Bathroom Renovation Package Deals in Dublin: What’s Included, What’s Not, and How to Avoid Hidden Costs

Summary

Bathroom renovation package deals in Dublin typically start from €9,000 for a standard family bathroom and include full strip-out, plumbing, electrical, tiling, sanitaryware, and labour — completed in 7 working days. A genuine package deal covers everything from removing the old bathroom to fitting the last tile.

The best bathroom renovation packages in Dublin give you a fixed, all-inclusive price after a free home survey — no extras, no surprises. This guide explains exactly what a new bathroom package should include, compares budget vs standard vs luxury options, and tells you what to ask before proceeding.

Introduction

“Package deals” in bathroom renovations can mean very different things depending on who you’re talking to. One company’s €6,000 package might cover labour only — no tiles, no sanitaryware, no plumbing. Another company’s €9,000 package covers absolutely everything from strip-out to polish.

If you’re a Dublin homeowner looking at bathroom renovation packages, the price isn’t the number that matters most. What matters is what’s included in that price.

This guide pulls apart what a proper bathroom renovation package should contain, what the common exclusions are, and how to make sure the price you’re quoted is the price you’ll pay.

What Should a Bathroom Renovation Package Include?

A genuine all-inclusive bathroom renovation package in Dublin should cover every stage of the process. Here’s the full checklist:

Labour & Installation

• Complete strip-out and removal of old bathroom (including disposal)
• All plumbing work — hot water, cold water, waste pipes
• All electrical work — lighting, extractor fan, heated towel rail, shaver socket
• Wall preparation — plastering, levelling, making good
• Floor preparation — levelling, underlay where needed
• Full tanking and waterproofing of all wet areas
• Professional tiling — walls and floor
• Fitting of all sanitaryware — toilet, basin, bath or shower, taps
• Grouting, sealing, final fix, and clean-up

Materials & Products

• Tiles (walls and floor)
• Sanitaryware — toilet, basin, bath or shower tray
• Taps and mixers
• Shower valve and head
• Towel rail (heated or standard)
• Bath panel (if applicable)
• Shower screen or enclosure
• All plumbing materials (pipes, fittings, valves)
• All electrical materials (cabling, switches, extractor fan)

Key fact: In a genuine bathroom renovation package deal, the only thing the homeowner should need to provide is access to the bathroom. Everything else — labour, materials, tiles, sanitaryware — is covered in the fixed price.

6 Hidden Costs to Watch For in Bathroom Packages

Not every “package deal” is created equal. These are the most common costs that get excluded from headline prices in Ireland.

1. Skip Hire and Waste Disposal

Ripping out an old bathroom generates a lot of rubble, tiles, and broken sanitaryware. Some companies quote the installation but charge separately for a skip. A proper package includes all waste removal and disposal.

2. Plumbing Upgrades

If your existing pipework is outdated (galvanised steel, lead, or imperial-size copper), it may need to be replaced before the new bathroom can be connected. Some packages exclude this as an “unforeseen cost.” Ask upfront.

3. Electrical Certification

Bathroom electrical work in Ireland must comply with ET 101 regulations and be signed off by a RECI-registered electrician. Some packages include the work but exclude the certification fee. Confirm it’s included.

4. Tiles Supplied Separately

Some bathroom companies quote a labour-only package and expect you to buy your own tiles. This sounds flexible, but it often leads to delays (wrong tiles ordered, delivery issues) and finger-pointing if things don’t fit.

5. VAT

In Ireland, the standard VAT rate on construction services is 13.5%. Some companies quote prices excluding VAT, which adds €1,215 to a €9,000 job. Always ask: “Is that price including VAT?”

6. Making Good Outside the Bathroom

If the work involves moving a radiator, patching a landing ceiling, or repainting a door frame — some companies will charge extra for anything outside the bathroom itself. Clarify the boundary before work starts.

What to ask: “Is this quote fully inclusive of labour, materials, tiles, sanitaryware, waste removal, electrics, and VAT? Is there anything at all that could be added on top?”

What Does a New Bathroom Actually Cost in Ireland?

Here’s a realistic breakdown of where your money goes in a standard €9,000 bathroom renovation:

Item	Approximate Cost
Strip-out, disposal, and skip	€400 – €600
Plumbing (labour + materials)	€1,200 – €1,800
Electrical (labour + materials)	€400 – €700
Wall & floor prep, plastering	€500 – €800
Tanking & waterproofing	€300 – €500
Tiles (supply + fitting)	€1,500 – €2,500
Sanitaryware (supply + fit)	€1,500 – €2,500
Grouting, sealing, final fix	€200 – €400
Project management & coordination	Included in labour

This gives Dublin homeowners a clear picture of value — and makes it obvious when a “package deal” at €5,000 is cutting corners somewhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a bathroom renovation package deal?

A bathroom renovation package deal is a fixed-price offer that covers the complete renovation of your bathroom — strip-out, plumbing, electrical, tiling, sanitaryware, and all labour — for one agreed price. In Dublin, standard packages start from €9,000 for a full bathroom. The key advantage is price certainty: you know exactly what you’ll pay before work begins.

How much is a new bathroom in Ireland in 2026?

A new bathroom in Ireland in 2026 costs between €9,000 and €15,000 for a standard family bathroom. This includes all labour, materials, tiles, and sanitaryware. Budget options start around €5,000 (cosmetic refresh only), while premium or luxury bathrooms can cost €15,000 to €25,000+ depending on fixtures and finishes.

Are bathroom renovation packages worth it?

Yes — if the package is genuinely all-inclusive. A good package deal removes the risk of cost overruns and gives you a single point of accountability. The risk comes when packages exclude key items (tiles, electrics, waste removal) and the final cost ends up higher than a straightforward fixed quote. Always ask for a detailed breakdown.

How long does a package bathroom renovation take?

A standard package bathroom renovation in Dublin takes 7 working days. Day 1 is strip-out, Days 2–3 are plumbing, electrical, and prep, Days 4–5 are tiling, Day 6 is sanitaryware fitting, and Day 7 is final fix and handover. You should have a working bathroom again by the end of the week.

Can I choose my own tiles and sanitaryware in a package?

Most reputable bathroom renovation companies will let you choose your tiles and sanitaryware within an agreed budget. Some offer a selection from their preferred suppliers (which keeps the price fixed), while others allow you to source your own — though this can introduce delays and compatibility issues. Ask how selections work before committing.
