What does a new bathroom design cost in Portslade?
Design comes with the job: the survey, layout and itemised quote are free. In Portslade, a complete designed, supplied and fitted bathroom typically costs £7,300–£13,500 including VAT. We adjust the national guide for South East England, where prices are typically about 12% above the UK average. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Portslade
We work right across Portslade — BN3, BN41 and BN42 — and in neighbouring Hove and Shoreham-by-Sea.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Portslade: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Portslade 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 Portslade homes, the design checks head height where you stand, not just the floor area.
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 product list covering the suite, brassware, furniture, tiles, lighting and ventilation
- A written, itemised quote, with the price fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed
- Layout options drawn to scale, showing the bath or shower, WC, basin, storage and towel rail
- A clear view of which changes are cheap and which mean moving drainage or opening floors
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.
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.
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.
