What does a new bathroom design cost in Durham?
Design comes with the job: the survey, layout and itemised quote are free. In Durham, a complete designed, supplied and fitted bathroom typically costs £5,800–£10,750 including VAT. Labour costs in North East England put local prices at about 10% below the UK guide figure. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Durham
We cover every part of Durham, including DH1, and nearby Spennymoor (5.5 miles) and Chester-le-Street (5.7 miles).
Durham is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. Whether you are in Durham or elsewhere in County Durham, layout options come with an itemised written quote. We measure Durham bathrooms on site before drawing anything, so layouts are based on your walls rather than a standard plan.
Supplies across most of County Durham are 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
- Elevations and tile layouts on a design, supply and fit project, so the setting-out is agreed before tiling starts
- Checks on the soil stack, waste routes, joist direction, water pressure, hot water system and existing electrics
- 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
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.
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.
