FREE QUOTATION - FREE ADVICE
A bathroom design consultation is the step before any fitting work starts - a designer comes to the house, measures the room properly, and builds what you've discussed into a 3D CAD walkthrough so you can see the finished layout, sightlines and colour scheme on screen before a single tile or pipe is ordered. It sits ahead of the actual installation work covered on the bathroom fitting page, and it's free and no-obligation, whether you already know exactly what you want or you're starting from a blank room.
It suits anyone replacing a dated suite, converting an underused bath into a shower or wet room, or adapting a bathroom for easier access, as much as it suits someone still deciding between options. If you're still gathering ideas rather than ready to commit to a plan, the bathroom ideas page is a better starting point - this consultation is where those ideas get turned into a measured, photo-real plan for your specific room, checked before you spend anything on it.
What a Design Consultation Covers, and What Costs Extra
- A home visit to measure the room and check the existing pipework, waste run and electrics
- A 3D CAD walkthrough of the proposed layout, fixtures and colour scheme before anything is ordered
- Layout planning around the bathroom triangle, door swing and clearance space so the finished room works day to day, not just on paper
- Guidance on suites, tiles, flooring and fittings, drawn from a wide supplier network rather than a fixed showroom range
- Coordination of every trade needed to fit the design - plumbing, carpentry, electrics, gas work and plastering - carried out in-house rather than passed between separate subcontractors
- Removal of the old suite and waste via a fully licensed carrier
- A written contract agreed before work starts, and a formal sign-off once the job is finished

Not Included / Costed Separately
- The cost of the sanitaryware, tiles and fittings themselves - the design visit is free, but products are quoted once you've chosen them
- Structural changes such as moving a stud wall, adding underfloor heating or extending a soil pipe run beyond the existing layout - these are priced once seen on site
- Any specialist survey work uncovered once walls or floors are opened up, for example if asbestos testing is needed in an older property - this is scoped separately if it arises
- Work outside the bathroom itself, such as whole-house rewiring or roof and loft repairs
How a Design Consultation Runs, From First Call to Handover
- Initial enquiry -- A short call to talk through what's not working in the current bathroom and what you'd like instead, and to book a free home visit at a time that suits you - no obligation to go any further.
- Home visit and measure-up -- A designer measures the room in person and checks what's already there - the position of the soil stack and waste run, where the electrics sit, and any structural quirks like sloped ceilings or boxed-in pipework that will shape what's realistically possible.
- 3D CAD design session -- Those measurements are turned into a 3D walkthrough of the proposed layout, suite, tiling and colour scheme, so you can check sightlines, door swing and clearance space on screen before committing to anything.
- Fixed price and written contract -- Once the design is settled and you've chosen your suite and finishes, a fixed price is confirmed and a written contract is signed before any work is booked in.
- Installation and sign-off -- The in-house team carries out the plumbing, electrics, carpentry, gas work and plastering the design calls for, removes the old suite and waste, and the finished room is formally signed off against the plan you agreed.
What a New Bathroom Design and Installation Actually Costs
The design consultation itself doesn't cost anything, but the final price depends on the size of the room, the layout chosen and the fixtures and finishes selected, so there isn't one figure that fits every home. The team is upfront that it isn't the cheapest bathroom fitter in the Doncaster area and doesn't try to be - the pricing reflects certified in-house trades, a written contract and a 5-year labour guarantee rather than competing purely on the lowest quote. A full, fixed price is only given after the free home visit, once the room has been measured and you've settled on a suite and finishes within the 3D CAD design.
