What does a new bathroom design cost in Sunderland?
Design comes with the job: the survey, layout and itemised quote are free. In Sunderland, a complete designed, supplied and fitted bathroom typically costs £5,800–£10,750 including VAT. Prices in North East England run at about 10% 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 Sunderland
We cover every part of Sunderland, including SR1, SR2, SR6 and 1 more postcode districts, and nearby Seaham (4.8 miles) and Washington (5.4 miles).
Sunderland is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If your Sunderland bathroom has a soil stack in an awkward corner, the design starts there, because it is the one point that is costly to move. For loft rooms and sloping ceilings in Sunderland homes, the design checks head height where you stand, not just the floor area.
Most of Tyne and Wear 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
- Checks on the soil stack, waste routes, joist direction, water pressure, hot water system and existing electrics
- A lighting and electrical plan showing switches, fittings, shaver socket and extractor fan
- A clear view of which changes are cheap and which mean moving drainage or opening floors
- Elevations and tile layouts on a design, supply and fit project, so the setting-out is agreed before tiling starts
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 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.
