Common questions

How much is a small bathroom renovation?
A small bathroom kept in the same layout with a mid-range suite typically costs £4,000 to £6,500 all in. A cloakroom or en-suite can be less.
What is the most expensive part of a bathroom?
Labour and tiling are usually the biggest line, followed by the shower and any layout changes. Moving the toilet or bath adds the most because of the soil pipe work.
