Financing a Bathroom Renovation in Ireland
How Much Does a Bathroom Renovation Cost in Ireland?
The cost of renovating a bathroom in Ireland can vary considerably. A straightforward update that retains the existing layout may require a relatively modest budget, while a complete renovation involving new plumbing, tiling, electrical work and higher-specification fittings will cost considerably more.
Some of the main factors that can affect the cost include:
| Type of cost | Things to consider |
|---|---|
| Size of bathroom | Larger bathrooms generally require more flooring, tiling and materials |
| Fixtures & fittings | Baths, showers, toilets, sinks, taps and bathroom furniture vary considerably in price |
| Plumbing | Moving a toilet, shower or sink can increase plumbing and installation costs |
| Tiling | The size of the area, choice of tiles and complexity of installation can all affect the price |
| Electrical work | New lighting, sockets, extractor fans and other electrical work may be required |
| Heating | Underfloor heating, radiators or heated towel rails can add to the overall budget |
| Labour | Plumbers, electricians, tilers and other trades should be included in your calculations |
| Structural work | Changing the layout or altering walls can make the project more complex |
