What does a new bathroom design cost in March?

Design comes with the job: the survey, layout and itemised quote are free. In March, a complete designed, supplied and fitted bathroom typically costs £6,900–£12,750 including VAT. Labour costs in East of England put local prices at about 6% above the UK guide figure. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in March

We work right across March — PE15 — and in neighbouring Wisbech and Ely.

March gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. A design survey in March covers drainage, supplies, electrics and ventilation, so nothing on the drawing is guesswork. If you are in March and weighing a bath against a walk-in shower, the layout options show both with their prices.

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 measured survey of the room, including ceiling heights, slopes, window and door positions and any boxing
Checks on the soil stack, waste routes, joist direction, water pressure, hot water system and existing electrics
Layout options drawn to scale, showing the bath or shower, WC, basin, storage and towel rail
A lighting and electrical plan showing switches, fittings, shaver socket and extractor fan

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.

More about bathroom design

Bathroom design in March: questions

Do you charge for bathroom design in March?

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 March typically costs £6,900–£12,750 including VAT.

Do you cover PE15 in March?

Yes. We cover all of March, including PE15, and nearby Wisbech, Ely and Peterborough. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in March?

Who handles building control for a new bathroom design in March?

Building control for March is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Can you design a bathroom around products I have already chosen?

Yes. Tell us the products at the survey and we will check they fit the room, the water pressure and the drainage before drawing the layout around them. If something will not work, such as a shower valve that needs more pressure than your system gives, we say so before you buy anything else.
