What does a new bathroom design cost in Cowley?
Design comes with the job: the survey, layout and itemised quote are free. In Cowley, 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.
Survey and layout

Working in Cowley
As well as Cowley itself (OX1, OX3 and OX4), we survey in Oxford, Abingdon and Didcot.
Cowley gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Whether you are in Cowley or elsewhere in Oxfordshire, layout options come with an itemised written quote. For loft rooms and sloping ceilings in Cowley homes, the design checks head height where you stand, not just the floor area.
Water across much of Oxfordshire 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
- Elevations and tile layouts on a design, supply and fit project, so the setting-out is agreed before tiling starts
- A written, itemised quote, with the price fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed
- A conversation about who uses the room, when, and what does not work about the current one
- A lighting and electrical plan showing switches, fittings, shaver socket and extractor fan
Decisions to make first
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.
Where the shower goes
A shower on an outside wall is easier to ventilate; one under a sloping ceiling needs full head height where you stand, not just at the high side.
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.
