Bathrooms and en-suites in Portsmouth

Covering Portsmouth

Our coverage around Portsmouth (PO5) also includes Gosport, Fareham and Ryde.

Homes in the South East

The South East has a lot of 1930s and post-war semi-detached housing, well suited to rear extensions and hip-to-gable loft conversions, alongside period properties in conservation areas that need a more careful design.

What is bathroom installation?

Bathroom installation covers stripping out the old suite, altering plumbing and wiring, waterproofing, tiling, and fitting the new bath, shower, toilet, basin and heated towel rail. We also build new en-suites and shower rooms in lofts and extensions.

How much does bathroom installation cost in Portsmouth?

Typical ranges for bathrooms and en-suites. Ground conditions, access and specification move the final figure, which we fix in writing before work starts.

Bathrooms and en-suites	Guide price incl. VAT
En-suite or shower room	£5,500 to £10,000
Family bathroom refit	£7,000 to £12,000
Premium bathroom or wet room	£12,000 to £20,000

Do you need permission for bathroom installation in Portsmouth?

Projects in England go through two separate checks. Planning (or confirmation that the work is permitted development) comes from the district, borough or unitary council, and building regulations approval comes from the council’s building control team or a registered building control approver. Where work touches a shared wall or digs near a neighbour’s foundations, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies.

Bathroom refits do not need planning permission. Electrical work in bathrooms is notifiable in many cases, and new bathrooms need ventilation that meets building regulations.

What should I think about before starting?

Wet rooms need a fall to the drain and full waterproofing.
Large-format tiles need flat walls, which may mean re-boarding.

How does the project run?

Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.

Your questions answered

Can you add an en-suite to a bedroom?

Yes, if a waste route to the soil stack is possible. A macerator is an option where it is not.

Do I need building regulations approval?

New bathrooms need extraction to meet the regulations, and electrical work may be notifiable.

Who deals with the council for a project in Portsmouth?

We do. We prepare the drawings, submit planning or permitted development paperwork if needed, and arrange building control inspections.
