What your bathroom costs in Dublin
Two taps: the kind of job, and whether anything moves. The answer is the range Dublin firms publish for it.

How this is worked out
The range runs from the lowest to the highest figure that Dublin bathroom firms and a price guide publish for that kind of job (LN Bathroom Renovations, Kev Decor, Dublin Plumber 24hrs, Tile Merchant's Dublin column). "+" means one of them gives no top figure. Moving things adds Kev Decor's €1,500 to €3,000 for layout changes. The sum is ours. Prices read on 3 November 2026. Kev Decor adds no VAT; the others mostly don't say. It's an estimate, never a quote.

By the day
What the people on the job cost
| Who | Published price | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Plumber, a day | €280 to €420 | LN Bathroom Renovations |
| Tiler, a day | €250 to €380 | LN Bathroom Renovations |
| Electrician, a day | €250 to €360 | LN Bathroom Renovations |

Day rates one Dublin firm publishes for 2026 (LN Bathroom Renovations). It puts labour at 40 to 50% of a mid-range budget. A bathroom fitting company runs all of them, so you deal with one firm and one written price, not four people booked one by one.
Choosing one
What to check before you pick a fitter
- A written price, itemised. Strip-out, tanking, tiling, the suite, the shower, electrics, the skip, and VAT shown on its own line.
- Tanking, named. The wet zones waterproofed before any tile goes on. One Dublin firm prices it at €300 to €800 (LN Bathroom Renovations); it's the line a cheap quote leaves out.
- Electrics by a Registered Electrical Contractor, with a completion certificate at the end (CRU).
- Who supplies the suite and tiles, and when they're ordered. Ordered tiles can hold up the start.
- A start date and a number of days, and what happens if they find rot or old pipes behind the tiles.
- Payment stages tied to work done, not a large deposit up front.

Before anyone comes to price it
- Measure the room, wall to wall, and the window and door.
- Decide if the toilet and shower stay where they are. Moving them adds pipework.
- Check where the hot water comes from: a cylinder, a combi boiler or an electric shower.
- In an apartment, ask the management company about access, lifts, working hours and parking for the skip.
- Ask for a written price that lists the strip-out, tanking, tiling, fittings, electrics and VAT.
Dublin's homes
Dublin's bathrooms are older than most
Census 2022, our sums (CSO Census 2022). Old pipework, lead pipes and uneven walls turn up when the tiles come off in older houses; one Dublin firm puts replacing lead pipes at €800 to €2,500 (LN Bathroom Renovations). The areas page has every figure for sixteen Dublin areas.
