What does a new bathroom design cost in Sevenoaks?

Design comes with the job: the survey, layout and itemised quote are free. In Sevenoaks, a complete designed, supplied and fitted bathroom typically costs £7,300–£13,500 including VAT. Prices in South East England run at about 12% 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 Sevenoaks

In Sevenoaks we cover TN13; we also cover Tonbridge, 6.5 miles away, and Swanley.

Homes in and around Sevenoaks vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For loft rooms and sloping ceilings in Sevenoaks homes, the design checks head height where you stand, not just the floor area. We measure Sevenoaks bathrooms on site before drawing anything, so layouts are based on your walls rather than a standard plan.

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

Layout options drawn to scale, showing the bath or shower, WC, basin, storage and towel rail
A lighting and electrical plan showing switches, fittings, shaver socket and extractor fan
A product list covering the suite, brassware, furniture, tiles, lighting and ventilation
Elevations and tile layouts on a design, supply and fit project, so the setting-out is agreed before tiling starts

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.

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.

Who handles building control for a new bathroom design in Sevenoaks?

Building control for Sevenoaks is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

How long does a new bathroom design take?

Allow survey visit plus design on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Sevenoaks.

What happens at a bathroom design survey?

At the survey we measure and photograph the room and check the soil stack, waste routes, joists, water pressure, hot water system, electrics and ventilation. We also ask how the room is used and what you want to change. Everything that limits the layout is found at this stage, so the options we draw can actually be built.
