What does a new bathroom design cost in Stranraer?
Design comes with the job: the survey, layout and itemised quote are free. In Stranraer, a complete designed, supplied and fitted bathroom typically costs £6,200–£11,500 including VAT. Labour costs in Scotland put local prices at about 4% below the UK guide figure. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Stranraer
We cover every part of Stranraer, including DG9, and nearby Dumfries (57.3 miles) and Locharbriggs (58.8 miles).
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Stranraer: free survey, written quote, one team. If you are in Stranraer and weighing a bath against a walk-in shower, the layout options show both with their prices. If your Stranraer bathroom has a soil stack in an awkward corner, the design starts there, because it is the one point that is costly to move.
Water across much of Dumfries and Galloway 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
- 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 conversation about who uses the room, when, and what does not work about the current one
- A measured survey of the room, including ceiling heights, slopes, window and door positions and any boxing
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.
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 Scotland
In Scotland, a straight refit rarely needs a building warrant, but forming a new bathroom, altering drainage or structural work may. The Technical Handbook uses 15 l/s extract for a bathroom, and the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014 cover new water fittings.
