What's what on costs for kitchens and bathrooms

Nang Vo Kham Murng, head of resource data, and Alan Cowan, construction data analyst, both at RICS, on kitchen and bathroom fixtures and fittings costs

Worktops are one of the most hard-working ­elements of a kitchen. Granite, composite and solid surfaces are tough, durable and will give the kitchen a professional finish. Kitchen cabinets have a big impact on the budget as well as the aesthetic. They are one of the first things people see when they walk into in a kitchen and have a large influence on the feel of the room. 

Bathtubs, toilets and wash basins also come in various shapes/styles and materials. Before choosing, consider any size constraints and how the bathroom fittings will be installed. 

The following rates are for the supply and installation of domestic kitchen and bathroom fixtures and fittings and are intended as a guide to costs from basic to top-end. However, there is no upper limit to the amount of money that can be spent on fittings. Consequently, although costs for top range quality allows for a higher standard of finish and fitting out, they cannot be taken as an absolute extreme or suitable for the ‘super-luxury’ market. Prices are based on the BCIS schedule of rates online estimating data (service.bcis.co.uk/BCISOnline). 


The rates below are a guide to kitchen and bathroom costs as at 2019 Q2.  No allowance is made for sundry or related preliminaries. VAT is excluded.
