The Bathroom Layout
In any new bathroom project, completing the layout is the first and most crucial step. Even if you have a large master bathroom or a small en-suite, smart layout planning will make sure that everything works well and is comfortable.
Commence by determining the placement of the primary fixtures, including the toilet, basin, bath, and/or shower.
Think about how to get to the plumbing. Moving pipes is possible, but it costs more and is harder to do.
Plan ahead and ensure that there is space for comfortable moving, cleaning, and storing of items.
In order to help you maximise space and steer clear of common pitfalls, we include layout planning in our design consultations.
The Design Process
Once the layout is decided, it’s time to get creative with your bathroom design. This is the point at which you can truly personalize the space, whether you are striving for a traditional period aesthetic, a luxurious spa aesthetic, or a clean minimalist style.
Things to consider:
Tile choice (size, colour, texture)
Fixture finishes (chrome, black, brass, etc.)
Wall finishes and feature panels
Flooring that ties everything together
Our in-house designers can assist you in picturing the area and suggest materials according to your preferences and financial constraints.
The Prices
New bathrooms can vary in cost depending on finish level, labour requirements, and any structural or plumbing changes.
Here’s a rough idea of what you can expect:
Basic: £5,000 – £8,000
Mid-Range: £8,000 – £10,000
Premium: £10,000 – £15,000+

Lighting Considerations
In terms of both functionality and aesthetics, well-lit bathrooms are crucial.
Layered lighting is key:
- Ceiling spotlights provide overall illumination
- Wall lights add warmth and style
- Mirror lights are perfect for shaving and makeup
- Mood lighting (optional) adds a touch of luxury
- All lighting will be installed to meet bathroom safety regulations (IP-rated) by our qualified electricians.
