What does a new bathroom design cost in Canterbury?
Design comes with the job: the survey, layout and itemised quote are free. In Canterbury, a complete designed, supplied and fitted bathroom typically costs £7,300–£13,500 including VAT. We adjust the national guide for South East England, where prices are typically about 12% above the UK average. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Canterbury
As well as Canterbury itself (CT1, CT2, CT5 and 1 more postcode districts), we survey in Whitstable, Herne Bay and Faversham.
Canterbury is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If you are in Canterbury and weighing a bath against a walk-in shower, the layout options show both with their prices. If your Canterbury bathroom has a soil stack in an awkward corner, the design starts there, because it is the one point that is costly to move.
Water across much of Kent is 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
- A written, itemised quote, with the price fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed
- Elevations and tile layouts on a design, supply and fit project, so the setting-out is agreed before tiling starts
- A conversation about who uses the room, when, and what does not work about the current one
- A measured survey of the room, including ceiling heights, slopes, window and door positions and any boxing
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
