first

The door

Re-hanging the door on the other side, fitting a sliding pocket door or moving the opening can free up a whole wall in a small room.

Storage

Fitted furniture, a vanity with a tall cupboard, or recessed niches and a mirror cabinet. Recessed storage costs no floor space but needs a stud wall or deep boxing to sit in.

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.

More about bathroom design

Bathroom design in Dunoon: questions

Do you charge for bathroom design in Dunoon?

Not separately. The home survey, layout options and itemised written quote are free, and the detailed design is part of a supply-and-fit job. A complete designed, supplied and fitted bathroom in Dunoon typically costs £6,200–£11,500 including VAT.

How long does a new bathroom design take?

Allow survey visit plus design on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Dunoon.

Is the home survey in Dunoon really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover PA23 in Dunoon?

Yes. We cover all of Dunoon, including PA23, and nearby Greenock, Helensburgh and Vale of Leven. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Which bathroom layout changes cost the most?

Moving the WC is usually the costliest single change, because it connects to the soil stack through a 110 mm waste that needs a steady fall. Forming a level-access shower floor and moving a door or wall also add significant cost. Moving a basin a short distance, or swapping a bath for a shower in the same space, costs much less.
