Cost Guide

Bathroom Renovation Cost Ireland 2026: €3,150–€19,800 by Scope

Published 26 June 2026 · WEPRO Renovations

Short answer: WEPRO bathroom work starts from €499 for a limited small-bathroom scope and rises through €1,499 for a small straightforward bathroom, €5,499 for a complete bathroom package and €9,999 for a luxury package. These are genuine minimum entry prices, not the typical price of a complete bathroom. Room size, plumbing changes, substrate condition, waterproofing, ventilation, electrical work, access, product choices and disposal all change the written quote.

National price ladder

“From” means the lowest price for a small, straightforward version of that scope. It does not mean every project costs that amount, and it is not an estimate for an unseen room. The written quote confirms measurements, inclusions, preparation, materials and access for the actual property.

National averages, and where WEPRO sits

The ladder above is the entry point for each scope. This is what projects actually cost nationally, next to what other Irish renovation companies publish for the same work:

Market figures are the published 2026 ranges from Irish renovation cost guides, checked 21 August 2026. WEPRO's published range sits 10% under the market range for the same scope. Dublin runs roughly 10–15% above the national average; the rest of the country runs below it.

Cost guides by region

The bands above are national. What differs by area is the housing stock, the access and what strip-out tends to expose — which is why each region has its own guide rather than a single national number:

• Bathroom renovation cost in Limerick — Georgian city-centre rooms, University-area rental turnarounds, and the suburban estates in Dooradoyle and Raheen.
• Bathroom renovation cost in Galway — Atlantic moisture, solid stone walls, extraction specification and apartment management-company rules.
• Bathroom renovation cost in Kerry — rural and holiday-let work priced from a Tralee base, plus the two grant routes that change what you actually pay.

Prefer a fixed number before a survey? The fixed-price bathroom packages page sets out three scopes with a price, a duration and a written list of exclusions on each.

How long it takes

A standard bathroom renovation is 5–7 working days with WEPRO — strip-out to handover, with waterproofing cure times rather than labour setting the pace. Larger rooms, wet rooms, layout changes and anything found after strip-out take longer, and the dates are fixed in the written scope before work starts. Treat any quote promising a finished bathroom in two days as a quote that has left something out.

Build a useful planning budget

Before requesting quotes, write down the same brief for every contractor:

• Room dimensions and photographs
• Which fittings stay in the same position
• Products you will supply and products the contractor should supply
• Tiling extent, tile size and finish
• Ventilation, heating and lighting changes
• Access, parking and disposal constraints
• Any known damp, leaks, uneven floors or outdated services

Ask at least three suitable contractors to price the same brief. A low number is not comparable if it excludes preparation, disposal, regulated work or products included elsewhere.

What affects the cost

• Size and layout — bigger rooms need more tiling, materials and labour; moving the toilet, bath or shower adds plumbing work.
• Materials — tiles range from budget ceramic to large-format porcelain and natural stone; sanitaryware and brassware vary enormously.
• Condition — older Irish homes often hide dated pipework, rot or uneven floors that need fixing first.
• Waterproofing — proper tanking costs more upfront but is non-negotiable for a bathroom that lasts.
• Regulated work — the quote should identify who is responsible for electrical or gas work and any applicable completion documents.

A rough cost breakdown

Ask for these headings to be separated where practical:

• Survey, design and project management
• Protection, strip-out and disposal
• Plumbing, electrical work and ventilation
• Substrate repair and waterproofing
• Tiling and finishing
• Sanitaryware, brassware, screens and furniture
• Painting, sealing, cleaning and handover

Wet rooms and accessible bathrooms

A wet room is a tanked, level-access bathroom without a conventional raised shower tray. Structural preparation, drainage falls and the waterproofing system can make its scope different from a tray installation.

If the project is about accessibility or mobility, the Housing Adaptation Grant for People with a Disability pays up to €40,000, with the percentage of the approved cost decided by household income. It is administered by your local authority and must be approved before work starts — the grant bathrooms guide sets out the current income bands and the application route.

How to avoid hidden costs

1. Ask for a written, itemised quote based on the measured room.
2. Confirm whether waterproofing, regulated work and waste disposal are included.
3. Agree all materials and a layout before work starts.
4. Decide in writing how concealed defects or requested changes will be priced and approved.
