    Garden Office with Bathroom: Cost & Planning Guide

    Adding a bathroom to a garden office adds £4,000–£10,000 to the build, depending on whether you tap into existing drains or need a Saniflo / pumped system.

    Cost breakdown

    Plumbing & drainage: £2,000–£5,000. Sanitaryware (WC, basin, shower): £800–£3,000. Tiling & finish: £600–£2,000. Hot water (instant electric): £400–£800.

    Planning & building regs

    Bathrooms inside a permitted-development outbuilding don't trigger planning permission, but the plumbing must comply with Part G and Part H of building regulations. Foul drainage usually needs a notification to your water company.
