That's a bummer. Maybe you could remodel the room to accommodate a meter, they are petty small.
Bit of a nuclear option though unless you're refitting the bathroom anyway.
How much is your water bill?

My water bills are usually pretty similar each 6 months, around £115-£125 each time, the latest one from a couple of days ago was £99 for 6 months as the previous bill was a slight overestimation.
Pretty happy with that given the price increases. Severn Trent are thankfully one of the cheaper providers.

It's the same bill, but listed separately (South West - Wessex Water)
I think mine's about double now what it was when I moved here in 2019
Two bills here. One from southern water for sewerage and one from Portsmouth water for drinking water.
Had my first metered water bill a few weeks ago. Before the meter it was upped to £600 a year - This bill is for everything for 6 month's -£160. Most of that is the ridiculously long pipe work from combi in garage to kitchen sink. Takes two washing up bowl's full before water gets hot.
At the moment we empty the water into a bucket outside and fill water butt's up but won't do it in winter.
Got to get boiler serviced soon so will ask guy if he knows a plumber who will do small jobs. The pipe can be shortened about 20ft in loft by cutting a corner. I used to be able to do it myself.
Severn Trent water me.

Both. Essex Suffex Water, £446 last 6 month bill. Definitely went up, felt like it did when they recently merged the bill from Anglian Water.
It was that high I checked by turning off the meter outside in the street, left for 45 minutes, it didn’t move one bit. Did same again but this time the mains valve under kitchen. No change. So no leak. Misses runs our washer, dishwasher all that time
, she’s always “hunting” for clothes to wash and tell her “I’ve only used that T-shirt for one day”.
Same here. About £18 , £19. But I do actually need to check my bill as I had an email from them which Iv not read yet

Fight to get one fitted, or avoid one?
You might well be better off with a meter unless its a family of 3/4?
You'd have to look at your actual usage, plus standing charge for sewereage etc, to compare to see what the difference is.
