​How much does it cost to have a bathroom fitted?

When calculating the costs of renovating your bathroom, Arco fitters can offer you a good evaluation of estimated costs at the planning stage. 

For example, as well as the cost of buying the bathroom suite, what other elements do you require to complete the installation and finished look? Do you want seperate shower and bath? Would you like to add underfloor heating and heated towel rails?

The end figure can vary depending on what you need and if unforeseen complications arise whilst the work is being carried out. For example, damaged piping will only be seen once the floorboards are up and work is underway. This will then raise the cost of the bathroom installation.

What types of items to choose for your bathroom...

These days bathroom suites come in all shapes, sizes and budgets to suit all pockets. To help you make an informed decision, below are some points to consider: 

Baths
Baths, are usually the centrepiece of the room. Depending on the size of your space, you might want to choose from one of the following: single or double ended baths, freestanding, corner, shower baths, whirlpool baths or roll tops. Baths can be made of different materials including steel, acrylic and thermaform baths. Thermaform baths keep the water warmer for longer and are thicker than standard acrylic baths. This material is a lot more thermally efficient than a standard acrylic baths.

Basins and Washbowls
Basins come in a variety of styles from corner, inset, hung and countertop. If the seamless look is something you desire you could opt for having your basin integrated into the worktop.  Arco cater for all styles, from traditional to contemporary or futuristic. 

Toilets and Toilet Systems
Suppliers of bathrooms usually stock toilet systems to match the sanitary ware pieces. Toilet systems can range from a classic design, to contemporary wall-hung or back-to-wall style units.

Taps
The taps you choose for your bathroom can have a huge effect on the overall look and functionality of your bathroom fittings. If you like to keep your hot and cold taps seperate, then go for pillar taps. Mixer taps, have the same seperate element like pillar taps but the flow of water emerges from a single spout. Monobloc mixer taps is a single unit with one or two handles and one spout. Wall mounted taps are usually of a contemporary style and protrude from the wall over the bath or basin. Deck mounted taps (in the style of pillar taps or monoblocs) are attached to the bath, unit or basin. Freestanding taps are used with roll top baths as both items for the ultimate contemporary look.

Tiles
Tiles come in a variety of styles from contemporary, traditional, timeless and boutique. Check out your local area for providers or ask one of the Arco team for who they could recommend.
​
Flooring
Having carpet in the bathroom is thankfully an option you don't need to go for these days, as there is a great variety of flooring you can buy to really enhance the look and feel of your bathroom. An overview of the flooring types are as follows:
  • Porceline or ceramic tile - waterproof, stylish and cost-effective  
  • Vinyl: sheet, plank or tile - good aesthetics and very practical
  • Natural stone: marble, granite, limestone - few moisture problems but more expensive
  • Engineered Wood - better than solid wood as it has a plywood base that doesn't absorb much moisture
  • Laminate - better than solid hardwood, but need to protect the wood base from moisture
  • Solid hardwood - looks great and makes walking bare foot a pleasure
