What does bathroom underfloor heating cost in Horley?
In Horley, bathroom underfloor heating typically costs £800–£2,800 including VAT, based on South East England prices. 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.

Working in Horley
We cover every part of Horley, including RH6, and nearby Crawley (4.4 miles) and Redhill (4.6 miles).
Horley gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Horley home has a suspended timber floor, insulation boards under the mat stop heat disappearing into the void below. Where a Horley home already has a heat pump, or the heating is being altered, a wet underfloor system is worth comparing with electric.
Most of Surrey has hard water. Hard water leaves white marks on dark grout and gloss tiles, so matt finishes and stain-resistant grout are the practical choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A floor sensor set between the heating runs and wired back to the thermostat
- Insulation boards over the subfloor, so heat goes up into the tiles rather than down into the joists or screed
- The electric mat or cable laid to the open floor, kept clear of where the WC, bath and fixed furniture will sit
- Bringing the system up to temperature gradually once the adhesive and grout have cured
Decisions to make first
Electric or wet
Electric is cheaper to install and quick to lay in one room. Wet costs more upfront but is usually cheaper to run where it is fed by a gas boiler or heat pump.
Floor heating and towel rail
Underfloor heating warms the room; a towel rail dries towels. Many bathrooms have both, and a dual-fuel rail keeps working in summer when the boiler is off.
Rules that apply in England
In England, a new circuit for underfloor heating is notifiable under Part P, and so is connecting it to an existing circuit in a room with a bath or shower. The electrician either self-certifies through a competent person scheme or the work is notified to building control.
