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

Working in Penrith
We work right across Penrith — CA11 — and in neighbouring Carlisle and Kendal.
Penrith gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For loft rooms and sloping ceilings in Penrith homes, the design checks head height where you stand, not just the floor area. If you are in Penrith and weighing a bath against a walk-in shower, the layout options show both with their prices.
Water across much of Cumbria is soft. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A written, itemised quote, with the price fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed
- Checks on the soil stack, waste routes, joist direction, water pressure, hot water system and existing electrics
- A conversation about who uses the room, when, and what does not work about the current one
- Layout options drawn to scale, showing the bath or shower, WC, basin, storage and towel rail
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.
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.
