If you have come from our blog ‘How Much Would a New Bathroom Cost: 3 Price Points’, then you’re here because you want to know more about bathroom renovation on a budget of around £5,000-£7,000. However, if you haven’t come from our previous blog, we invite you to first read that and then come back to this blog afterwards.
Purchasing a new bathroom is a big financial commitment, but not all bathroom installation projects come with the same price tag. The cost of a new bathroom varies depending on multiple factors, those of which we discussed in our earlier blog post linked above.
The good news is that if you want to build a new bathroom in your home, there are several routes you can take, such as taking on a more budget bathroom renovation, or splashing out on a luxurious high-spec bathroom. While these varying price points are a good thing, it can make it difficult to find out what kind of bathroom you can get within your budget.
However, in this blog series, The Bathroom Place team have identified three main price points for a new bathroom. The reason for this is so that we can help you by demystifying how much a new bathroom actually costs. For this blog, we’re looking at the lower price point of a new bathroom. Discover what type of bathroom you could create with a bathroom renovation on a budget of £5,000-£7,000.
What You Can Expect For This Budget Bathroom Renovation Cost
For bathroom renovations that fall in this price bracket of around £5,000-£7,000, you can expect to receive a more simple bathroom renovation. What we mean by this is that for a new bathroom to yield this sort of price, the work won’t be too complex, leading to lower labour costs.
A fully fitted bathroom at this price is likely to include:
Like-For-Like Replacement: The elements and layout of your new bathroom will match your old bathroom.
Wall Panelling: A waterproof alternative to tiling that is regularly used for new bathrooms.
Vinyl Flooring: A more affordable flooring option that comes in sheets and is waterproof.
Building a bathroom on a budget doesn’t mean you can’t create something incredible. Even though this is a lower price point for bathroom fitting, it’s still a big financial commitment, and if you’ve been saving up for a while, you want to make sure you receive a bathroom you’ll love.

Like-For-Like Bathroom Replacement: Budget Bathroom Renovation Idea
To achieve bathroom renovation on a budget, a popular route to take is the like-for-like bathroom replacement option. But what does this mean, and how does it help to keep costs down?
Like-for-like bathroom replacement is an ideal solution for bathrooms that may look tired and perhaps a little dated but are still functional. For example, you could be perfectly happy with the layout of your bathroom – you like the size and placement of the bath, the shower works well over the bathtub, and the toilet and sink are fitted in the most logical places. A like-for-like replacement involves swapping out the existing feature with fresh, new products while maintaining the current layout.
Benefits of Like-For-Like Bathroom Replacement
Depending on how you feel about your current bathroom, this bathroom fitting method may or may not appeal to you. However, if you’re planning a bathroom renovation on a budget, like-for-like replacement offers a handful of advantages.
Cost-Effectiveness: This approach avoids the need for much plumbing work, saving considerable costs on labour and materials.
Less Disruption: With less work going towards changing the bathroom layout, renovation is easier and faster.
Easy Transformation: Replacing old fixtures and features with newer, more stylish bathroom products instantly improves the look and feel of your bathroom.
Stick to Timeline & Budget: With a simpler renovation approach, it’s easier to predict the timeline and budget of a project.
Is Like-For-Like Replacement Suitable For You
Before deciding to go down this route, ask yourself if this is right for you. Does this bathroom renovation method align with what you want to achieve? Like-for-like replacement is great for a bathroom renovation on a budget, but it’s also important to not let costs influence your decision if it leads you down a path that isn’t right for you.
For instance, with like-for-like bathroom replacement, you’re limited in terms of your new bathroom’s layout and if you’re keeping the same style as your old bathroom, you’ll need bathroom products to match this. This might not be ideal for everyone, especially if you want to be more adventurous with your bathroom refit ideas. Yet, for those seeking bathroom renovation on a budget, like-for-like could mean you can fit a new bathroom for £5,000-£7,000.
Wall Panelling: Keeping Your Bathroom Renovation on a Budget
The walling you choose for your new bathroom is so important, both in terms of look and price. If your bathroom walls are looking a little lacklustre, perhaps with wallpaper that is barely hanging on or dated tiles, wall panelling is a great alternative. This consists of installing waterproof panels directly onto your bathroom’s existing walls. Panels come in a variety of materials, patterns and styles, allowing you to change up the character and aesthetic of your space without a costly retiling project.
As well as being a more affordable alternative, choosing to add wall panelling to your bathroom means that you could benefit from a faster bathroom installation time, improved waterproofing for your walls, and walling that is easy to clean and maintain.
Vinyl Flooring For a Budget Bathroom Renovation Cost
Vinyl flooring is a type of flooring that comes in flexible sheets that are ideal for the bathroom. With this type of flooring, you’re keeping your bathroom renovation on a budget and uplifting your space with a modern touch. The great thing about vinyl flooring is that it mimics the look of wood, stone, marble, tiling and more at a fraction of the cost.
As you will be using vinyl for your flooring over more expensive options, such as wood or stone, this allows you to stick close to that price point of £5,000-£7,000 for your entire bathroom refit.
