What does a new bathroom design cost in Braintree?
Design comes with the job: the survey, layout and itemised quote are free. In Braintree, a complete designed, supplied and fitted bathroom typically costs £6,900–£12,750 including VAT. Prices in East of England run at about 6% 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 Braintree
We work right across Braintree — CM7 and CM77 — and in neighbouring Witham and Chelmsford.
Homes in and around Braintree vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We measure Braintree bathrooms on site before drawing anything, so layouts are based on your walls rather than a standard plan. A design survey in Braintree covers drainage, supplies, electrics and ventilation, so nothing on the drawing is guesswork.
Supplies across most of Essex are very 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
- 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
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.
The door
Re-hanging the door on the other side, fitting a sliding pocket door or moving the opening can free up a whole wall in a small room.
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.
