What does a new bathroom design cost in Leicester?
Design comes with the job: the survey, layout and itemised quote are free. In Leicester, a complete designed, supplied and fitted bathroom typically costs £6,200–£11,500 including VAT. Prices in East Midlands run at about 4% 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 Leicester
In Leicester we cover LE1, LE3, LE4 and 1 more postcode districts; we also cover Wigston Magna, 4.3 miles away, and Earl Shilton.
In a city the size of Leicester, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If your Leicester bathroom has a soil stack in an awkward corner, the design starts there, because it is the one point that is costly to move. A design survey in Leicester covers drainage, supplies, electrics and ventilation, so nothing on the drawing is guesswork.
Water across much of Leicestershire is 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 written, itemised quote, with the price fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed
- Checks on the soil stack, waste routes, joist direction, water pressure, hot water system and existing electrics
- Layout options drawn to scale, showing the bath or shower, WC, basin, storage and towel rail
- 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.
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.
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.
