What does a new bathroom design cost in Rochester?
Design comes with the job: the survey, layout and itemised quote are free. In Rochester, 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 Rochester
We cover every part of Rochester, including ME1, ME4 and ME5, and nearby Chatham (1.1 miles) and Strood (1.3 miles).
In Rochester, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are in Rochester and weighing a bath against a walk-in shower, the layout options show both with their prices. A design survey in Rochester covers drainage, supplies, electrics and ventilation, so nothing on the drawing is guesswork.
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 measured survey of the room, including ceiling heights, slopes, window and door positions and any boxing
- 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 product list covering the suite, brassware, furniture, tiles, lighting and ventilation
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
