Planning a new bathroom in 2025? Whether it’s a full renovation or a simple refresh, one of the first questions you’ll want answered is:
“How much will it cost?”
The truth is, costs vary depending on your space, your style, and how much work is involved—but this guide breaks it all down clearly so you can plan with confidence.
🛁 Average Cost of a New Bathroom in the UK (2025)
For a standard mid-range bathroom renovation in 2025, most UK homeowners can expect to spend:
£4,500 – £7,500
This includes:
-
A new bath or shower enclosure
-
Vanity unit and basin
-
Toilet
-
Tiling and flooring
-
Fixtures, fittings, and labour
💎 High-End Bathroom Cost (Luxury Finish)
If you're going for premium fixtures, bespoke joinery, designer taps, walk-in wet zones and underfloor heating, the cost can rise to:
£10,000 – £20,000+
This often includes:
-
Freestanding bath or walk-in wet room
-
Wall-hung furniture and concealed cisterns
-
Brushed brass or gunmetal finishes
-
Premium tiles or microcement
-
Lighting, smart mirrors, heating and ventilation
-
Full rip-out and repositioning of plumbing or electrics
🧱 What Affects the Price?
Several factors impact the final cost:
🔹 Size of the Bathroom
A small cloakroom may only cost £2,000–£3,000, while a large master bathroom or ensuite can run higher.
🔹 Product Choices
Premium brands, brushed finishes, and designer tiles quickly add to the budget—but can completely elevate the space.
🔹 Installation Complexity
-
Wall-hung units need reinforced walls
-
Moving a toilet or plumbing means more labour
-
Tiling floor-to-ceiling adds cost but creates a high-end look
🔹 Labour Costs
Expect to pay around £200–£300 per day for a qualified bathroom fitter, with full installs taking 5–10 days.
🧰 Ways to Save Without Compromising Style
-
Stick to your existing plumbing layout
-
Choose a freestanding vanity over wall-hung to reduce fitting costs
-
Mix luxury with value—splurge on the tap, save on the toilet
-
Use large-format tiles to cut tiling labour time
