What does a small bathroom cost in Chelsea?
In Chelsea, a small bathroom typically costs £5,600–£10,500 including VAT, based on London prices. Labour costs in London put local prices at about 25% above the UK guide figure. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.
Essential

Working in Chelsea
As well as Chelsea itself (SW3, SW7 and SW10), we survey in Battersea, Fulham and Shepherds Bush.
In Chelsea, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If nobody in your Chelsea home has used the bath in years, we can price a walk-in shower layout next to a shorter bath so you can compare. If the door of your Chelsea bathroom opens inwards and catches the basin, re-hanging it or fitting a sliding door is often part of the plan.
Supplies across most of Greater London are very 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
- 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
- Shorter, narrower or shower baths where a full 1700 mm bath does not sit well
- Boarding, tanking and tiling, with larger tiles where they suit the walls to cut down grout lines
Decisions to make first
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.
Door
Re-hanging the door to open outwards, or fitting a sliding door, frees the space behind it. In a very small room this alone can make space for a bigger shower.
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.
