What does a new bathroom design cost in Letchworth Garden City?
Design comes with the job: the survey, layout and itemised quote are free. In Letchworth Garden City, 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 Letchworth Garden City
As well as Letchworth Garden City itself (SG5, SG6 and SG15), we survey in Hitchin, Stevenage and Biggleswade.
In Letchworth Garden City, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Letchworth Garden City 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 Letchworth Garden City homes, the design checks head height where you stand, not just the floor area.
Supplies across most of Hertfordshire 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 written, itemised quote, with the price fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed
- A lighting and electrical plan showing switches, fittings, shaver socket and extractor fan
- A clear view of which changes are cheap and which mean moving drainage or opening floors
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.
Where the shower goes
A shower on an outside wall is easier to ventilate; one under a sloping ceiling needs full head height where you stand, not just at the high side.
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.
