Bathroom Installation Northampton

A bathroom refit starts with removing the old suite. Then new supply and waste pipes go in, followed by the bath, shower, basin and toilet. Tiling and electrics usually need other trades, while the plumber handles pipes and fittings.

Waste pipes often mean lifting floorboards, because they need a steady fall to drain well. Moving the toilet far from the soil stack makes the job bigger. Ask early if a macerator could help, as our Saniflo repair page explains.

Some refit work falls under Building Regulations, for example unvented hot water. GOV.UK publishes Approved Document G on hot water safety. Check your plan with building control.

Bathroom Mountain puts a standard bathroom at £4,500 to £9,000, supplied and fitted. Drench gives £5,000 to £8,000 for a mid-range bathroom. Labour makes up roughly £1,800 to £4,000, says Bathroom Mountain, although the split varies by job.

Bathroom Mountain says a refit takes six to ten working days, while Drench says about a week. These are guides, not our prices, although they show the usual range. Our guide to bathroom costs in Northampton explains what moves the price.

Send the room size, the suite you want and any move of the toilet or shower. Say whether you will buy the suite yourself. Ask what the quote covers, since tiling and electrics are often extra.

Taps and showers can also wear out over time, yet a fix may cost less than a refit. See tap and shower repair if you only need a fix. For radiators and towel rails, see central heating work.
