<h3>How much does a small ensuite cost in the UK? </h3>



<p>Most bathrooms cost between £5-7k, while larger ones with high-end suites and built-in furniture can be just under £10k. The process involves:</p>

<h3>How much do bathroom fitters charge per day in the UK?</h3>



<p>Refurbishing a bathroom takes about three weeks and costs around £248 per day for a bathroom fitter. Research and compare quotes from different fitters to get the best value for your money.</p>



<h3>How much does a bath cost?</h3>



<p>At Buildiro, we prioritise offering our customers accurate and dependable information. When contemplating the acquisition of a bathroom suite, it&#8217;s crucial to remember that bathtubs are generally not part of the package and will necessitate a distinct purchase. The price of a bathtub fluctuates based on several factors, including the chosen material and dimensions. For those seeking an economical choice, thinner acrylic tubs frequently present the most budget-friendly option and can be easily integrated into a framework, finalised with a separate bath panel.</p>



<h3>How much does a new shower cost?</h3>



<p>If you want to understand how to select a shower, consider electric showers. These are the most budget-friendly choice and suitable for individuals aiming for a swift and cost-effective bathroom upgrade.<br>Electric showers are connected solely to the mains cold water supply and heat water as needed. Consequently, they may achieve a different power level than power showers or those reliant on stored hot water. However, opting for a higher kilowatt rating can enhance their performance.<br>On a positive note, electric showers are cost-effective in operation, their installation is uncomplicated, and they start at approximately £40.<br>Alternatively, bath/shower mixers also serve as a viable option for those seeking to manage their bathroom renovation expenses, with prices starting at £30.</p>



<h3>Does the bathroom add value to the house?</h3>



<p>Updating your bathroom can increase your home&#8217;s value by 4-5%. A new bathroom provides a peaceful space to unwind after a long day. It&#8217;s a smart investment for personal use or resale value.</p>



<h2>Summary</h2>



<p>In conclusion, navigating the cost landscape of installing a new bathroom in 2023 within the UK demands a keen understanding of the contributing factors. Every aspect influences the final expenditure, from fixtures and materials to installation methods. However, the critical takeaway lies in the necessity of a thorough price comparison. In a market that offers abundant choices, comparing prices equips homeowners with the tools to make financially sound decisions, ultimately leading to a successful and cost-effective bathroom renovation journey.</p>

How Much Does a New Bathroom Cost in 2023? (UK)


<p>The advantage of modern dry construction in today&#8217;s world is that there is a solution for almost all levels of humidity. The problem lies only in choosing the appropriate material for a specific environment, as there are many real-life situations. The specific board material is theoretically chosen for constructions depending on the intensity of moisture exposure in the given environment. The good news is that KNAUF has several system solutions prepared for this purpose, which are capable of completely covering the needs of the construction.</p>



<h2>Plasterboards for regular bathrooms with humidity up to 75%</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/buildiro-web-app.appspot.com/1/2023/04/Untitled-design-22.webp" alt="plasterboard for damp enviroments" class="wp-image-4589" width="771" height="433"/><figcaption>&#8220;Green&#8221; plasterboard is best for most common bathrooms</figcaption></figure>



<p>In a typical bathroom with normal usage patterns, there is considerable moisture exposure, but usually not long-term. To be specific, the humidity in such a bathroom reaches 75% sometimes even 100%. However, if it does not exceed a period of two hours, there is nothing to worry about if we choose the impregnated Knauf Core Board together with impregnated jointing compounds (such as Uniflott Imprägniert) for the construction. The characteristic of this board with impregnated cardboard is its ability to absorb moisture up to a maximum of 10% of its weight. So it is really resistant even in such an environment. The second alternative is to choose the Knauf DIAMANT board, which excels in other criteria such as acoustic or fire-resistant properties, as well as strength and hardness.</p>



<h2>Board for extreme moisture exposure</h2>

<p>When you need to be absolutely sure that the construction will withstand even in a room that will be exposed to almost 100% humidity or water splashing, and reliable intensive ventilation is not possible, you have only one option &#8211; a cement-based board. Knauf AQUAPANEL (INDOOR or OUTDOOR) is a 100% waterproof board that can withstand intensive moisture exposure. In addition to not swelling and being dimensionally stable in damp conditions, this board is resistant to mold and can be safely used outdoors in the OUTDOOR variant. AQUAPANEL is a uncompromising solution with a high level of reliability. It finds practical use in wellness centers, pools, hospitals, public showers, and similar places. This board is also easy to work with as it can be cut with a knife and attached with self-tapping screws.</p>

