The last time we re-tiled our bathroom, it took longer than we thought and it was definitely a great inconvenience for us. This time, we hired these guys and were very impressed! Didn’t expect our bathroom to be done so quickly. Thank you!
At Bathroom Fitting Experts, we offer comprehensive bathroom renovation services across London, with transparent pricing to give you clarity and peace of mind. We understand that cost is a key factor when planning any renovation project, and our team is committed to providing clear, fixed prices for all our services.
When calculating the cost of a bathroom renovation, we consider a wide range of factors. These include the size of the bathroom, the type and size of tiles selected, the total area that requires tiling, the complexity of the design, and whether the new bathroom will follow the existing layout or require alterations. Costs can also be affected by whether pipework and fittings are concealed or exposed, whether the installation is a straightforward like-for-like replacement or involves significant plumbing modifications, and the overall condition of the existing bathroom.
Other important considerations include the age of the property, the condition of the walls and floors, accessibility, structural requirements, and the desired level of finish. A high-quality finish requires skilled craftsmanship, attention to detail, and experience. Specialist bathroom renovation companies such as Bathroom Fitting Experts invest heavily in training, expertise, and quality control to consistently deliver exceptional results, which is reflected in the level of workmanship provided.
We prepare a fixed quotation based on your specific project requirements rather than a rough estimate, helping you avoid hidden costs and unexpected surprises during the renovation process.
What’s Included in a Typical Bathroom Renovation?
A typical bathroom renovation involves the removal and responsible disposal of existing tiles, sanitaryware, and bathroom fittings. The project usually includes first-fix plumbing works for new baths, showers, toilets, washbasins, radiators, and towel rails, together with any necessary alterations to pipework.
Preparation works to floors and walls are carried out before tiling begins and may include levelling surfaces, repairing damaged substrates, waterproofing wet areas, and installing tile backer boards where required. Most projects also involve wall and floor tiling, electrical works for lighting, extractor fans, shaver sockets, or underfloor heating, as well as painting and decorating where appropriate.
The renovation is completed with second-fix plumbing works, including the installation and connection of all sanitaryware and brassware, fitting bathroom accessories, mirrors, shower screens, and other finishing details.
- Waterproofing and tanking systems
- Building and tiling recessed niche shelves
- Construction of bespoke bath panels, painted or tiled
- Installation of underfloor heating
- Custom boxing-in of pipework
- Installation of concealed cistern systems
- Walk-in shower and wet room construction
- Bespoke shower enclosures
- Feature wall tiling
- LED mirror and lighting installations
- Ventilation and extractor fan upgrades

Bathroom Renovation Cost Breakdown: What Should You Budget For?
Every bathroom renovation is unique, so the figures below should be treated as a general guide rather than an exact cost.
The examples shown are based on our experience completing bathroom renovations throughout London. Final costs will vary depending on the scope of works, the materials selected, and the amount of labour required to complete the project.
Several key factors contribute to the overall cost of a bathroom renovation:
Labour –
Labour is typically the largest element of the budget and will vary according to the complexity and scope of the work. It is important to clearly define what is included within the quotation, as some renovations require significantly more time, specialist skills, and coordination than others.
Building Materials –
These are the materials supplied and installed by the contractor during the renovation process and may include:
- Plumbing materials and fittings
- Tile adhesive and grout
- Waterproofing systems
- Timber, boards, and sheet materials
- Silicone and sealants
- Floor levelling compounds
- Preparation materials
- Paints and decorating supplies
Finishing Materials –
These are the visible products that define the appearance of the finished bathroom, including:
- Baths, showers, toilets, and basins
- Taps and shower valves
- Furniture and storage units
- Wall and floor tiles
- Flooring materials
- Mirrors and accessories
Your choice of finishing materials can have a significant impact on the overall budget.
Waste Removal and Disposal –
The removal and disposal of construction waste generated during the renovation should also be considered when budgeting for your project. Bathroom Fitting Experts can arrange waste collection and disposal upon request, or customers may choose to organise this independently if preferred.
Additional or Unexpected Costs –
Occasionally, hidden issues are uncovered once the existing bathroom has been stripped out. These may include:
- Damaged subfloors requiring repair
- Water damage, damp, or mould treatment
- Replacement of outdated plumbing systems
- Electrical upgrades to comply with current regulations
- Structural repairs or reinforcement works
- Rectification of poor-quality workmanship from previous renovations
As a general guideline, it is sensible to allow an additional 5–10% contingency within your budget for unforeseen issues. For older properties, a larger contingency may be advisable as hidden defects, previous poor-quality workmanship, or ageing infrastructure are more likely to be discovered during the renovation.
In summary, bathroom renovation costs can vary considerably depending on the complexity of the project and the materials selected. By understanding the factors that influence pricing and working with experienced specialists such as Bathroom Fitting Experts, you can plan your budget more accurately and minimise the risk of unexpected costs.

Why Our Prices May Not Be the Cheapest
We understand that some contractors may offer lower prices.

Our quotations are based on delivering a high-quality finish that is built to last, rather than simply providing the lowest possible price.
Frequently Asked Questions About Bathroom Renovation Costs
How much does a bathroom renovation cost in London?
The cost of a bathroom renovation in London typically starts from around £4,500 plus VAT for a simple renovation and can exceed £10,000 for larger bathrooms with bespoke features, premium finishes, or significant layout changes. The final cost depends on the scope of works, labour requirements, and materials selected.
What affects the cost of a bathroom renovation?
Several factors influence the overall cost, including the size of the bathroom, the amount of tiling required, the complexity of the design, plumbing alterations, condition of the existing walls and floors, property age, accessibility, and the quality of workmanship required.
How much does labour cost for a bathroom renovation?
Labour is usually the largest part of the budget and often represents 50–70% of the overall project cost. Labour costs vary depending on the complexity of the renovation, the number of trades involved, and the time required to complete the work.
How long does a bathroom renovation take?
Most bathroom renovations are completed within 10 to 14 working days. More complex projects involving structural changes, extensive plumbing alterations, wet rooms, or bespoke features may take longer.
What is included in a bathroom renovation quote?
A typical bathroom renovation quote may include demolition, waste removal, plumbing works, wall and floor preparation, waterproofing, tiling, electrical works, sanitaryware installation, decorating, and final finishing works. The exact scope will vary depending on the project.
Should I allow a contingency budget?
Yes. We recommend allowing an additional 5–10% contingency for unforeseen issues. Older properties may require a larger contingency due to hidden defects, water damage, outdated plumbing, or previous poor-quality workmanship that only becomes visible once the existing bathroom has been removed.
Is it cheaper to keep the existing bathroom layout?
In most cases, yes. Retaining the existing positions of the bath, shower, toilet, and basin can reduce labour and plumbing costs. Relocating sanitaryware often requires additional plumbing works and can increase the overall project cost.
