vs UK average
A bathroom fitter working in South East typically charges £275–£460 a day (£34–£58 an hour), ex VAT — 15% above the UK average of £320 a day. The commuter belt carries a clear premium — strong renovation demand from Surrey, Kent, Sussex and the Home Counties keeps diaries full, and many trades here can pick and choose their jobs.
Bathroom fitting rolls several trades into one person or a small team, which is why full renovations are priced per bathroom. The day rate applies to the fitter's time on extras, repairs and part-jobs.
