What does a new bathroom design cost in Chester?
Design comes with the job: the survey, layout and itemised quote are free. In Chester, a complete designed, supplied and fitted bathroom typically costs £6,100–£11,250 including VAT. We adjust the national guide for North West England, where prices are typically about 6% below the UK average. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Chester
In Chester we cover CH1; we also cover Ellesmere Port, 6.1 miles away, and Garston.
Chester is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If your Chester bathroom has a soil stack in an awkward corner, the design starts there, because it is the one point that is costly to move. A design survey in Chester covers drainage, supplies, electrics and ventilation, so nothing on the drawing is guesswork.
Water across much of Cheshire is moderately hard. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- 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
- 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
Decisions to make first
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.
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 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.
