What does a small bathroom cost in Cambridge?
As a guide, budget £4,800 to £9,000 including VAT for a small bathroom in Cambridge; your written quote will pin it down. We adjust the national guide for East of England, where prices are typically about 6% above the UK average. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Cambridge
We work right across Cambridge — CB1, CB2 and CB4 — and in neighbouring Royston and St Ives.
Cambridge is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If your Cambridge bathroom is a box room over the stairs, the first job is finding out where the soil stack lets the WC sit. If the door of your Cambridge bathroom opens inwards and catches the basin, re-hanging it or fitting a sliding door is often part of the plan.
Most of Cambridgeshire has very hard water. 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
- Shorter, narrower or shower baths where a full 1700 mm bath does not sit well
- Space-saving sanitaryware: a short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact or semi-recessed basin
- Two or three layout options, each priced, so you can compare keeping the bath with a walk-in shower
- A measured survey including the door swing, window position, soil stack and any boxing that could be slimmed down
Decisions to make first
WC type
A short-projection close-coupled WC sits closer to the wall than a standard pan. A wall-hung WC on a concealed frame shows the floor beneath it and is easier to clean around.
Storage
Recess shelves into stud walls or boxing, put a mirror cabinet over the basin and use the wall above the WC. Avoid floor-standing units in very tight rooms.
Rules that apply in England
In England, changes to the wiring in a room with a bath or shower are notifiable under Part P, so use an electrician registered with a competent person scheme. If you replace the extractor fan, do not fit one that extracts less than the old one; Approved Document F gives 15 litres per second for an intermittent bathroom fan.
