How Much Does Bathroom Cleaning Cost?
The bathroom is another common room in most domestic homes that needs a lot of cleaning. It’s simple hygiene – and so many people turn to professional cleaning services to help them make sure their bathroom sparkles.
Clean bathrooms are also seen as a courtesy to guests. And for those people who are lucky enough to have a home with multiple bathrooms, keeping up with cleaning in en suites as well as family bathrooms can be a real chore.
However, if you’re thinking about getting domestic bathroom cleaning done as a professional service, you might be worried about the cost. While getting your bathroom cleaned will be cheaper than a whole house cleaning service, there may still be a substantial cost, so it’s worth making sure you’ve done your research and understand the prices you are likely to end up paying.
Read on for our price guide into bathroom cleaning and how much you should expect to pay.
Bathroom cleaning price guide
On the table to the right of this article, we’ve included the average prices you can expect to pay to get a medium sized bathroom cleaned in various places across the country. Variations in local prices mean that where you live will affect what you’ll pay on average, with cities like London costing the most.
To get the figures in this table, we used average prices for cleaning 1 large sized family bathroom. For multiple bathrooms, expect to pay more; but for smaller bathrooms you could pay less.
Bathroom cleaning is often done on an hourly rate, with a fixed number of hours quoted. For example, if you have 2 en suites and a family bathroom to clean, a cleaning company may quote 4-5 hours to get them all fully cleaned. An hourly rate is generally between £30 and £40 for bathroom cleaning services. However, some cleaning companies may prefer to offer a fixed price quote for the entire job.
Bathroom cleaning is also often done as part of a regular domestic home cleaning service. If it’s done in this way, the prices you’ll pay will be completely different, as it’ll be part of a larger overall service. We’ve written articles on how much you should expect to pay for home cleaning services, as well as other rooms in your home.
In the rest of the article, we cover what’s included in most bathroom cleaning services, and what will affect the price.
What is included in bathroom cleaning?
Bathroom cleaning services generally include a deep clean of your entire bathroom. While you can ask your cleaner to carry out specific cleaning activities, generally all of the following things will be included:
- Deep clean of toilet and surrounding areas
- Deep clean of sink and all surfaces
- Deep clean of bath or shower and all nearby surfaces
- Deep clean of cupboards and bathroom mirrors
- Mopping and cleaning all floors
Make sure to speak to the cleaning company you choose to carry out the work to verify exactly which jobs they’re expecting to carry out. While these are standard jobs that are included in most bathroom deep cleaning services, some companies may have specific policies or work that they either include or exclude from their service.
Also, remember that it’ll make their job even easier if you’ve given your bathroom a quick tidy up before they get started. You spending 5 minutes making sure that your personal items are tidied away makes it far easier for your cleaner to get on with cleaning.
What can affect the price of bathroom cleaning?
As we’ve already said, the area of the country where you live is one factor that will affect the price of bathroom cleaning, due to variations in prices in different areas. As well as this, there are a few other things that will affect the price.
The number of bathrooms you’d like cleaned
Another common factor that will affect the price is the number of bathrooms you’d like to have cleaned. Simply put, getting more bathrooms cleaned means more work for the cleaners – which will understandably increase the cost. However, the price for getting 2 bathrooms cleaned won’t be double the price for having 1, as a substantial portion of the price will be essentially a call out fee.
The cleanliness of the bathrooms
Generally speaking, the cleanliness of the bathrooms won’t make a huge difference to the price – but in extremes, this may make a difference. For example, if your bathroom is extremely clean, or very dirty and unhygienic, this may make a difference to the overall cost of the bathroom cleaning service.
The size of the bathrooms
Much like the number of bathrooms, the overall size of the bathrooms will affect the price, as there is simply more to clean. However, it’s unusual that bathrooms are big enough to particularly add a significant amount of extra cost. So, unless you’re lucky enough to have an especially enormous bathroom in your home, generally speaking you won’t need to worry about the size of the room affecting the price for bathroom cleaning services.
Any specific requests for extras
One thing that can often affect the price is if you’ve got any specific requests for extra things to clean. For example, you may want to have the windows in your bathroom cleaned. Any of these extra requests will add to the overall price.
How do you choose a bathroom cleaner?
If you’re looking for a bathroom cleaner, you’ll want to choose a reputable, respected company that you can trust to carry out a professional service. To do this, make sure to always check the company’s reviews online, as well as ensure you’ve done your research on their website and others to verify that they can carry out the quality service that you expect.
