Bathroom Renovation Cost
This is the big question people first want to know is the bathroom renovation cost but there are so many variables.
Over the last 6 years a combination of Covid-19, Brexit, the Suez canal supply issues, the Ukraine war, inflation, increasing labour costs and the fact that material prices have spiraled by between 25%-50% across the board in the last few years has meant the bathroom we used to be able to do for between €5,500 – €6,500 is now costing upwards of €7,500.
Your quote will depend on many things, the size of you bathroom, the quality of the products you would like installed and the amount of products that you require.
A full bathroom refurbishment for a small bathroom with standard tiles fixtures and fittings can go from around €7,000 – €8,500 + V.A.T. @ 13.5% At bathroom refurbishments Dublin we don’t use poor quality materials as they don’t last. We guarantee our work, so this just would not make sense as we would be going back replacing and repairing things. We allocate a PC sum for all items, this covers good mid range quality materials.
Below I shall try go in to a few variables that affect bathroom refurbishment costs
- Tiles, These can vary at trade price from €18 per square meter to well above €80 per square meter at the top end. Your choice of tiles will affect your quote. We allocate a PC sum for tiles and you can get some very nice ones within this amount. If you go over the PC which around 10% of our clients do then we calculate the uplift per square meter.
- Standard closed coupled pan and cistern, This is what we usually supply there are various variations we can supply, top flush, handle flush etc.. If you require something different it may affect the price.
- Baths. Would you like a fiberglass bath or a pressed steel, enamel coated one (more expensive), a standard plastic bath panel will be included but if you want it tiled, this would be an extra cost. All of these choices have an effect on your bathroom renovation cost.
- Showers. Do you have an existing shower cubicle that needs renovations or do you need one built. Obviously there is a big price difference. For example a decent set of shower doors at trade costs around €350. Do you want a standard or quadrant shower tray? The shower itself, if you want a high pressure shower with mixer valve (T-bar) or a rain forest shower valve the mixer valves themselves start at around €300 going up to around €700. A top of the range Triton or Mira shower will cost upwards of €300. With electric showers, if you have not had one installed previously this increases the cost quite a bit as we would have to put a new breaker in your fuse board to create a new circuit. Then we would have to run 10 square cable from the fuse board to the bathroom, install an isolation switch and plumb a cold feed water supply to the shower. If you want a T-bar or rain forest shower and have not had one before it is quite likely you will need a 2 bar negative head booster pump to get the correct water pressure. This would go in the hot press and have to be hard piped and hard wired. The pump itself without the labour will come in around €850 so you can see how some costs arise quickly.
- Would you like a wash hand basin and pedestal or a vanity unit?
- Do you want LED down lighters, a 100 watt globe light or are you happy to keep your existing light?
- An electric towel rail or new 3 panel vertical radiator? We can always take these out and reinstall them if you wish to keep them as a cost saving.
- Accessories. cupboards, standard or LED mirrors, types of taps these all need to be thought about.
- Do you require any painting? Door and door frames, ceilings, skirting boards or parts of your bathroom that have not been tiled
