What does a new bathroom design cost in Wigan?
Design comes with the job: the survey, layout and itemised quote are free. In Wigan, 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.

Working in Wigan
We cover every part of Wigan, including WN1, WN3 and WN5, and nearby Westhoughton (4.6 miles) and Golborne (4.9 miles).
Across a large town like Wigan, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. A design survey in Wigan covers drainage, supplies, electrics and ventilation, so nothing on the drawing is guesswork. For loft rooms and sloping ceilings in Wigan homes, the design checks head height where you stand, not just the floor area.
Most of Greater Manchester is supplied with soft water. 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 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
- 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
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
