What does a cloakroom or downstairs WC cost in Epsom?
As a guide, budget £2,000 to £5,000 including VAT for a cloakroom or downstairs WC in Epsom; your written quote will pin it down. Labour costs in South East England put local prices at about 12% above the UK guide figure. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.
Refit
- Splashback tiling, new floor
Upgrade
- Wall-hung WC with concealed frame
New cloakroom
- New waste or macerator

Working in Epsom
We cover every part of Epsom, including KT17 and KT19, and nearby Ewell (1.6 miles) and Banstead (2.8 miles).
Homes in and around Epsom vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Epsom cloakroom has no window, we size and duct the extractor fan so the room clears properly. Where your Epsom home already has a WC on gravity drainage, a macerator opens up more places a new cloakroom can go.
Water across much of Surrey is hard. Taps, plug wastes and toilet pans scale up quickly, so chrome copes better than matt black, and a removable aerator is worth having. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A concealed cistern frame or WC unit where the space allows
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, wired with an overrun timer or linked to the light
- Lighting wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- Splashback or feature tiling and a new floor, often LVT or porcelain
Decisions to make first
Under-stair layout
Headroom drops quickly under stairs. The basin and the space in front of the WC need standing height; the low end of the room can take the cistern or storage.
Finishes
A small room can carry a bolder tile or wallpaper. A feature wall behind the WC costs far less here than in a full bathroom because there is so little of it.
Rules that apply in England
In England, a new WC connected to the soil stack or drain is drainage work under Part H, and a newly formed cloakroom without an opening window should have mechanical extract; Approved Document F gives 6 litres per second as the design rate for a WC, against 15 for a bathroom. Because a cloakroom has no bath or shower, adding a light to an existing circuit is not notifiable under Part P, but a new circuit is.
