What does a new bathroom design cost in Reading?
Design comes with the job: the survey, layout and itemised quote are free. In Reading, a complete designed, supplied and fitted bathroom typically costs £7,300–£13,500 including VAT. We adjust the national guide for South East England, where prices are typically about 12% above the UK average. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Reading
We work right across Reading — RG1, RG2, RG4 and 2 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Lower Earley and Wokingham.
In a city the size of Reading, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. Whether you are in Reading or elsewhere in Berkshire, layout options come with an itemised written quote. If your Reading 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 Berkshire are hard. We plan easy-clean glass, rimless toilets and finishes that do not show limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- 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
- Elevations and tile layouts on a design, supply and fit project, so the setting-out is agreed before tiling starts
- Layout options drawn to scale, showing the bath or shower, WC, basin, storage and towel rail
Decisions to make first
Where the shower goes
A shower on an outside wall is easier to ventilate; one under a sloping ceiling needs full head height where you stand, not just at the high side.
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.
Rules that apply in England
In England, a new connection to the soil stack or new drainage can be building regulations work under Part H, and new circuits or alterations to circuits in the bathroom are notifiable under Part P. Where a new bathroom is formed, Approved Document F asks for extract at 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous.
