What does a new bathroom design cost in Hove?

Design comes with the job: the survey, layout and itemised quote are free. In Hove, a complete designed, supplied and fitted bathroom typically costs £7,300–£13,500 including VAT. Prices in South East England run at about 12% above the national guide, mainly because of labour rates. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Hove

In Hove we cover BN1, BN3 and BN41; we also cover Brighton, 1.2 miles away, and Portslade.

Hove has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. Whether you are in Hove or elsewhere in East Sussex, layout options come with an itemised written quote. A design survey in Hove covers drainage, supplies, electrics and ventilation, so nothing on the drawing is guesswork.

Supplies across most of East Sussex are hard. We plan easy-clean glass, rimless toilets and finishes that do not show limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A conversation about who uses the room, when, and what does not work about the current one
A clear view of which changes are cheap and which mean moving drainage or opening floors
A measured survey of the room, including ceiling heights, slopes, window and door positions and any boxing
Layout options drawn to scale, showing the bath or shower, WC, basin, storage and towel rail

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.

Where the shower goes

A shower on an outside wall is easier to ventilate; one under a sloping ceiling needs full head height where you stand, not just at the high side.

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.

Is the water hard in Hove?

What happens at a bathroom design survey?

At the survey we measure and photograph the room and check the soil stack, waste routes, joists, water pressure, hot water system, electrics and ventilation. We also ask how the room is used and what you want to change. Everything that limits the layout is found at this stage, so the options we draw can actually be built.
