The short answer
How long a bathroom takes: the short answer
A standard bathroom renovation in Wicklow takes six days to two weeks from the strip-out to the final clean. A straightforward bathroom, supplied and fitted, can be done in six working days. Most run one to two weeks from strip-out to finish.
Stage by stage
The stages, in order
| Stage | Days |
|---|---|
| Strip-out and skip | Day 1 |
| First fix: pipes, wastes, cables | Days 2 to 3 |
| Boarding and tanking, then drying | Days 3 to 5 |
| Tiling floor and walls | Days 5 to 8 |
| Second fix: suite, shower, lights, fan | Days 8 to 9 |
| Silicone, snagging, clean | Day 10 |
Tanking and screed have to dry before tiling. That's where days slip.
Before day one
The weeks before it starts
- Pick and order the tiles and the suite first. Tiles that have to be ordered in can take one to two weeks.
- A made-to-measure shower screen or vanity can take longer. Order it at the start.
- A grant job waits for the council's approval before anything starts.
Without a bathroom
Living with one bathroom
The room is out of use for the whole job. Ask whether the toilet can go back in at the end of each day, and for how many days there'll be no shower.
