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

Working in Chatham
We work right across Chatham — ME1, ME4 and ME7 — and in neighbouring Rochester and Gillingham.
Chatham has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. We measure Chatham bathrooms on site before drawing anything, so layouts are based on your walls rather than a standard plan. Whether you are in Chatham or elsewhere in Kent, layout options come with an itemised written quote.
Supplies across most of Kent 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
- A measured survey of the room, including ceiling heights, slopes, window and door positions and any boxing
- A conversation about who uses the room, when, and what does not work about the current one
- 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
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
