What does a new bathroom design cost in Ilford?
Design comes with the job: the survey, layout and itemised quote are free. In Ilford, a complete designed, supplied and fitted bathroom typically costs £8,100–£15,000 including VAT. Prices in London run at about 25% 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 Ilford
We work right across Ilford — E18, IG1, IG2 and 5 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Barking and Becontree.
In Ilford, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If your Ilford 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 Ilford homes, the design checks head height where you stand, not just the floor area.
Most of Greater London 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
- 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
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.
