What your bathroom costs in Kildare
Two taps: the kind of job, and whether anything moves. The answer is the range published for Kildare.
Published Kildare range for this job
€4,000 to €8,800

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.

What's in a full one
A full refit, step by step
- Strip-out of the suite, tiles and old boxing.
- First fix: pipework, wastes and cables in the walls and floor.
- Boarding, tanking in the wet zones, then tiling.
- Second fix: the suite, taps, shower, lights, fan and towel rail.
- Silicone, a clean, and the paperwork.
The paperwork
What to get at the end
- A completion certificate for any electrical work, from the Registered Electrical Contractor (CRU).
- The guarantees on the shower, the valve and the tanking system.
- A note of anything hidden: where the pipes run and where the isolating valves are.

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.
- Check where the hot water comes from: a cylinder, a combi boiler or an electric shower.
- Ask for a written price that lists the strip-out, tanking, tiling, fittings, electrics and VAT.

FAQ
Questions people ask
What's the difference between a refit and a renovation?
Mostly words. A refresh keeps the tiles or layout; a full refit or renovation strips the room back to the walls.
How much is a new bathroom in Kildare?
€9,000 to €15,000 for a main bathroom with a bath or a shower (Aidan Kelly Construction); €8,800 to €16,500 for mid-range on QuoteHub.ie's Kildare page.
Can I keep my tiles?
If they're sound and you like them. Replacing only the suite costs least: a bath or basin swap is listed at €350 to €700 (plumbersinireland.ie).
