Bathroom in London: frequently asked questions

What does a full bathroom fitting cost in London?

The price of a full bathroom fitting in London depends on several things, so we cannot give a figure here. Scope matters most: a straightforward refit costs differently to a wet room or an en suite with bespoke tiling. Materials play a part too, as a vanity unit and storage from a standard range differs from bespoke joinery. Access in London properties, such as stairs, parking restrictions or a tight bathroom footprint, can affect labour time. The condition of pipework and wiring behind the walls also matters, since older London homes sometimes need extra work. Describe your job clearly in your request so any bathroom fitter who later joins can judge the scope properly before quoting a price and a timescale. Bathroom fitter in London: prices and contract terms differ from company to company.

Do you need planning permission for a new bathroom in London?

Most bathroom work, including shower installation, bath to shower conversions and cloakroom toilets, does not need planning permission, since it usually counts as internal alteration. However, structural changes, moving a bathroom into a loft or extension, or altering drainage can bring in Building Regulations. Rules depend on the property and the exact work planned, so this cannot be confirmed generally. If you are unsure whether your project in London needs approval, check with the local council (planning or building control) before work starts. A bathroom fitter can also flag anything that needs sign off once they understand the job, which is another reason to describe it fully in your request.

How does fitting a wet room or en suite usually work?

A wet room or en suite project in London typically starts with removing old fittings, then checking the subfloor and walls for damp proofing and drainage falls. Tanking is applied before tiling to keep the room watertight, which is a step worth asking about directly. Pipework and electrics are adjusted as needed, followed by fitting the shower, bathroom tiling, a vanity unit and storage, and final fittings such as taps and a toilet. Timescales vary with scope and access, and only a bathroom fitter who has seen the space can give a realistic timescale. Mentioning whether you want a wet room, an en suite or an accessible bathroom helps any company understand the job from the outset.

What should you consider when choosing a bathroom fitter in London?

Look at how a bathroom fitter communicates and whether they explain the work clearly before you commit. It is sensible to check reviews where available, ask about insurance, and request a written quote that sets out materials, labour and any extra costs for things like tiling or an accessible bathroom. Compare how each company describes the job, not only the headline figure, since scope can hide differences. Ask what happens if hidden issues, such as old pipework, appear once work starts. Being clear in your own request about the bathroom refurbishment you want, including any vanity units and storage preferences, makes it easier for a company to give you an accurate, comparable answer.

Is the service really free?

Yes. Companies that join the service pay to be listed, which is how the comparison stays free for the person asking. You are never charged for comparing options or for simply submitting details of a full bathroom fitting, a wet room or any other job. The only cost involved is whatever a bathroom fitter eventually charges for the work itself, agreed directly between you and that company.

Does sending a request commit you to anything?

No. Submitting a request is entirely voluntary and does not commit you to hiring anyone or proceeding with any work. You simply describe the bathroom job you have in mind, whether that is bathroom tiling, a cloakroom toilet or a larger bathroom refurbishment, and the details are saved. You are free to change your mind at any point, and there is no pressure to accept any price or timescale later offered. Leaving an email address only means you can be told if a price becomes available. Beyond that, nothing is expected of you, and you remain in full control of whether to take any next step at all.
