A bathroom installation replaces your old suite with new sanitaryware, a bath or shower, tiling and fittings, including the plumbing, electrics, ventilation and waterproofing needed for a complete, watertight room.
For a homeowner in East Molesey, planning a new bathroom tends to begin with two questions: what will it cost, and how disruptive will it be? Our guide range is £5,600–£13,500 including VAT, and a typical job runs to 1–2 weeks per bathroom. Both numbers firm up once we have seen the property, measured up and agreed exactly what is included.

Homes in Surrey
Surrey has many Victorian and Edwardian villas, interwar semis in the commuter towns near London, and Arts and Crafts houses with tile-hanging and tall chimneys. Bargate stone appears around Godalming, and large detached homes are common in Guildford, Woking, Weybridge and the Surrey Hills villages.
Larger homes often take kitchen extensions, bifold doors, landscaping and driveway renewal. Interwar semis suit loft and side extensions, while tile-hung and period properties may need roof and hanging-tile repairs.
That variety is why a guide price for a new bathroom in East Molesey is only a starting point; the survey shows what your particular property needs.
Do you need permission in East Molesey?
Planning law differs across the UK. For a home in East Molesey, it is the England rules below that count, and we check them with the council ahead of any quote.
Internal work such as a new kitchen, bathroom, flooring, plastering or decorating does not need planning permission in England, unless the house is listed, when listed building consent may be needed even for internal changes.
Some internal work is covered by Building Regulations: new electrical circuits and work in bathrooms (Part P), new drainage, structural changes, extractor ventilation and any new window. Notifiable work is certified by a registered installer or by building control.
Rules change and every property is different, so we check the planning history and constraints for your address before we quote.
What happens after you get in touch?
Survey and measure
First, someone visits your home in East Molesey to see the space, take measurements and note anything that could affect the work, such as access or the condition of what is there. There is no charge for this visit.
Price and scope agreed
The quote arrives in writing, not over the phone. It covers the full scope, the finishes you've chosen, any exclusions and the payment schedule, with a fixed price tied to that specification.
Dates and permissions
Preparation matters as much as the build. We agree access, parking and working hours with you, order materials in good time, and confirm any permissions so the job isn't held up once it starts.
Build and hand over
Work goes ahead as scheduled and you deal with one contact throughout. When the last trade leaves, we clear and clean the site, talk you through what has been done and pass on any certificates and care instructions.

Bathrooms in East Molesey: questions
Can I move the toilet to a different position?
Moving a toilet is usually possible, but it is limited by the soil pipe, which needs a large-diameter pipe with a steady fall to the soil stack. Short moves along the same wall are often simple, while moving it across the room may mean lifting floors or boxing in pipework. A macerator pump is an option where gravity will not work. We check the stack position during the survey.
What happens at the survey?
We visit your home at a time that suits you, look at the area involved, take measurements and check access, condition and any services that might be affected. We talk through what you want from a new bathroom, explain the options and answer questions. There is no charge and no obligation; afterwards we send a written quote.
How much does a new bathroom cost?
A typical family bathroom costs £5,600–£13,500 supplied and fitted, including tiling, a new suite, shower, lighting and an extractor fan. Shower rooms and simple en-suites cost a little less, while wet rooms, standalone baths and large-format tiles cost more. Moving the toilet or replacing rotten floorboards adds to the total. We confirm a fixed price for the agreed specification after the survey.
Which tiles are easiest to keep clean?
Large-format porcelain tiles are usually easiest to keep clean, because there are fewer grout lines to collect dirt and porcelain absorbs very little water. Glossy tiles show water marks more than matt ones, while textured floor tiles give better grip. Grout colour matters too: mid-grey hides staining better than white. We can suggest anti-slip ratings and grout options that suit how you use the room.
