What your bathroom costs in Kildare
Two taps: the kind of job, and whether anything moves. The answer is the range published for Kildare.

- Electrics and ventilation add €400 to €800 on a standard job (Tile Merchant), by a Registered Electrical Contractor (CRU).
How this is worked out
The range runs from the lowest to the highest figure published for that kind of job by firms and price guides covering Kildare: Aidan Kelly Construction, QuoteHub.ie's and plumbersinireland.ie's Kildare pages, and Tile Merchant's Irish ranges. A single figure is a real job one firm priced. "+" means a source gives no top figure. Moving things adds Tile Merchant's €1,200 to €2,500 for the plumbing. None of them says whether VAT is in. The sum is ours. Prices read on 3 November 2026. It's an estimate, never a quote.

Four real jobs
What four finished bathrooms actually cost
Approximate prices of completed jobs, as Aidan Kelly Construction publishes them. The firm is in Clonegal, Co. Wexford, and lists Kildare in its service area (Aidan Kelly Construction). It counts each WC, basin, shower and bath as a fixture: the more fixtures, and the more of them that move, the higher the price.

Where a bathroom budget goes
| Part of the job | Published price | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Moving the toilet, shower or basin: plumbing alone | €1,200 to €2,500 | Tile Merchant |
| Tiling labour, a m² | €60 to €90 | Tile Merchant |
| Tiles, a m² (standard ceramic to mid-range porcelain) | €20 to €80+ | Tile Merchant |
| Electrics and ventilation on a standard job | €400 to €800 | Tile Merchant |
| Plumber, an hour | €65 to €95 | Tile Merchant |

Labour is 40 to 50% of a full renovation, Tile Merchant says. It puts Kildare, Meath and Wicklow between the national figures and Dublin's, depending on how urban the house is.

Before anyone comes to price it
- Measure the room, wall to wall, and the window and door.
- Decide if the toilet and shower stay where they are. Moving them adds plumbing.

FAQ
Questions people ask
How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Kildare?

Can I get a grant for a new bathroom in Kildare?
Not for a standard renovation. For an accessible bathroom there's the Housing Adaptation Grant (up to €40,000) and the Mobility Aids Grant (up to €8,000), but Kildare County Council paused new applications for both from 8 June 2026, except Priority 1 cases. See adaptation grants in Kildare.
What does moving the toilet or shower add?
€1,200 to €2,500 in plumbing alone, on Tile Merchant's 2026 figures. Keeping things where they are is the biggest saving there is.
Are you a bathroom company?
No. Bathroom Renovation Kildare is an introduction service run by Bartlomiej Standa, trading as Elevate Ireland. We pass your request to one bathroom renovation company that covers your part of Kildare. They look at the room, price it in writing and deal with you directly.
Who does the electrics in a bathroom?
A Registered Electrical Contractor. Electrical work in your home has to be done by one by law, and they give you a completion certificate (CRU).
