These valves have built-in thermostats that keep your water temperature constant, even if somebody opens a tap somewhere else in your house whilst you\u2019re showering. With a thermostatic valve, you can say goodbye to those sudden cold-water shower shocks.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Low-end showers can be as cheap as <strong>\u00a370 <\/strong>whilst higher-end showers, such as a power shower or designer waterfall showers, can cost upwards of <strong>\u00a3800. <\/strong>Power showers are some of the most expensive models on the market because they offer great water pressure, due to an integral pump that boosts flow rate. Before you buy one, make sure your boiler is compatible with a power shower, as they only work with specific boilers.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Electric showers are another affordable option. Budget electric showers cost around <strong>\u00a3200, <\/strong>whilst high-end, deluxe feature electric showers cost about <strong>\u00a3700 <\/strong>to supply and fit. Cheaper electric showers can save you money, but might leave you feeling dissatisfied due to low power. Pricier models, on the other hand, deliver a fairly hefty output.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"256\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ratedpeople.com\/blog\/assets\/2022\/07\/cost-guide-bathroom-7-waterfall-shower.jpg\" alt=\"Ceiling mounted waterfall shower\" class=\"wp-image-42216\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Waterfall shower heads can be mounted from the ceiling<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"256\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ratedpeople.com\/blog\/assets\/2022\/07\/cost-guide-bathroom-8-filtered-shower.jpg\" alt=\"Young woman using a filtered shower\" class=\"wp-image-42217\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Filtered shower heads are great if you live in an<\/em><br><em>area with very hard water<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\"><a name=\"enclosure\">&nbsp;<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Shower enclosure costs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Whether your shower is built into the bathtub, or is separate, you will have to consider shower screen costs on top.

An example of a more expensive toilet installation is the wall hung toilet. Wall hung toilets are easier to clean, and like back to wall toilets, can give your bathroom a more contemporary feel.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>However, because the cistern is hidden in the wall, you will need a wall frame during installation, so it will cost more to fit, usually around <strong>\u00a3300. <\/strong>As a result, these are often recommended for new bathrooms rather than toilet replacements, though if you can afford to budget for one, it can make your bathroom look bigger than it actually is.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Usually, a toilet installation takes between two and three hours, with a simple, standard toilet installation costing around <strong>\u00a3300. <\/strong>However, you should price this up if there is a more complex installation involved, and adjust prices according to where you live too.

Look out for ceramic basins if you\u2019re on a budget, as these are the most affordable yet durable option. Glass, stone, and stainless steel materials will inevitably cost you more, but will also be more hard-wearing.

You\u2019ll need to consider the cost of buying paint, and potentially hiring a painter (if you don\u2019t want to DIY), but this will definitely be cheaper than the cost of buying and fitting a full wall of tiles.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><em>Dispose of items yourself. <\/em>If you have the means to, disposing of your old bathroom items yourself will save you from having to pay the removal fee. In fact, you could even try and sell it, especially if it\u2019s still in a decently good condition. Auction sites are a great place to sell your old fittings, allowing you to get back some of the money you are spending on your renovation.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><em>Keep the layout the same. <\/em>Keep the layout the same. As you may have already gathered, moving things around leads to additional plumbing work that can make your project turn expensive, fast. If you can keep the general layout of your bathroom the same, this is the most important money-saving tip you should follow.<\/li>\n\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<p>Lastly, always spend as much as you can afford to. A cheap alternative might <em>look <\/em>the same as a more expensive one, but cheap materials are more likely to age fast or crack. Buying better quality materials will always save you money in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\"><a name=\"design\">&nbsp;<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to design a good bathroom<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Designing your bathroom might just be the trickiest part, especially if you\u2019ve never done it before, or don\u2019t have a clue where to begin.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"494\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ratedpeople.com\/blog\/assets\/2022\/07\/cost-guide-bathroom-18-design.jpg\" alt=\"Black and white sketch of a bathroom.\" class=\"wp-image-42240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2022\/07\/13134256\/cost-guide-bathroom-18-design.jpg 740w, https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2022\/07\/13134256\/cost-guide-bathroom-18-design-497x332.jpg 497w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Designing your bathroom is just as important as picking the right materials<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>That\u2019s why lots of people choose to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ratedpeople.com\/local-bathroom-design\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hire a bathroom design specialist<\/a>, as they prefer to feel in safe hands with a professional. Over at Rated People, you can find the right tradesperson to do the job for you.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s probably a good idea to have a general sense of what you might want your bathroom to look like. The below tips and benefits will help you decide on your perfect bathroom.<\/p>\n\n\n<ol style=\"list-style-type:1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li><strong>Get rid of the grey!<\/strong><\/li>\n\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<p>Many people associate bathrooms with all-white or dark colour palettes like black and grey, but your bathroom can really benefit from a pop of colour. Colourful tiles or paint, as well as eye-catching accessories, can bring your bathroom to life.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Certain colours evoke particular feelings, like a calming blue, and can help you create the exact atmosphere you\u2019re looking for. Picking a shade can be tough, though, considering the tons of options available. We recommend you look through some examples to find the right splash of colour for you.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Consider also:<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>An ombre effect, where the colour gets gradually lighter<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Using stencils to add colourful patterns to your walls<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Match colours that are famously good together, such as black and gold<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" style=\"list-style-type:1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li><strong>Good lighting is your friend<\/strong><\/li>\n\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<p>The right lighting is important for the perfect bathroom design. Here, the key is pointing light in the right places, with lights that stand out and look stunning.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>You might think that your lights are just there for a practical purpose, but the lights you choose can, in themselves, be decor. Turn your lights into custom pieces that draw the eye and elevate the overall design of your bathroom.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>The internet is full of bathroom light ideas for you to make the most of. Hanging pendant lights are particularly popular.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Consider also:<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>Making the most of your bathroom\u2019s natural light, such as by installing an additional skylight<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Using \u201cdaylight\u201d bulbs, \u201ccool white\u201d bulbs or \u201cbright white\u201d bulbs with colour temperatures of 5000K-6000K or 3500K-4100K, which are considered the best for bathrooms<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Add more mirrors, which spread light throughout the room (and make your bathroom seem bigger than it is)<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" style=\"list-style-type:1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li><strong>Opposites attract<\/strong><\/li>\n\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<p>Pairing different textures and materials can truly make your bathroom look unique. The trick to getting this right is making sure you don\u2019t overdo it. To avoid this, stick to a specific colour\/design palette, and don\u2019t try to mix <em>too <\/em>many tones together.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ratedpeople.com\/blog\/assets\/2022\/07\/cost-guide-bathroom-19-tiles.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2022\/07\/13134517\/cost-guide-bathroom-19-tiles.jpg 740w, https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2022\/07\/13134517\/cost-guide-bathroom-19-tiles-468x332.jpg 468w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Colourful tiles can give your bathroom the splash of colour it needs to stand out<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>Doing this will also allow you to pair lower and higher price tag materials together.
