How much does a bathroom renovation cost?
A bathroom is one of the highest-value rooms in the house, and one of the trickiest to get right because so much is hidden behind the walls. Here is a realistic 2026 guide for our area.
Typical bathroom costs
| Level | Indicative cost (2026) |
|---|---|
| Straightforward like-for-like refit | £6,500 to £9,000 |
| Mid-range with new layout and tiling | £9,000 to £14,000 |
| High spec (walk-in, underfloor heating, stone) | £14,000 to £22,000+ |
| Small en-suite | from around £5,500 |
Where the money goes
- Rip-out and any moving of soil pipes, waste and water.
- First-fix plumbing and electrics, then tanking and tiling.
- Sanitaryware, brassware, shower and screen quality.
- Underfloor heating, niches, and feature tiling.
- Making good, extraction and decoration.
Moving the layout (relocating the WC or shower) adds cost because of the pipework, so keeping fittings roughly where they are keeps the price down. Our instant estimator gives a figure for your specific bathroom in about a minute.
