What does a new bathroom design cost in Perth?

Design comes with the job: the survey, layout and itemised quote are free. In Perth, a complete designed, supplied and fitted bathroom typically costs £6,200–£11,500 including VAT. Labour costs in Scotland put local prices at about 4% below the UK guide figure. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Perth

We work right across Perth — PH1 and PH2 — and in neighbouring Auchterarder and Blairgowrie and Rattray.

In a city the size of Perth, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. A design survey in Perth covers drainage, supplies, electrics and ventilation, so nothing on the drawing is guesswork. If your Perth bathroom has a soil stack in an awkward corner, the design starts there, because it is the one point that is costly to move.

Most of Perth and Kinross 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

Elevations and tile layouts on a design, supply and fit project, so the setting-out is agreed before tiling starts
Layout options drawn to scale, showing the bath or shower, WC, basin, storage and towel rail
Checks on the soil stack, waste routes, joist direction, water pressure, hot water system and existing electrics
A product list covering the suite, brassware, furniture, tiles, lighting and ventilation

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.

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 Scotland

In Scotland, a straight refit rarely needs a building warrant, but forming a new bathroom, altering drainage or structural work may. The Technical Handbook uses 15 l/s extract for a bathroom, and the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014 cover new water fittings.

Bathroom design in Perth: questions

Do you charge for bathroom design in Perth?

Not separately. The home survey, layout options and itemised written quote are free, and the detailed design is part of a supply-and-fit job. A complete designed, supplied and fitted bathroom in Perth typically costs £6,200–£11,500 including VAT.

Do you cover PH1 and PH2 in Perth?

Yes. We cover all of Perth, including PH1 and PH2, and nearby Auchterarder, Blairgowrie and Rattray and Crieff. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Perth?

Will a new bathroom design in Perth need a building warrant?

Usually not for a straight refit. Building warrants are issued by the local council's building standards service, and forming a new bathroom, changing drainage or structural work can need one. We tell you at the survey and handle the application if one is needed.

What does a bathroom designer do?

A bathroom designer works out the layout, products and finishes that suit your room and budget, within the limits set by the drainage, water supply, structure and electrics. The result is a drawing and a product list that the fitters build from, so the price can be fixed before anything is ordered.
