Kev Decor adds no VAT; the others mostly don't say. It's an estimate, never a quote.

Cheaper
How to keep it affordable
- Keep the layout. Moving the toilet, basin or shower adds €1,500 to €3,000 (Kev Decor).
- Tile the wet zones fully and the rest less. Tiling labour is €45 to €80 a m² in Dublin (LN Bathroom Renovations), so every square metre counts twice: tiles and fitting.
- Swap, don't rebuild. A bath or basin swap is listed at €350 to €700 (plumbersinireland.ie).
- Never skip the tanking. It's €300 to €800 (LN Bathroom Renovations). A leak under a shower costs far more.
- Book in a quiet month. Kev Decor names January to March and September to November as quieter, with shorter lead times.
