There’s a certain magic in a bathroom that just works. It’s the kind of place that’s clean, well-lit, and everything functions smoothly. No more dealing with dripping faucets or grimacing at the sight of old tiles. If your bathroom has started showing age, a renovation in London might be needed to breathe new life into it.
At Risha Carpentry, we have years of experience in helping homeowners turn their ordinary bathrooms into spaces that make daily routines a bit more enjoyable with modern makeovers and fittings. We focus on solid workmanship, practical designs, and quality finishings that stand the test of time.
A good renovation does more than improve looks. It can add real value to your property— real estate agents often point out modern bathrooms as a big plus point in selling feature. Plus, with smarter fittings and fixtures like efficient showers or better ventilation, you might notice lower water and energy bills generated. We’ve had clients tell us how much calmer their mornings feel after an upgrade. It’s those little changes—proper storage, decent lighting, a shower that actually has pressure—that make the difference.
We keep the process straightforward. It usually starts with us coming over for a proper look around. You share with us what is not working with your space or what new features you’d like us to work upon. Then we talk through options that fit your life and budget. Whether it’s a compact en-suite or a larger family bathroom, we handle the lot: ripping out the old, sorting plumbing and electrics, tiling, fitting the suite, and all the finishing touches. We make sure every work done is meeting the local authority regulations, from new constructions to refurbishments or waterproofing. We keep all the mess contained and regulated so your home stays livable.
One question which comes to our mind before thinking about any bathroom renovation work: How much does it cost to renovate a bathroom in London? The prices varies in each and every project, depending on the size and features for the project. For a smaller bathroom or en-suite with a straightforward lesser refurbishment work—new suite, basic tiling works, and updated fittings and fixtures—we are often looking at a moderate budget of £7,500 to £12,000.
A standard family bathroom with better quality tiles, a proper walk-in shower, new vanity usually falls between £12,000 and £15,000. If you’re after something more luxurious—bespoke storage, premium stone surfaces, smart tech, or major layout changes—costs can climb to £20,000–£30,000 and beyond. London’s higher labour rates, material delivery costs, and occasional access challenges add 15–25% compared to other parts of the UK. We always provide a detailed breakdown of the budget beforehand and highlight the areas where adjustments can keep things on budget.
Starting with the bathroom often sparks bigger ideas. Many of our clients end up considering a full house renovation in London to bring the whole property up to the same standard. It’s a great way to modernise everything at once—new kitchen, refreshed living spaces, better insulation, updated wiring, and more storage. Opening up layouts or adding clever built-in joinery can completely change how a home feels, especially in older London properties.
That brings us to the other common question: How much will a full home renovation cost? For a typical three-bedroom house in London, expect budgets between £70,000 and £160,000+, though it varies hugely with the scope. A lighter whole-house refresh, minor updates to kitchen and bathrooms—might come in around the lower side of the budget. A more comprehensive job including full kitchen and bathroom overhauls and some structural tweaks often lands on the moderate range.
Bigger projects with extensions, loft conversions, or high-end finishes can push the budget on the higher side. These figures include materials, skilled trades, and permits all things added up. We always recommend building in 10–15% contingency for unexpected finds, like old plumbing issues. By phasing the work where possible, we help spread costs and keep things manageable to the extent.
The key to a successful project is choosing an expert and experienced team you can trust.
At Risha Carpentry, we pride ourselves on expert workmanship, clear communication, practical timelines, and attention to the minute details that matter. We use quality materials, and we’re big on sustainable choices where they make sense, like —water-efficient fittings, or low-VOC paints. Our clients often come back for more work or refer us to their friends because the end result just works.
