What does a new bathroom design cost in Cambridge?
Design comes with the job: the survey, layout and itemised quote are free. In Cambridge, a complete designed, supplied and fitted bathroom typically costs £6,900–£12,750 including VAT. Prices in East of England run at about 6% above 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 Cambridge
We work right across Cambridge — CB1, CB2 and CB4 — and in neighbouring Royston and St Ives.
Cambridge is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. We measure Cambridge bathrooms on site before drawing anything, so layouts are based on your walls rather than a standard plan. For loft rooms and sloping ceilings in Cambridge homes, the design checks head height where you stand, not just the floor area.
Most of Cambridgeshire has very hard water. 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 conversation about who uses the room, when, and what does not work about the current one
- A lighting and electrical plan showing switches, fittings, shaver socket and extractor fan
- A written, itemised quote, with the price fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed
- A product list covering the suite, brassware, furniture, tiles, lighting and ventilation
Decisions to make first
Tile setting-out
Centring tiles on the window, basin or niche avoids thin slivers at the edges. Large tiles mean fewer joints but need flatter walls.
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 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.
