HaMuch breaks down the major costs to help you understand what kind of financial commitment you are making. <\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New bathrooms are one of the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.idealhome.co.uk\/news\/popular-home-improvements-179136\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">most popular areas<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of home improvement in the UK. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spaces we spend much of our time in, with the potential to add great value to a property, renovations to bathrooms can have a major impact on the aesthetic appeal of a home. But, despite the fact they are often the smallest rooms in our house, improvements can still be costly. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, how much does a new bathroom cost and is it affordable for you? Here, HaMuch breaks down the average cost of a new bathroom, looking at everything from individual item costs to fees and labour charges. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Average Cost of New Bathroom Fixtures<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When kitting out a new bathroom, there are heaps of different fittings and fixtures you\u2019ll need. Depending on your project, you may want to go for every item available, or pick up the bare essentials. Below is a list of everything you could possibly need:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Bath<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low range: \u00a3100<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mid range: \u00a3300<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High end: \u00a31000<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Starting at \u00a3100, bath prices can rise to \u00a31000 or more. More expensive baths are often made from higher-quality materials, are larger and feature bespoke designs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Shower \u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low range: \u00a350<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mid range: \u00a3200<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High end: \u00a31000<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A basic shower fitted to a bath will cost you very little. However, prices start to spike as you consider larger options, multiple fittings and full shower screen setups.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Basin<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low range: \u00a350<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mid range: \u00a3100<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High end: \u00a3300<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Basins are often inexpensive and you can pick up a nice design for only a little more than a budget option. Even high-end fixtures don\u2019t tend to be much more expensive. This is due to the fact most are made of the same material; ceramic or porcelain. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Faucets<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low range: \u00a320<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mid range: \u00a350<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High end: \u00a3120<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good pair of taps can be very cheap \u2014 the cheapest item on your bathroom shopping list. However, more appealing designs such as waterfall taps or a copper finish will set you back a little bit more. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Toilet<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low range: \u00a350<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mid range: \u00a3200<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High end: \u00a3500<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are just looking for a simply designed, functional toilet, you won\u2019t need to pay more than \u00a350-\u00a3100. Prices can range up to the \u00a3500 mark, though, if you are in search of something a little more stylish. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Vinyl Flooring<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low range: \u00a3100<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mid range: \u00a3200<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High end: \u00a3400<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cost of vinyl flooring is based off both design and floor space \u2014 usually by square metre. Expect to pay \u00a315-30 per square metre, with the average bathroom space set around <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8-10 square metres<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Counters<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low range: \u00a360<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mid range: \u00a3150<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High end: \u00a3500<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As with all types of furniture, bathroom countertops and cabinets can be obtained for a range of prices. Simple flat-pack designs can be brought in for anything as low as \u00a360. However, if you are looking for hardwood treated options, be prepared to pay much more. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tiling<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low range: \u00a3200<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mid range: \u00a3800<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High end: \u00a32000<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tiling is the one place you\u2019ll see most variance in price. This is purely down to the material used. Cheap tiles are inexpensive and doing entire walls will cost very little. Yet, the different types of materials out there is so varied that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elledecor.com\/design-decorate\/room-ideas\/g10213582\/bathroom-tile-ideas\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">if you want something striking and unique<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you could be looking at thousands of pounds <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How Much Does A New Bathroom Cost? Don\u2019t Forget Rates for Fitting!<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When considering the average cost of a new bathroom, it\u2019s important to remember that all your new elements must be fitted. This is something many opt for as a DIY project. However, we don\u2019t recommend this. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A poorly fitted bathroom can be a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.housebeautiful.com\/home-remodeling\/renovation\/a1141\/home-renovation-nightmares\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nightmare scenario<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Moisture has a habit of helping bodge jobs fall apart quicker than if they were in other rooms of the house, and the regular use means if not fitted properly, things can go downhill fast. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting in a professional tradesman to complete your new bathroom installation is recommended. But how much will this cost?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Labourer charges vary, depending on industry and experience. However, you are looking at around <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.buildingsheriff.com\/-2\/en-suite-bathroom.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a3100-\u00a3200 per day<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for your average professional bathroom installer. This will include the cost of plumbing work or electrical changes as needed. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Job sizes vary massively when installing a new bathroom, based not only on the size of the space, but also the scale of the job. Fitting a single bath will take a day, while a full refit on a large bathroom can take a month. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Labour Rates <\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Until a tradesman can come into your property and give you an accurate quotation based on what you need doing, it\u2019s impossible to say exactly how much the price of fitting your bathroom will be. However, we can provide a rough estimation:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b><i>Single job<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: \u00a3150* <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b><i>Small bathroom<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: \u00a31500-\u00a33000<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b><i>Medium bathroom<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: \u00a32500-\u00a34000<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b><i>Large bathroom<\/i><\/b><b>:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a33500-\u00a35500<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">*<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This includes call out charge and the fitting of a single item, such as bath, shower or toilet. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2><b>Overall Average Cost of a New Bathroom<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are so many variable factors involved in the average cost of a new bathroom that it\u2019s difficult to give a figure that works for everyone. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead, we suggest you use this blog as a basic guide, considering unique elements involved in your own project.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, you may have a medium-sized bathroom that will be equipped with budget tiles, flooring, basin and toilet, yet incorporate a high-end shower.
