What does a new bathroom design cost in Preston?
Design comes with the job: the survey, layout and itemised quote are free. In Preston, 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 Preston
In Preston we cover PR1 and PR2; we also cover Blackburn, 9.1 miles away, and Darwen.
In a city the size of Preston, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. We measure Preston bathrooms on site before drawing anything, so layouts are based on your walls rather than a standard plan. Whether you are in Preston or elsewhere in Lancashire, layout options come with an itemised written quote.
Water across much of Lancashire is soft. 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
- A written, itemised quote, with the price fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed
- A measured survey of the room, including ceiling heights, slopes, window and door positions and any boxing
- 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
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.
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.
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.
