What moves the price
- Complexity of the job — intricate tiling or a wet room is slower to fit than a straight bathroom swap.
- Materials used — designer suites and large or natural stone tiles cost more to buy and are slower for the bathroom fitter to lay.
- Fitter's experience — a bathroom fitter who handles plumbing and tiling alike often charges more than a general fitter.
- Condition of the existing space — rotten floorboards or damp walls found once the old suite is out add repairs before fitting.
- Removing the old bathroom — taking out and disposing of the old suite and tiles adds labour and skip costs to the job.
- Any necessary plumbing or electrical upgrades — moving soil pipes or adding an electric shower brings in extra trades and time.
Services for the maintenance and repair of the dwelling prices in Ireland are up 23% over five years (CSO Consumer Price Index, Services for the maintenance and repair of the dwelling, to 2025 December). Five years ago a typical bathroom fitter would have cost about €7290 — an estimate from today's guide price and that index, not a recorded price. Source: CSO CPM18, CPM12 →

How to pay less
- Choosing a straight swap of the suite, rather than a full refit, keeps the bathroom fitter's price well down.
- Tiling only the wet areas around the bath and shower, rather than every wall, saves on both tiles and fitting time.
- Keeping the existing bathroom layout, with the toilet and shower where they are, can avoid extra plumbing costs.
- Buying the bathroom suite and tiles yourself, if the fitter agrees, can save on any mark-up added to supplied materials.
Before you book

- Any specific design ideas or preferences regarding fixtures and styles.
- Information on existing plumbing or electrical issues that may need addressing.
- A timeline for the project to help manage scheduling.
- You can ask whether the bathroom fitter is qualified for the plumbing and electrical work, or who they bring in for it.
