The Layout
The cost of redesigning your bathroom is influenced by the layout you select. The price is much greater if your new layout requires some additional items.

When redesigning your bathroom, don’t forget to account for labour costs. This is one of the most important factors to keep in mind as most times the cost of labour is double or triple the cost of supplies.
Cost of Supplies
The entire cost of redesigning a bathroom is influenced by the price of the materials. It covers the price of new fixtures, sinks, toilets, and showers. In order to get the best specifics that equally meet your budget, you should keep this in mind.

back-to-wall toilets range in price from £100 to $250.
Rimless Toilets
