A new bathroom in the UK typically costs £3,000–£6,000 for a budget refit, £6,000–£12,000 mid-range and £12,000–£25,000+ at the high end in 2026. The price depends on the suite you choose, how much tiling is involved, and whether you keep the existing layout. Fitting labour usually runs £2,000–£5,000 across 7–12 working days, because several trades — plumber, tiler, electrician and plasterer — are involved. Electrical work in a bathroom is notifiable under Part P and must respect IP-rated zones, and mechanical extract ventilation is required under Part F. Moving the WC or soil stack is the costliest plumbing change. Get at least three itemised quotes from a bathroom installation specialist, check accreditations such as KBSA or TrustMark, and confirm building-regulations compliance before work starts.
