In a city the size of Brighton, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. Fit-only work in Brighton is quoted the same way as supply and fit: an itemised written quote after a survey of the room. Landlords with flats or houses in Brighton can supply their own standard suites and have them fitted between tenancies.

Water across much of East Sussex 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

Electrical work by a qualified electrician where lights, a fan or a shaver socket are changing
Fitting the suite, furniture, screen and accessories, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
A survey of the room, the supplies and drainage, and the products you plan to use
A check of your product list against the room and the plumbing before the job is booked

Decisions to make first

Same layout or new

Keeping the layout keeps labour in the £2,200 to £4,000 range; moving the WC, shower or basin adds pipework and days.

Making good

Decide whether you want the quote to cover making good and decorating, or to stop at the tiles so you can paint yourself.

Rules that apply in England

In England, the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 apply to the products you supply as well as to the installation. Electrical changes such as new lights or a fan are notifiable under Part P and are done by a registered electrician or notified to building control. New drainage or a new connection to the soil stack can be Part H work.

More about bathroom fitting

Bathroom fitting in Brighton: questions

How much should I budget for bathroom fitting in Brighton?

Bathroom fitting in Brighton usually costs £2,500–£6,700 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Do you cover BN1 in Brighton?

Yes. We cover all of Brighton, including BN1, BN2, BN3 and BN41, and nearby Shoreham-by-Sea, Peacehaven and Lewes. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Brighton?

Who handles building control for bathroom fitting in Brighton?

Building control for Brighton is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Will you fit a bathroom suite I bought online?

Yes. Send us the product list or links before the survey, and we will check sizes, wastes, valves and the cistern type against your room and plumbing. Missing or mismatched parts cause most fit-only delays, and they are far easier to sort before the start date than halfway through.
