The average cost of a bathroom

In the UK, bathroom renovation costs also vary based on the scope of work, the size of the bathroom, materials, and whether you're using a professional or opting for DIY. Here’s a breakdown of the typical costs for a bathroom remodel in 2024:

1. Basic Remodel:A simple bathroom upgrade, such as replacing fixtures (toilet, sink, shower), re-tiling, or painting, can cost between £2,500 and £5,000.

2. Mid-Range Remodel:For a more comprehensive remodel, including replacing the bathtub or shower, installing new flooring, countertops, and upgraded fixtures, you can expect to spend between £5,000 and £10,000.

3. High-End Remodel:If you're opting for luxury finishes, custom cabinetry, and a full redesign (including changing the layout, adding high-end materials like marble, and upgrading plumbing or electrical systems), the cost can range from £10,000 to £20,000 or more.

4. Additional Considerations:

   • Location: Costs tend to be higher in London and other major cities due to the higher cost of living and labor rates.

   • Size of the Bathroom: Larger bathrooms will generally cost more to renovate.

   • Contractor vs. DIY: Hiring a professional will increase costs due to labor charges, but opting for a DIY project can significantly reduce the price, though it’s important to consider the complexity of the work.

As with any renovation project, it's always advisable to get multiple quotes from contractors to ensure you’re getting a competitive price. Unexpected issues, such as the need to replace old plumbing or electrical systems, can also drive up the cost.
