How Much Does Bathroom Fitting Cost? (UK)
A new bathroom is one of the most popular home improvements, and the fitted cost varies widely by size and spec. In 2026, bathroom fitting in the UK costs £4,000-£6,000 for a small refit, £6,000-£9,000 for a mid-range family bathroom, and £9,000-£15,000+ for a large or premium suite. Labour on its own is typically £2,000-£4,500. Price depends on the suite, tiling, and how much plumbing and electrics change. This guide breaks it down and shows how to compare fitter quotes.
Bathroom Fitting Cost by Job Type
The fitted price is driven by the size of the room, the quality of the suite and tiling, and how much the plumbing and electrics have to change. A like-for-like swap in the same layout is cheapest; moving fittings or a full re-design costs more. Here is the 2026 ladder.
Small bathroom or cloakroom refit
£4,000-£6,000. A compact family bathroom or shower room with a standard suite, part-tiling and the same layout. The most common and most affordable job.
Mid-range family bathroom
£6,000-£9,000. A full refit with a quality suite, full-height tiling, new flooring and a thermostatic shower, keeping broadly the same layout.
Large or premium suite
£9,000-£15,000+. Bigger rooms, premium fittings, a walk-in or wet-room shower, underfloor heating and feature tiling push the price up.
Labour only (fitting)
£2,000-£4,500. If you supply the suite and tiles yourself, fitting labour for a typical bathroom runs to this. Complex jobs and full re-tiling add more.
Moving the layout
Adds £500-£2,000+. Relocating the WC, bath or basin needs new soil, waste and supply pipework, and often extra days on site.
What the price includes
Strip-out, plumbing, electrics, tiling, flooring, the suite and fitting, plus making good and waste removal. Confirm each item is in the written quote.
Labour only, and what moving the layout adds
The two figures that most often explain a gap between quotes: whether the price includes the suite and tiles, and whether the room is being re-planned rather than replaced in place.
Keeping the WC, bath and basin where they are is the single biggest saving available on a bathroom refit — moving them adds pipework and days on site.
