Pricing guide
Costs vary mainly with whether the job is a straightforward replacement or a new installation that needs additional pipework and outlet repositioning. Premium or manufacturer-specific fixtures and restricted access conditions typically increase time and material needs. Timing (callout and after-hours attendance) and any required compliance or certification can also affect the final quote.
New installation versus replacement
New installs often require extra piping, commissioning and repositioning, which typically increases labour and materials compared with a straight swap.
Fixture quality and requirements
Designer or premium fixtures can need custom connectors, careful fitting and manufacturer-specific commissioning, often adding time and specialised parts.
Access and site setup complexity
Restricted or confined access, or work that needs removing cabinetry or cutting finishes, usually increases setup time and reinstatement risk.
Specialist parts and installer demands
Some fixtures need specialist parts or manufacturer-certified installers, which can extend the job and add to the scope of work.
Callout, timing and after-hours work
A callout fee and the number of hours on site influence cost, and attendance outside standard hours typically increases the labour charge.
