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.
- Design and layout
- Strip-out and disposal
- Waterproofing (tanking) of wet areas
What will bathroom installation cost?
What bathrooms and en-suites typically cost. These are guide ranges; the written quote for your house replaces them.
| Bathrooms and en-suites | Guide price incl. VAT |
|---|---|
| En-suite or shower room | £5,500 to £10,000 |

Do you need permission for bathroom installation in Seaham?
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.
What can affect bathroom installation?
- Low water pressure limits the choice of shower; a pump or unvented cylinder may be needed.
- Large-format tiles need flat walls, which may mean re-boarding.
From first call to completion
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- Free site visit. We measure up, look at access, drains and the structure, and talk through options and budget.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
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.
Can you visit a house in Seaham to quote?
Yes. After a short call we arrange a site visit to measure up and agree what the design needs to do, then send a written price.
