What does a new bathroom design cost in Blackpool?
Design comes with the job: the survey, layout and itemised quote are free. In Blackpool, a complete designed, supplied and fitted bathroom typically costs £6,100–£11,250 including VAT. Prices in North West England run at about 6% below 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 Blackpool
In Blackpool we cover FY1, FY2, FY3 and 1 more postcode districts; we also cover Poulton-le-Fylde, 3 miles away, and Thornton-Cleveleys.
Across a large town like Blackpool, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. A design survey in Blackpool covers drainage, supplies, electrics and ventilation, so nothing on the drawing is guesswork. If you are in Blackpool and weighing a bath against a walk-in shower, the layout options show both with their prices.
Most of Lancashire is supplied with soft water. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about 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 clear view of which changes are cheap and which mean moving drainage or opening floors
- A lighting and electrical plan showing switches, fittings, shaver socket and extractor fan
- Checks on the soil stack, waste routes, joist direction, water pressure, hot water system and existing electrics
Decisions to make first
The door
Re-hanging the door on the other side, fitting a sliding pocket door or moving the opening can free up a whole wall in a small room.
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.
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.
