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. |
