Design service
Bathroom design
A bathroom planned to the centimetre, with sanitaryware placed for comfortable use, storage built in and tiles set out before they are ordered. You see it in 3D and get drawings for your builder.
What does a bathroom design service include?
Bathroom design covers the layout of the bath or shower, basin and WC, clearances in front of each, storage, tiling, lighting and finishes. After a brief and survey, you review options in 3D, then receive a final layout, wall elevations showing tiles and fittings, and a bill of materials to price the work.
What it covers
- A brief covering who uses the room, bath or shower preferences and storage needs
- A survey including drainage, soil stack, window and ceiling heights
- Layout options for sanitaryware with clearances checked
- Tile layout and finishes for floors and walls
- Lighting and mirror positions planned for daily use
What you receive
- 3D visuals of the bathroom
- A dimensioned bathroom plan
- Wall elevations showing tiles, fittings and heights
- A bill of materials and quote produced with Arcvelle Studio
Suits you if
- Family bathrooms, en-suites and cloakrooms being refitted
- Small or awkward bathrooms where every centimetre counts
- People planning for easier access as needs change
Process
How the project runs
Step 1: Brief
We agree who uses the room, how, and what it needs: bath, shower, double basin, storage or accessibility features.
Step 2: Survey
We measure the room and note the soil pipe, drainage, window and any sloping ceilings that limit the layout.
Step 3: Concepts
We show layout and style options in 3D, with clearances in front of the WC, basin and shower checked.
Step 4: Development and drawings
The chosen scheme is refined with tile set-out, fittings and lighting, then drawn up with elevations and a bill of materials.
Questions
How much does bathroom design cost?
Fees depend on the size of the room, how much is changing and the detail you need, so we set them per project after the brief. Send an enquiry and we will explain the options.
Can the WC be moved?
Moving a WC depends mainly on where the soil pipe can run and the fall it needs. We check this during the survey and show what is practical, which a qualified plumber should confirm.
Do you specify the tiles and fittings?
Yes. The design includes floor and wall finishes, sanitaryware and fittings, listed in the bill of materials with quantities so they can be priced and ordered.
How much space do I need in front of the WC and basin?
A clear zone of about 600–700 mm (24–28 in) in front of a WC or basin is a common guide for comfortable use. We check these clearances for every layout option.
