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 Wexford
Typical prices for bathroom work in Wexford, 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 | €4,000 to €8,000 | 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. |
| En-suite wet room | €5,000 to €8,000 | A standard finish. Premium, with underfloor heating and large porcelain, is €8,000 to €12,000. |
| Main bathroom, a bath or a shower | €8,000 to €15,000 | 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. |
| 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, bigger room | €15,000 to €35,000 | A freestanding bath, premium brassware, underfloor heating, a raised floor. |
Where the money goes: an en-suite wet room, part by part
| Part of the job | Typical cost | What moves the price |
|---|---|---|
| Strip-out and skip | €300 to €600 | How much comes out, and whether the floor has to be lifted. |
| Floor preparation and the fall to the drain | €500 to €1,500 | Concrete is simpler; a timber floor adds €500 to €1,500 for the joists and overlay. |
| Tanking, floor and walls | €400 to €1,000 | The membrane system, and how much wall is done. Never skipped. |
| The drain | €250 to €600 | A linear channel costs more than a square gully. |
| Plumbing: valve, pipework, waste | €600 to €1,500 | A thermostatic valve, and how far the waste runs. |
| Electrics: lights, fan, towel rail | €400 to €800 | Always a Registered Electrical Contractor, with a completion certificate. |
| Tiling, materials and labour | €800 to €3,000+ | Floor to ceiling, and the size of the tile. Large porcelain costs more to lay to a fall. |
| Glass screen | €300 to €800 | A fixed frameless panel. Made-to-measure costs more. |
| Toilet, basin or vanity, mirror | €400 to €1,500 | Wall-hung or floor-standing, a lit mirror. |
| An en-suite wet room, standard finish, all in | €5,000 to €8,000 | Premium, with underfloor heating and large porcelain: €8,000 to €12,000. |

Questions
Questions people ask us
How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Wexford?
A full renovation of a family bathroom, with the layout kept, is €8,000 to €15,000 in Wexford. A refresh with a new suite and tiles is €4,000 to €8,000. 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 €4,000 to €8,000. 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.
