What does a new bathroom design cost in Forfar?
Design comes with the job: the survey, layout and itemised quote are free. In Forfar, 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 Forfar
We work right across Forfar — DD8 — and in neighbouring Carnoustie and Dundee.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Forfar: free survey, written quote, one team. If you are in Forfar and weighing a bath against a walk-in shower, the layout options show both with their prices. If your Forfar 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 Dundee and Angus 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
- Layout options drawn to scale, showing the bath or shower, WC, basin, storage and towel rail
- Checks on the soil stack, waste routes, joist direction, water pressure, hot water system and existing electrics
- Elevations and tile layouts on a design, supply and fit project, so the setting-out is agreed before tiling starts
- A product list covering the suite, brassware, furniture, tiles, lighting and ventilation
Decisions to make first
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.
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 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.
