The difference between an expensive bathroom and a luxury one is usually in the details you never see. A freestanding bath needs its waste and filler planned into the floor before the tiles go down. A concealed shower valve has to sit at exactly the right depth in the wall for its trim to finish flush. Large tiles need flat walls and a setting-out plan that puts the cuts where nobody looks. Get those wrong and the finish shows it.
We plan luxury bathrooms with drawings, a tile layout and a full product schedule, then check the structure and services the design depends on: whether the floor can take a stone bath, whether your hot water can feed a large shower head, and where the circuits for heating, lighting and any steam unit will run. Most luxury bathrooms we price fall between £12,000 and £25,000 supplied and fitted, including VAT.
What does a luxury bathroom with us include?
- A detailed survey of the floor structure, hot-water capacity, water pressure and flow
- Layout drawings, wall elevations and a tile setting-out plan
- A full product schedule naming every piece of sanitaryware, brassware, tile and light fitting
- Floor strengthening where a stone-resin, cast-iron or natural stone bath needs it
- Concealed thermostatic or digital shower valves, set into the wall to the depth the manufacturer specifies
- Underfloor heating, layered lighting and any steam unit wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- Large-format porcelain, natural stone or microcement over full tanking
- Bespoke fitted furniture, mitred tile edges and recessed niches
- A full snag check, sealing of stone where needed, and a handover of manuals and isolation points

What do you need to decide?
Freestanding bath material
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch. Stone resin holds heat and feels solid but is much heavier. Cast iron is the heaviest of all and nearly always needs a structural check.
Shower system
A concealed thermostatic valve with a ceiling head and handset is the usual choice. A digital valve sets the temperature from a wall panel, and a steam enclosure needs its own generator and supply.
Wall and floor finish
Large-format porcelain gives a stone look with little upkeep. Natural stone and microcement are beautiful but need sealing and care, especially in hard-water areas.
Brassware finish
Chrome is the easiest to keep clean. Brushed brass, nickel and matt black look striking but show limescale marks unless they are wiped down.
Lighting
Layer it: IP-rated ceiling lights for general use, a lit mirror at the basin and low-level LED in niches or plinths for night, each on its own switch or dimmer.
Heating
Underfloor heating under stone or porcelain makes the room comfortable all year; pair it with a towel rail for drying.