Source: Ceskestavby.cz</figcaption></figure>



<p>For a traditional family bathroom, it is recommended to use DRYSTAR or even <a href="https://buildiro.com/product/4260021862117/Knauf-Aquapanel-Floor-Tile-Underlay-1200mm-X-900mm-X-6mm" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">AQUAPANEL</a> instead of the GREEN board in the ceiling above the shower area. This is an area where humidity during showering exceeds the specified limit of 75%. If the space under the ceiling is not intensively ventilated because there is no fan, or it is inappropriately placed (sometimes even 10 to 15 cm away from the edge of the ceiling), then there is intense concentration and long-term exposure to humidity. In the case where only an impregnated board is used in the ceiling, it will not be damaged, but there is a risk of mold formation. The solution is simple. Use Knauf DRYSTAR or AQUAPANEL board in the construction of the ceiling above the shower area with the same dimensions as the shower area. There is no need to worry about connection problems with the rest of the construction, where GREEN boards are used again. However, be aware that whether the choice is DRYSTAR or AQUAPANEL, its surface must be fully skimmed. The increase in the cost of bathroom construction for this solution is negligible.</p>



<h2>Summary</h2>



<p>Moisture-resistant plasterboards are a solution for buildings that are exposed to high humidity levels, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and wellness centers. Plasterboards like Knauf GREEN, DRYSTAR, and DIAMANT are suitable for use in damp environments. Cement-based boards, such as Knauf AQUAPANEL, are recommended for extreme moisture exposure or areas where intensive ventilation is not possible. Unventilated ceilings above shower areas can be prone to mold formation if the wrong type of board is used. Choosing the right type of moisture-resistant plasterboard depends on the specific environment and level of moisture exposure. Knauf offers various system solutions that are capable of meeting the needs of the construction, ensuring reliability and durability.</p>

The bathroom is one of the main necessities of life, and bathroom refurbishment is key to it. If you think about it, it’s actually one of the places you’ll have spent the most time in.



Knowing this, bathroom refurbishment isn’t actually a bad investment to make. It can affect your psychology, save on bills, and even raise the value of your property.



Taking that into account, how do you even start? Let’s take a look.







The Bathroom Refurbishment Process



It&#8217;s ill-advised to go all in without a plan. So, here are some things to consider.



DIY or Expert



If you don’t have the confidence to refurbish yourself, look into hiring a professional company or handyman. If you do have the confidence and skill, make sure you know what you’re doing, as mistakes can be costly.



Equipment, Products &amp; Tools



Make sure you’re working with the best tools. Things that break easily can turn a rewarding experience into a bad one. That’s where we come in.



Pipes &amp; Wiring



Don’t start refurbishing without knowing where these are. One misplaced drill can lead to many expensive problems.







Full Or Partial Refurbishment



You don’t have to go all in, you can simply refurbish sections at a time. The toilet, basin, baths, it’s up to you.



The Materials



As a company that provides you with thousands of products to help you with refurbishing, it’d be criminal of us to not advise you on why.



There’s value to be had in terms of price, but price is also a good indicator of quality. You want good quality, especially since the products you’re buying will last almost a lifetime. The difference between something breaking in 5 years and in 30, is worth the extra investment.



Make sure you check the reviews on the vendors&#8217; website, to know that the price and value are fair.







The Psychological Effects



Now we dive into the why of a bathroom refurbishment. To answer the why, we need to answer this question. Why do we refurbish? Why haven’t we just stuck to what was originally installed when the house was constructed?



Can be for many reasons. But we know a finished refurbishment feels good once it’s completed. Let’s explain the benefits:



Colour Psychology



Different colours have subconscious effects on us. Red can mean passion, green can mean balance, and so on. Use it to your advantage when doing your bathroom refurbishment.



Your Own Personal Spa



The bathroom can serve more use than just doing your business. It can be a place to heal and relax. You could install a whirlpool bath. Change your fixtures to gold for that spa feeling, or even add some smart bulbs to make the mood yours entirely.



Increase Space



Moving things around can create space you didn’t even realize your bathroom had. The more space we have, the less claustrophobic we feel. When refurbishing, this is one of the times you get to move things around, so put some thought into that floor plan!



Save Money In The Long Term



Yes, making adjustments to your bathroom can save you money. Changing your toilet, shower head, faucets, heaters, can drop that water bill down, as well as your energy bill.



The Value



There are plenty of ways a bathroom refurbishment can add value. It goes beyond a comfier toilet seat, a more powerful shower, new lights, and so forth. Here’s the main ones that should matter to you.



Raising Your Property Value



This one should be a no-brainer to many. Refurbishing any part of your house will absolutely raise its value if you plan to sell it later.



According to OnTheMarket. Adding an extra bathroom can increase a properties value by £12,000, or 5%. So, if there’s room for it, and you plan to resell later, consider it.



Your Health



Old plumbing and fixtures can develop rot and mould. These aren’t good for your health. If left alone too long, you can develop mould poisoning, or even chronic diseases.



Small things like slip-resistant flooring, mirror height, and even adding plants to regulate humidity, can have long-lasting effects on your mind and body.
