What does a new bathroom design cost in Derby?
Design comes with the job: the survey, layout and itemised quote are free. In Derby, a complete designed, supplied and fitted bathroom typically costs £6,200–£11,500 including VAT. We adjust the national guide for East Midlands, where prices are typically about 4% below the UK average. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Derby
As well as Derby itself (DE1, DE21, DE22 and 2 more postcode districts), we survey in Belper, Ilkeston and Heanor.
In a city the size of Derby, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If your Derby bathroom has a soil stack in an awkward corner, the design starts there, because it is the one point that is costly to move. For loft rooms and sloping ceilings in Derby homes, the design checks head height where you stand, not just the floor area.
Supplies across most of Derbyshire 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
- A written, itemised quote, with the price fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed
- 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
- Checks on the soil stack, waste routes, joist direction, water pressure, hot water system and existing electrics
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
