What does a new bathroom design cost in Atherton?
Design comes with the job: the survey, layout and itemised quote are free. In Atherton, a complete designed, supplied and fitted bathroom typically costs £6,100–£11,250 including VAT. Prices in North West England run at about 6% below 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.
Survey and layout
- Written, itemised quote
Detailed design
- Elevations and tile layouts
Full project
- One contract and one team

Working in Atherton
As well as Atherton itself (BL5, M29 and M46), we survey in Tyldesley, Westhoughton and Leigh.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Atherton: free survey, written quote, one team. Whether you are in Atherton or elsewhere in Greater Manchester, layout options come with an itemised written quote. A design survey in Atherton covers drainage, supplies, electrics and ventilation, so nothing on the drawing is guesswork.
Water across much of Greater Manchester is soft. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about 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
- 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
- Layout options drawn to scale, showing the bath or shower, WC, basin, storage and towel rail
Decisions to make first
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.
Storage
Fitted furniture, a vanity with a tall cupboard, or recessed niches and a mirror cabinet. Recessed storage costs no floor space but needs a stud wall or deep boxing to sit in.
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.
