What does a new bathroom design cost in Inverness?
Design comes with the job: the survey, layout and itemised quote are free. In Inverness, a complete designed, supplied and fitted bathroom typically costs £6,200–£11,500 including VAT. We adjust the national guide for Scotland, where prices are typically about 4% below the UK average. Travel and delivery to islands and remote areas are priced on your quote. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Inverness
We cover all of Inverness, including IV1 and IV3, and nearby Nairn and Fort William.
Inverness is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. A design survey in Inverness covers drainage, supplies, electrics and ventilation, so nothing on the drawing is guesswork. For loft rooms and sloping ceilings in Inverness homes, the design checks head height where you stand, not just the floor area.
Most of the Highlands and Islands 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 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
- Checks on the soil stack, waste routes, joist direction, water pressure, hot water system and existing electrics
- Elevations and tile layouts on a design, supply and fit project, so the setting-out is agreed before tiling starts
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 Scotland
In Scotland, a straight refit rarely needs a building warrant, but forming a new bathroom, altering drainage or structural work may. The Technical Handbook uses 15 l/s extract for a bathroom, and the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014 cover new water fittings.
