Where you can save
- Leave the toilet and shower where they are. Moving them is €1,200 to €2,500 in plumbing before a tile goes on.
- Tile the wet areas, paint the rest. Tiling labour runs €60 to €90 a m², so every wall you paint instead is money back.
- Pick the tiles before the work starts. A tiler waiting on tiles is a day you pay for.
- Do the en-suite at the same time. One strip-out, one skip and the same fitters on site.

Our price guide for Wicklow
Typical prices for bathroom work in Wicklow, from what jobs here cost. Your own price comes in writing, after the company has seen the room.
By bathroom
| Bathroom | Typical cost | What moves the price |
|---|---|---|
| Refresh, same layout | €4,400 to €8,800 | New suite and tiles. The toilet, basin and shower stay where they are. |
| Small bathroom, 2 to 4 m² | €4,500 to €7,500 | How much is tiled, and whether the bath becomes a shower. |
| En-suite | €3,000 to €13,500 | A redo in the same layout at the low end; a full retile with the plumbing moved at the top. |
| Main bathroom, a bath or a shower | €8,800 to €16,500 | Every fixture that's added or moved pushes it up. |
| Main bathroom, a bath and a separate shower | €12,000 to €18,000 | Two wet areas to tank and tile. |
| Bath out, walk-in shower in | €9,000 to €20,400 | The waste where the bath was keeps it low; moving the plumbing takes it to the top. |
| Wet room | €5,000 to €10,000 | Timber or concrete floor, where the drain goes, the tiles. |
| Accessible bathroom, level-access shower | €5,000 to €10,000 | Rails, a seat and the door width. Council grants can pay for most of it. |
| High-spec or a luxury wet room | €16,000 to €40,000+ | A freestanding bath, premium brassware, underfloor heating, a raised floor. |
Where the money goes
| Part of the job | Typical cost | What moves the price |
|---|---|---|
| Moving the toilet, shower or basin | €1,200 to €2,500 | How far the new waste has to run, and through what. |
| Tiling labour, a m² | €60 to €90 | Floor to ceiling or the wet areas only. Good porcelain starts from about €34.99 a m² for the tile. |
| Electrics and ventilation | €400 to €800 | A new circuit for an electric shower. Always a Registered Electrical Contractor. |
| Extractor fan, fitted | €150 to €400 | Ducting through an outside wall or the roof. |
| Shower fitted where one is already | €600 to €1,500 | Electric, mixer or pumped, and the new valve. |
| Bath or basin swap on its own | €350 to €700 | If the tiles around it are sound. |
| Electric underfloor heating mat | €500 to €1,200 | The size of the floor, and a new circuit. |

Questions
Questions people ask us
How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Wicklow?
A full renovation of a family bathroom, with the layout kept, is €8,800 to €16,500 in Wicklow. A refresh with a new suite and tiles is €4,400 to €8,800. An en-suite is €3,000 to €13,500, and a wet room €5,000 to €10,000.
How can I keep the cost down?
Keep the toilet, basin and shower where they are, tile only the wet areas and paint the rest. A refresh like that is €4,400 to €8,800. Moving things adds €1,200 to €2,500 in plumbing alone.
Why do bathroom quotes differ so much?
Three things: whether anything moves, how much is tiled, and the tiles and fittings you pick. The rest is the room itself: the floor, the walls and the old pipes behind the tiles.
Do the prices include VAT?
Ask for the VAT to be shown on the written price, so you're comparing like with like.
Should I keep money back for surprises?
Yes. Keep 10 to 15% of the price back for what turns up when the old tiles come off: rotten boards, old pipework, uneven walls.
