How much does it cost to have your bathroom renovated? The costs vary from 3,000 to 25,000 euros, depending on the size, materials and type of renovation. Compare quotes from bathroom specialists in your area.
The price of a bathroom renovation depends on several factors. The size of your bathroom is the most important consideration: the more square footage, the higher the costs for tiles, pipework and labor.
In addition, the chosen materials play a major role. Budget tiles cost 15 to 30 euros per square meter, while designer tiles quickly cost 80 euros or more. The same applies to sanitary facilities: a simple shower set starts around 200 euros, a rain shower system can cost 1,000 euros or more.
The condition of your current bathroom also influences the price. Does the pipework need to be completely renewed? Is there moisture damage? Then there will be additional costs.
Bathroom renovation costs (per bathroom)
You can save a lot by choosing smartly. Maintain existing pipework if it is still in good condition. Do not move your plumbing, because new connection points can easily cost an extra 500 to 1,500 euros.
Always request at least three quotes from different bathroom specialists. Price differences can be up to 30 percent for exactly the same work. Pay attention not only to the price, but also to the warranty conditions and planning.
