What does a new bathroom design cost in Tynemouth?
Design comes with the job: the survey, layout and itemised quote are free. In Tynemouth, 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 Tynemouth
In Tynemouth we cover NE29, NE30 and NE33; we also cover North Shields, 0.9 miles away, and South Shields.
Homes in and around Tynemouth vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For loft rooms and sloping ceilings in Tynemouth homes, the design checks head height where you stand, not just the floor area. A design survey in Tynemouth covers drainage, supplies, electrics and ventilation, so nothing on the drawing is guesswork.
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
- A conversation about who uses the room, when, and what does not work about the current one
- A written, itemised quote, with the price fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed
- Elevations and tile layouts on a design, supply and fit project, so the setting-out is agreed before tiling starts
- Checks on the soil stack, waste routes, joist direction, water pressure, hot water system and existing electrics
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.
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.
