What does a new bathroom design cost in Grays?
Design comes with the job: the survey, layout and itemised quote are free. In Grays, a complete designed, supplied and fitted bathroom typically costs £6,900–£12,750 including VAT. We adjust the national guide for East of England, where prices are typically about 6% above the UK average. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Grays
In Grays we cover RM16, RM17 and RM20; we also cover Swanscombe, 2.1 miles away, and South Ockendon.
Across a large town like Grays, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. We measure Grays bathrooms on site before drawing anything, so layouts are based on your walls rather than a standard plan. A design survey in Grays covers drainage, supplies, electrics and ventilation, so nothing on the drawing is guesswork.
Most of Essex has very hard water. 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 measured survey of the room, including ceiling heights, slopes, window and door positions and any boxing
- A conversation about who uses the room, when, and what does not work about the current one
- Elevations and tile layouts on a design, supply and fit project, so the setting-out is agreed before tiling starts
- A written, itemised quote, with the price fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed
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.
