What moves the price
- Complexity of the job — moving a toilet or shower to a new spot means rerouting soil and waste pipes, which takes far longer than a like-for-like swap.
- Materials used — the taps, valves, shower and pipe fittings you choose for the bathroom set much of the materials bill.
- Plumber's experience — a bathroom specialist charges above a general plumber for the same hours.
- Condition of existing plumbing — corroded pipes, old valves or hidden leaks found behind the bath or toilet add work to the job.
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 plumbing would have cost about €570 — an estimate from today's guide price and that index, not a recorded price. Source: CSO CPM18, CPM12 →

How to pay less
- Keeping the toilet, shower and basin in their current positions avoids moving soil and waste pipes, the dearest part of bathroom plumbing.
- Grouping several bathroom plumbing jobs, like a dripping tap and a running toilet, into the same visit costs less than separate call-outs.
- Supplying your own taps, shower and toilet can cost less if you find a good price, as long as the plumber agrees they suit the job.
- Fixing a small leak early, before it damages the floor or ceiling below, costs far less than the repairs afterwards.
- Clearing the bathroom and removing old fixtures yourself before the plumber arrives can cut the plumber's labour time.
Before you book
- Access to the bathroom where work will be performed.
- Information on existing plumbing issues or specific requirements.
- Any design preferences or choices for fixtures, if applicable.
- You can ask the plumber about other bathrooms they have plumbed, and whether they handle both first fix and second fix.
- Agree who turns off the water, how long the bathroom will be out of use and when the water will be back on.
- Tell the plumber which fixtures are staying and which are being moved, so the pipework can be planned before the day.
- You can ask whether the plumber is qualified, and how they will keep the water and electrics in the bathroom safe during the work.
