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.
All of them
Every published price, on one scale
From Aidan Kelly Construction, QuoteHub.ie, plumbersinireland.ie, Power House Construction and Tile Merchant. Bars with no top figure are "from" prices; dots are real jobs. An average of these ranges isn't a real price, so we don't give one: the room decides it.

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.
