A dated, damp, and outdated bathroom discourages relaxation. Today's bathrooms are sanctuaries for wellness and rejuvenation—bright, clean, and inviting beyond basic hygiene. Updating yours requires smart budgeting. Here's a detailed breakdown of average renovation costs from experienced professionals.
Choose a walk-in shower or bathtub based on your lifestyle. A standard shower with supply and installation costs €500–€800. Add a thermostatic mixer tap for consistent temperature, up to €1,000. For a full walk-in shower (tray, walls, tiles, taps), DIY ranges €500–€900; professionals charge €2,000–€4,000.
Prefer baths? Freestanding models cost €500–€4,500 installed professionally. Corner bathtubs: €500–€4,000. Classic built-in: €400–€700. All prices include supply and installation.
Tile removal for floors: €20–€40/m². Bathtub/shower surrounds: €40–€90/m². New tiling starts at €20/m² for basic tiles, up to €150/m² for premium cement tiles.
Classic washbasin supply and install: from €60. Double washbasin with cabinet and connections: €500–€1,500. Wall-hung toilet block: from €150; installation €150–€300.
Enhance functionality with a under-sink vanity (€150–€700 for double), storage column (from €200), basic mirror (€40), or designer (€200). Installation: €25 for low cabinets to €65 for double sinks.
Minimize costs by reusing existing points. New water point: €80–€150. Electrical outlet: €80–€200 each. Lighting point: €70–€120.
In total, expect €3,000–€10,000 for a full bathroom renovation. Factor in old fixture removal at €70 per unit.
