What does a new bathroom design cost in Tunbridge Wells?
Design comes with the job: the survey, layout and itemised quote are free. In Tunbridge Wells, 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 Tunbridge Wells
As well as Tunbridge Wells itself (TN1, TN3 and TN4), we survey in Tonbridge, Crowborough and Sevenoaks.
In Tunbridge Wells, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For loft rooms and sloping ceilings in Tunbridge Wells homes, the design checks head height where you stand, not just the floor area. A design survey in Tunbridge Wells 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 clear view of which changes are cheap and which mean moving drainage or opening floors
- Elevations and tile layouts on a design, supply and fit project, so the setting-out is agreed before tiling starts
- A measured survey of the room, including ceiling heights, slopes, window and door positions and any boxing
- A product list covering the suite, brassware, furniture, tiles, lighting and ventilation
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.
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.
