New bathroom cost - Understanding prices in the UK A simple guide to the cost of renovating your bathroom in the UK in 2025. Let’s get started. Average cost of a new bathroom in the UK A premium bathroom renovation in the UK typically ranges from £5,000 to £8,000. This investment covers a complete transformation, tailored to your unique vision and space. Key factors influencing the final price include: Bathroom dimensions Quality of chosen fixtures and fittings Extent of required work Your location within the UK Here's a glimpse at the costs for premium bathroom elements: Designer toilet: £500-£2,000+ Bespoke vanity unit: £800-£3,000+ Freestanding bath: £1,500-£8,000+ Custom shower enclosure: £400-£3,000+ High-end tiling: £2,000-£6,000+ A plumber will typically charge between £1,500 and £3,000. A standard bathroom installation usually takes 5-10 days. Factors affecting new bathroom costs When crafting your dream bathroom, several key elements influence the overall investment: Spatial design and layout The dimensions and configuration of your bathroom play a crucial role. Larger spaces offer more possibilities for luxurious features but require additional materials and craftsmanship. Unique layouts or architectural features can inspire bespoke solutions, enhancing the overall design. Premium fixtures and fittings The quality and exclusivity of your chosen bathroom elements significantly impact the final cost. Opting for designer brands and bespoke items, such as rainfall showers or custom-made vanities, elevates both the aesthetics and the investment. Plumbing considerations Reimagining your bathroom's layout may involve relocating key features like toilets or showers. While this allows for innovative designs, it does require more extensive plumbing work, which influences the overall cost. Premium surfaces Your choice of tiling and flooring materials can transform the space. From rare marbles to handcrafted tiles, these elements contribute significantly to the bathroom's ambiance and overall cost. Luxurious additions Incorporating indulgent features like underfloor heating, towel warmers, or built-in audio systems enhances comfort and sophistication, while also affecting the final investment. Cost comparison - Full renovation vs refresh Complete bathroom transformation A full luxury renovation typically requires an investment of £5,000 to £8,000. This comprehensive approach includes: Carefully removing existing elements Bespoke plumbing and electrical solutions Premium flooring and wall treatments High-end bathroom suite (designer toilet, vanity, bath/shower) Expert fitting services from multiple specialists A simple refresh A bathroom refresh to modernise or update concentrates on elevating key elements while preserving some existing features. Investments can range from £1,000 to £3,000 and may include: Installing a statement bathtub or custom shower enclosure Upgrading to designer taps and fixtures Adding a bespoke vanity unit Refreshing wall finishes Enhancing specific areas with luxury tiling Considerations for your decision Several factors influence whether a complete transformation or focused enhancement aligns best with your vision: Current state of plumbing and electrical systems Desired level of customisation and luxury Extent of layout changes envisioned While a focused enhancement offers a more immediate refresh, a complete transformation provides the opportunity to fully reimagine your space, ensuring every detail aligns with your luxury vision.

Understanding Lead Times on Standard or Bespoke Orders
Planning a bathroom makeover? Knowing how long your vanity unit will take to arrive is a pretty important part of the process. At 34 St John, we offer both ready-to-go and custom options for our Scanalato vanity units. Here’s a quick guide to understanding the lead times for both. 1. Standard Scanalato Orders We maintain a core collection of popular colours in our standard range, though specific availability may vary at time of order. Our classic colour palette includes: Cashmere Midnight Blue Pistachio Pure Black Pure White Rich Taupe Slate Grey Soft Taupe Walnut If we have these colours in stock for the particular unit that you want, they would be available for immediate delivery, so no waiting around. For immediate availability, use the ‘Delivery Time In Weeks’ filter to see which colours and sizes are currently in stock. When in stock, these colours are available for immediate delivery with no waiting time. 2. Bespoke Scanalato Orders Want something a bit more personal? Our bespoke options let you choose any colour you like from brands like: Farrow & Ball RAL Other bespoke colour options For RAL shades, use our colour picker and make your order. For non RAL colours fill out our enquiry form with your colour choice, and we’ll take it from there. There’s a small extra charge, and the process takes about seven weeks. This includes ordering a sample pot, making a sample panel, and ensuring the paint is just right for your bathroom. 3. Quality Assurance and Customisation We take extra care with our bespoke orders to make sure everything is perfect. Here’s what we do: Accurate Colour Matching: Internally, we create a sample panel so that our team can make sure the colour is spot on. Internal Management: We ensure your chosen colour is applied to the right piece. Testing and Monitoring: We check the paint’s durability and suitability for bathroom conditions. At 34 St John, we’re here to help you get the perfect vanity unit for your bathroom. Check out our collection and find the right fit for your home. -
