What does a cloakroom or downstairs WC cost in Reigate?
As a guide, budget £2,000 to £5,000 including VAT for a cloakroom or downstairs WC in Reigate; 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 Reigate
We cover every part of Reigate, including RH1, RH2 and RH3, and nearby Redhill (1.5 miles) and Horley (4.8 miles).
Reigate gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Where your Reigate home already has a WC on gravity drainage, a macerator opens up more places a new cloakroom can go. We survey cloakrooms in Reigate with the headroom in mind as well as the floor area, because under-stair spaces lose height quickly.
Supplies across most of Surrey are 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
- Strip-out of the old fittings, waste removal and making good on the hall side
- Compact sanitaryware: a short-projection, back-to-wall or wall-hung WC and a corner, wall-hung or slim vanity basin
- Lighting wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- A survey that checks the headroom under the stairs, the door swing and how the waste will reach the drain
Decisions to make first
Macerator or gravity
Gravity drainage is silent and needs no maintenance. A macerator lets a WC go where a pipe could not otherwise fall, provided another WC in the house is on gravity drainage.
Door
An outward-opening door is usually needed so it does not hit the WC. A sliding door suits a narrow hallway where an outward door would block the way.
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.
