fitted all my doors with b & q value pack silver handles... but need
to be able to lock the bathroom from inside. whats the cheapest way
of doing this? i'm not sure if i just need new handles with a knob on
to stop the handle from moving, or a new mechanism inside the door
frame. do screwfix do this sorta thing? appreciate any help!

Cheaper than a bolt is a small hook & eye. Even cheaper, but only
works with some frames, is a small piece of scrap wood with a screw
through the centre. Rotating it blocks the door from opening.

Even cheaper is a bit of dried pizza from the bin jammed under the
door as a wedge... how cheap do you want to go?

None of which would be much good for me, given that my bathroom door
opens outwards!
