How much do Bathroom Fitter services cost?

How much do Bathroom Fitters cost? Costs for Bathroom Fitters in 2024 can differ relying on the type of job that you want to have carried out in your house. It's the question we get asked a whole lot "how much do Bathroom Fitters cost?".

If you’re about to fit a new bathroom in your home, then you’d probably be wondering how much would be the labour cost of getting it done. Unfortunately, a single accurate answer can’t be provided to this question as there are many influencing factors that can determine the labour cost to fit a new bathroom. In this guide, we’ll give you a good insight on bathroom fitters charge to help you make informed decisions.

While you can obtain a good evaluation when planning the work on your bathroom, the final cost can largely vary. For small jobs such as fitting a pedestal basin with taps, professional installers can charge within the range of £170 to £250. Meanwhile, bigger projects such as tiling an entire bathroom can cost an average fee of about £70 to £90 per square metre. Generally, the overall average cost of fitting a new bathroom is about £6,500 in the UK. But in an event whereby you’ll be switching to a bathroom suite that’s exactly like the old one which wouldn’t require extra flooring as well as tiling, there’s a high chance you may be able to complete the project for a significantly lesser price.

The main reason why the labour costs vary is due to the fact that each individual job will have to be priced based on its own particular requirements and circumstances. Other influencing factors that’ll affect how easy a job is to complete, how much material will be incorporated and the duration of the project includes the size of the bathroom in question as well as the shape. However, there can be unforeseen complications like damaged piping which will also raise the price of the project and more.

Bathroom Fitter FAQs

What questions should I ask a bathroom fitter?

Regardless of the quality or how perfect the products for your new bathroom are, getting the right bathroom fitter for your bathroom refit is just as important to your project as any other thing you can possibly think of. Hiring a fitter is quite simple, but hiring a fitter who can get the job done to your requirements is another thing entirely. To hire the right bathroom fitter, there’s the need to consider all the features of a bathroom as well as any specialized products you may have selected. For instance, you’re going to need a professional tiler if you have quartz resin tiles. Also, if you wish to fit some luxurious underfloor heating, you’d need the services of a qualified electrician. Here are some of the questions you should ask from your bathroom fitter when having your bathroom fitted.

  • Have you got any experience working with this type of product? Each and every bathroom fitting job is unique. Your question should lean more towards whether or not the bathroom fitter possesses any experience working with the type and style of the product your selected rather simply asking the number of bathrooms they’ve fitted.
  • Request a portfolio. Ask the bathroom fitter if they have any portfolio you can go through. This will give you a good idea of the quality of their works.
  • Ask technical questions. Technical questions will go a long way to help you separate the boys from the men. The trick here is to know the answer beforehand, so when the prospective bathroom fitter provides an answer you’d know how good they are. 
What are the benefits of renovating my bathroom?

Apart from the aesthetic benefits of modernising a bathroom suite, replacing older toilets, cracked baths, sinks and showers with modern energy and water efficient ones could save you money. Also, modern mixer taps offer more precise temperature control.

My bathroom is very small, what solutions are available?

There is a range of space-saving toilets, showers and baths available. These are designed to accommodate small spaces and could mean that you can fit a bathroom in a small room that might otherwise be unused. This can be beneficial for an en suite where space is at a premium.

Should I use a designer to design my new bathroom?

Using a designer to professionally design your new bathroom will mean that you know you’re getting the best style of bathroom to fit your room. They can advise you on the best layout, styles, and colours to turn your bathroom into a beautiful space to relax.

Do you need multiple tradesmen to fit a bathroom?

Surprisingly, bathroom renovations usually involves a wide range of trades to complete. And to make sure the work is done to a standard accepted by building regulations, some of these trades is required to have some particular legal qualifications. Therefore, if you’re interested in getting a new bathroom project done, you’ll probably need to call in more than just your plumber.

Below are the different trades you may need to successfully install a new bathroom:

✓ Plumber - The plumber’s task would be to install the new bathroom’s pipework and reposition and fit the bathroom items as needed.

✓ Tiler - To remove old tiles ( if any), prepare and tile the walls and/or floor.

✓ Labourer - To detach the old suite, strip out old tiles as well as floor covering etc.

✓ Plasterer - To skim the ceiling or board out the walls before you tile or plaster.

✓ Joiner - To re-hinge doors or construct studwork. For instance, when including a new bathroom to a bedroom.

✓ Painter - To paint the newly skimmed ceiling with the help of anti mould bathroom.

✓ Electrician - To install underfloor heating, ceiling spotlights, an extractor fan or a shaver point.

✓ A builder - A general builder will be required if your new bathroom project requires any structural work to be carried out such as installing a new uPVC window, putting in an RSJ and lots more.

✓ A decorate - As the name suggests, the decorator can come in to make the bathroom look a lot more attractive and to finish the job.

And above all, to ensure proper coordination and success of the project, you’ll also need a person who’ll serve as the lynchpin in charge of the entire project.

How long will it take to install a new bathroom?

how much to fit a shower?

A bathroom is not only a pretty big investment, but also one that requires thorough planning and consideration before the work can be kick started. This is a task all homeowners will all have to go through at least once and even more so when things break or become worn too terribly to consider repair. As a result, when it comes to fitting a shower you can be sure to dig a bit deep into your pocket to start and get the project over the line. In general, the cost of your new bathroom tend to vary based on the shower installation company or plumber you choose to hire, your location, the materials required, the type of shower and other furnishings chosen and more. In this post, we aim to give you a good insight into the shower fitting pricing so as to help you help you make informed decisions moving forward.

 

Generally, a standard shower usually costs within the range of £100 to £120 for installation and this usually takes about 3 hours to complete. For an electric shower, you should expect to incur within the range of £100 to £150 on the plumber and a similar price range for the electrician as well. And for the shower enclosure, you can expect to pay within the range of £150 to £250 for the labour and it’ll take up to 4 hours to complete. You’ll also factor in the taps,tiling, underfloor heating, extractor fan, bath, basin and toilet.

 

Overall, for a complete renovation of your shower, you can expect to incur within the range of £3000 to £5000 with the average duration of the job being 10 days. Meanwhile for a standard installation (only for bathroom fixtures), this will often cost within the range of £2000 to £2500 with an average job length of around 5 days.