How This Compares With a Showroom or DIY Store Design Service
| What matters | Premium Bathrooms of Doncaster | Big showroom or DIY store design service | General local fitter |
|---|---|---|---|
| Design visualisation | Free in-home 3D CAD walkthrough before you order anything | Often a paid design fee, or a design tied to buying from their own stock | Rarely offered - usually just a rough sketch or verbal plan |
| Trades on the job | Plumbing, carpentry, electrics, gas and plastering handled in-house by one team | Design staff separate from fitters, who are often subcontracted per job | Single trade - you arrange and coordinate any other trades yourself |
| Qualifications | Plumbing to NVQ Level 2/City & Guilds, Part P certified electrics, Gas Safe registered gas work | Varies by branch and by which subcontractor is booked that week | Not always disclosed or checked before booking |
| Guarantee | 5-year guarantee on labour and installation, 2-year on products, written contract signed off on completion | Manufacturer product guarantee only; installation guarantee varies | Usually a verbal agreement with no formal guarantee |
| Overheads | No showroom or warehouse rent - consultations happen in your own home | Showroom and display costs factored into the price | Low overhead, but no design or 3D visualisation service |
Why Nothing Gets Ordered Until You've Seen It in 3D
The main risk in bathroom design is spending money before you know whether a layout actually works day to day, which is why nothing gets ordered here until you've walked through the finished room on screen. The free 3D CAD session is built around your own measurements rather than a fixed sample range, so you can check the shower door doesn't clash with the sink, that the toilet isn't the first thing seen from the landing, and that a heated towel rail isn't going to end up behind a half-open door - the kind of clash that's cheap to fix in a drawing and expensive to fix once it's tiled. The design gets revised on screen as many times as it takes before a fixed price or supplier is agreed, and only then does a written contract get signed. That design work happens in your own home rather than around a fixed display range, which is part of how the visit stays free. Once a layout is settled, electrical and gas work is carried out by Part P certified and Gas Safe registered engineers, plumbing to NVQ Level 2 and City & Guilds standard, and carpentry by City & Guilds trained joiners, all working from the plan you signed off rather than reinterpreting it on site. Most new enquiries still come from people referred by a previous customer rather than from advertising, which is treated as a better measure of the work than anything that could be written on this page.

Matching the Design to Doncaster's Different Housing Stock
Design visits are based in Doncaster and run across South Yorkshire, and the advice given on the day changes more with the age and construction of the house than with the postcode itself. Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Balby, Hyde Park and Wheatley usually have a narrow box-room bathroom built onto a single soil stack, so the design has to work around a fixed waste position rather than moving it - shifting a toilet even a short distance in these houses often means an unboxed pipe run across the floor, which shapes the layout options more than the size of the room does. 1950s and 60s semis in Edlington, New Rossington and Intake tend to have a squarer room with more clearance around the stack, which usually allows a straight swap to a larger shower or a repositioned bath without touching the drainage. Ex-mining terraces in Mexborough and Denaby Main often still have older cast-iron soil stacks and suspended timber floors, so part of the home visit is checking the condition of that pipework before the layout is fixed on paper, rather than assuming the design can simply be built around it. Newer estates in Hatfield, Dunscroft and Askern usually have ensuite plumbing already roughed in at a fixed position from when the house was built, so the design generally works within those existing pipe centres unless moving them is something you've asked to price separately. Bungalows around Cusworth are a common request for a level-access wet room conversion, where the deciding factor is usually the depth of floor void available for the drain rather than the floor area itself. Consultations also reach further afield into York, Wakefield, Leeds, Sheffield, Barnsley, Rotherham, Derby and Manchester.
Bathroom Design Consultation FAQs for Doncaster Homes
How much does a new bathroom design and installation cost in Doncaster?
There's no set figure because it depends on the size of the room, the layout chosen and the fixtures and finishes selected, so a full price only gets confirmed after the free home visit and 3D CAD design. The company is open about not being the cheapest bathroom fitter in the Doncaster area and doesn't try to be - the price reflects certified in-house trades, a written contract and a 5-year guarantee on labour rather than the lowest possible cost.
Who actually carries out the plumbing, electrics and gas work in my new design?
All of it is handled in-house rather than farmed out to whichever subcontractor happens to be free that week. Plumbing is carried out to NVQ Level 2 and City & Guilds standard, electrical work by a Part P certified electrician, gas work by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and carpentry and joinery by City & Guilds trained tradespeople, so the same team that designs the bathroom is qualified to fit every part of it.
Book Your Free Design Visit Before You Commit to Anything
The sooner the room is measured and drawn up in 3D, the sooner there's a fixed price to plan around instead of a rough guess - and there's no obligation to book the installation just because you've had the design done.
