If you’re planning a new bathroom in Devon, the honest answer is that most fully installed bathrooms with us fall somewhere between £12,000 and £26,000, with our average bathroom project coming in at around £16,000. That figure includes the design, the products, the tiling, the flooring and the full installation by our own team.
That’s a wide range, and it’s fair to want to know where your own project might land. So rather than leave you with a number and nothing else, this guide explains what sits behind each price band, what tends to push the cost up or down, and the questions worth asking any bathroom company before you sign anything.
What Does a New Bathroom Cost in Devon?
We publish our bathroom and kitchen prices openly, because we think you should have a realistic idea of the investment before you ever sit down with a designer. Here’s how our bathroom projects typically break down:
| Bathroom type | Typical price (fully installed) | What this usually looks like |
|---|---|---|
| Small to medium bathroom | £12,000 to £15,000 | A family bathroom or en suite with a bath or shower, quality sanitaryware, a vanity unit and full tiling |
| Medium to large bathroom | £15,000 to £21,000 | More floor space, often a separate bath and walk-in shower, more storage and higher specification finishes |
| Premium luxury bathroom | £21,000 to £26,000+ | Statement baths, bespoke furniture, feature tiling, underfloor heating and the finishing details that make a room feel like a retreat |
These are guide figures rather than fixed quotes. Every room is different, and the final price depends on the size of the space, the products you choose and how much preparation the room needs before the new bathroom goes in.
What Is Included in the Price?
This is where comparing bathroom quotes gets tricky. One company’s £10,000 can easily become £15,000 once the tiling, the electrician, the plasterer and the skip hire are added on. When you’re comparing figures, it’s worth checking you’re comparing like for like.
Our prices typically include:
- A bespoke design service, including a home survey
- Your bathroom furniture, sanitaryware and storage
- Tiling and flooring
- Removal of your old suite
- A fully managed installation by our in-house team
- Decorating, so the room is finished when we hand it back
Structural building work, or major changes to plumbing and electrics beyond the standard installation, are only included if they’re agreed in writing at the start. We’ll always tell you upfront if your project needs any of this, so there are no hidden costs and no nasty surprises later.
What Makes a Bathroom Cost More?
Two bathrooms of exactly the same size can end up thousands of pounds apart. These are the factors that make the biggest difference.
Moving things around
Keeping your toilet, basin and shower roughly where they already are is usually the most cost-effective approach. Moving a toilet in particular can be involved, because the waste pipe needs a proper fall to drain correctly. In some homes that’s simple. In others, especially older Devon cottages with solid floors, it can mean lifting floors or boxing in pipework.
That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t move anything. Sometimes relocating the shower is the single change that makes a cramped room work. It just means the decision should be made with a clear idea of what it involves.
What’s behind the walls
Older properties often hide things you can’t see until the old tiles come off: uneven walls, tired pipework or floors that need levelling before new tiles can go down. A thorough home survey at the start helps us spot as much of this as possible before we give you a price, rather than discovering it halfway through.
Walk-in showers and wet rooms
A walk-in shower with a low tray is a popular choice and usually sits comfortably within the standard bands. A full wet room, where the floor itself becomes the shower area, needs proper tanking and a carefully formed floor gradient. Done well it’s beautiful. Done badly it leaks, so the preparation work is where the extra cost goes.
Tiles and finishes
Large format tiles look striking, but they need very flat walls and floors and take longer to lay. Intricate patterns, feature walls and natural stone all add time and material cost too. On the other hand, choosing where to spend on tiles can make a modest budget go a long way. A single feature wall in a beautiful tile, with simpler tiles elsewhere, often looks better than the same expensive tile used everywhere.
Underfloor heating and extras
Electric underfloor heating, heated mirrors, built-in shelving niches and bespoke vanity units all add to the cost. They also tend to be the details people love most once the room is finished, so it’s worth deciding early which ones matter to you.
Where Is It Worth Spending, and Where Can You Save?
After more than 30 years of fitting bathrooms, our team has a fairly clear view on this.
Worth spending on: the things you touch every day and the things you can’t easily replace. A good thermostatic shower valve, quality taps and a well made vanity unit will feel solid for years. The waterproofing and preparation behind your tiles matters even more, because if that’s wrong, nothing you put on top will last.
Where you can be more flexible: accessories, mirrors and towel rails can all be upgraded later without disturbing anything. Choosing a slightly simpler tile for the floor or the less visible walls is another sensible way to keep costs in check.
One thing we’d always steer you away from is saving money on the installation itself. The products might come from the same suppliers, but the difference between a bathroom that lasts fifteen years and one that starts to fail after three is almost always down to how it was fitted.
Why the Lowest Quote Isn’t Always the Lowest Cost
It’s natural to look at the bottom line, but it pays to look at what’s actually in the quote. A lower figure can sometimes mean products are lower grade, preparation has been skipped, or you’ll be left to arrange the electrician, plasterer and decorator yourself.
That’s where a fully managed service earns its keep. With one team handling design, project management and installation, there’s one person responsible for your bathroom from start to finish. If you’re unsure what to look for, our guide to bathroom renovation mistakes to avoid covers the issues we see most often.
