What does a new bathroom design cost in Birmingham?
Design comes with the job: the survey, layout and itemised quote are free. In Birmingham, a complete designed, supplied and fitted bathroom typically costs £6,400–£11,750 including VAT. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Birmingham
In Birmingham we cover B1, B2, B3 and 39 more postcode districts; we also cover Smethwick, 2.9 miles away, and West Bromwich.
In a city the size of Birmingham, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If your Birmingham 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 Birmingham covers drainage, supplies, electrics and ventilation, so nothing on the drawing is guesswork.
Water hardness varies across the West Midlands: some supplies are soft, others moderately hard or hard. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. 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
- Checks on the soil stack, waste routes, joist direction, water pressure, hot water system and existing electrics
- A written, itemised quote, with the price fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed
- Layout options drawn to scale, showing the bath or shower, WC, basin, storage and towel rail
Decisions to make first
Storage
Fitted furniture, a vanity with a tall cupboard, or recessed niches and a mirror cabinet. Recessed storage costs no floor space but needs a stud wall or deep boxing to sit in.
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.
