What does a new bathroom design cost in Chelmsford?
Design comes with the job: the survey, layout and itemised quote are free. In Chelmsford, 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 Chelmsford
As well as Chelmsford itself (CM1), we survey in Billericay, Witham and Maldon.
Chelmsford is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. Whether you are in Chelmsford or elsewhere in Essex, layout options come with an itemised written quote. If your Chelmsford bathroom has a soil stack in an awkward corner, the design starts there, because it is the one point that is costly to move.
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
- 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
- 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
Decisions to make first
Keep or change the layout
Keeping the WC and shower where they are saves on plumbing. The WC is the costly one to move, because it is tied to the soil stack.
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.
