What does a complete bathroom cost? An honest answer

Where does your bathroom budget really go? We honestly explain what drives the cost and where you can steer smartly.

"What will it cost?" is the first question with every bathroom dream, and the honest answer is: it depends on choices that are largely in your own hands. In this article we explain where the money goes, so you start your plans with a realistic picture.

Where the budget goes

A complete bathroom roughly consists of three parts: the sanitary ware and furniture, the tiles, and the installation work. What surprises many people: the installation work is often a large share of the total. Moving pipework, tiling a walk-in shower, connecting a second basin: it is the hours that count, not just the materials.

Where you can steer smartly

If you want to manage the budget, look at the layout first. Keeping sanitary ware where it is saves considerably on pipework. Your tile choice matters too: a large affordable base tile combined with one special accent wall gives a lot of effect for less money than the whole room in the most expensive material.

Why we start with a design consultation

With us you don't get a price from a standard table. In a design consultation we draw out your bathroom, choose materials that fit your budget and you receive a quote that covers everything. That way you know where you stand beforehand, with no surprises afterwards. Our bathroom designs on the site show a price level per design, so you get a feel for the range. Feel free to book a free design consultation in our showroom in Itterbeck.
