Key facts

Last reviewed:

Bathroom plumbing costs depend on how much is changing. A full bathroom installation is typically from £2,000 including VAT, and individual jobs such as a toilet or shower are priced separately. Final prices depend on the room, the fittings and whether pipework is being moved.

Full bathroom installation

A full bathroom installation is typically from £2,000 including VAT. Moving the toilet, shower or bath adds pipework and time, so describe the layout you want when you ask for a price.

Toilets

A toilet repair is typically £60 - £100 and a toilet replacement £120 - £200, including VAT. The call-out fee is extra.

Showers

Shower installation is typically £150 - £350 including VAT. The price depends on the type of shower, the existing pipework and the water pressure.

Taps and basins

Tap repair is typically £50 - £80 and tap replacement £70 - £120, including VAT.

What affects the price

The distance to the soil stack, whether a pump is needed for low pressure, the floor type, access, and whether the layout changes. A site visit or clear photos help an engineer give a more accurate price.

Common questions

Do I need a pump for my shower?

Only if you have gravity-fed hot water and low incoming pressure. An engineer can check the flow and advise.

Do I need permission for bathroom work?

A like-for-like refit usually does not, but adding a new bathroom or changing drainage may. Check with your local building control or ask your installer.

How do I pay?

You pay the call-out fee online by card when you book. We then send an engineer.
