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.
Published Dublin range for this job
€5,000 to €9,000
Published Dublin prices for this job, read 3 November 2026. LN Bathroom Renovations: €5,000 to €7,000 (basic refresh, same layout (3 to 4 m²)); Tile Merchant: €5,000 to €9,000 (cosmetic refresh, Dublin).
- Tiling labour runs €45 to €80 a m² in Dublin, on top of the tiles (LN Bathroom Renovations).

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.

Levels as LN Bathroom Renovations describes them.
What's in a full one
A full refit, step by step
- Strip-out of the suite, tiles and old boxing.
- First fix: pipework, wastes and cables in the walls and floor.
- Boarding, tanking in the wet zones, then tiling.
- Second fix: the suite, taps, shower, lights, fan and towel rail.
- Silicone, a clean, and the paperwork.
Kev Decor's full renovation is fully managed: one team and one point of contact, with no separate plumbers or electricians to book.
The paperwork
What to get at the end
- A completion certificate for any electrical work, from the Registered Electrical Contractor (CRU).
- The guarantees on the shower, the valve and the tanking system.
- A written note of anything hidden: where the pipes run and where the isolating valves are.

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.

FAQ
Questions people ask
What's the difference between a refit and a renovation?
Mostly words. A refresh keeps the tiles or layout; a full refit or renovation strips the room back to the walls.
How much is a new bathroom in Dublin?
€9,000 to €11,000 for a standard family bathroom of 5 to 7 m² (Kev Decor); €9,000 to €15,000 for a standard full renovation (LN Bathroom Renovations).
Can I keep my tiles?
If they're sound and you like them. Replacing the suite only costs least; a basin or bath swap is listed at €350 to €700 (plumbersinireland.ie).
