What does a new bathroom design cost in Chester-le-Street?
Design comes with the job: the survey, layout and itemised quote are free. In Chester-le-Street, a complete designed, supplied and fitted bathroom typically costs £5,800–£10,750 including VAT. Prices in North East England run at about 10% below 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 Chester-le-Street
As well as Chester-le-Street itself (DH2), we survey in Washington, Houghton-Le-Spring and Stanley.
Homes in and around Chester-le-Street vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. A design survey in Chester-le-Street covers drainage, supplies, electrics and ventilation, so nothing on the drawing is guesswork. If you are in Chester-le-Street and weighing a bath against a walk-in shower, the layout options show both with their prices.
Most of County Durham has moderately hard water. 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 clear view of which changes are cheap and which mean moving drainage or opening floors
- A product list covering the suite, brassware, furniture, tiles, lighting and ventilation
- Checks on the soil stack, waste routes, joist direction, water pressure, hot water system and existing electrics
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
