Cost of your new bathroom

Read on for an overview of the typical costs involved in a new bathroom. The total price of your new bathroom will cover three main factors:

Costs for installation, dismantling and conversion
Costs for fittings such as bathroom ceramics and furniture
Costs for other equipment, for example, lighting or sound systems

In general, a new bathroom is always a good investment as bathrooms have an average usage period of 20 to 30 years. Always insist on quality and good workmanship and choose high-quality products that you will enjoy for decades to come and that will increase the value of your property.

Tip

Plan ahead and refurbish sustainably to ensure your new bathroom not only looks beautiful and feels comfortable, but is also easy-care and energy-efficient.

Costs for installation, dismantling and conversion

Many bathroom costs are determined by individual factors – for example, the cost of your dream bath, your preferred tiles or how much money you want to spend on your new shower. Budgets for material and labour costs will vary, depending on the size of your bathroom, the extent of the work required and your personal needs, if you are to design a bathroom that perfectly reflects your vision. If you are refurbishing your bathroom, you might also want or need new water connections, pipes, electrics, ventilation or heating, and this will also need factoring into the overall cost. Costs for this work may vary depending on the region and supplier.

If you install a shower or bath in your new bathroom that still looks good in ten or fifteen years’ time and still works like new, then you will have made a good a investment. The same applies if you make savings on water, electricity, heating costs and cleaning products year after year in your new bathroom thanks to farsighted planning with easy-care surfaces, water-saving taps and shower heads, and energy-efficient LED lights.

Think wisely and carefully about what you really need and want – extravagance will always come with a high price tag. Is a shower enough or would you like a bath too? How big does the bath need to be? Choose high-quality, easy-care ceramics, tiles and bathroom furniture and think “energy-efficiency” when it comes to heating and lighting. Do you dream of luxurious tiles but need to be careful with your budget? Then tile just part of the wall and plaster or paint the other areas – it will still look great!

Our tip

To save costs, you can carry out certain work yourself, for example, stripping tiles and wallpaper, and removing and disposing of your old ceramics. If you intend to keep the existing pipes and connections, make sure these are not damaged during demolition work. Painting the bathroom is another task you can handle yourself.
