What does complete bathroom renovation cost in 2026?

A complete bathroom renovation costs on average € 5,000 to € 25,000; most renovations land between € 8,000 and € 15,000. A toilet renovation costs € 1,250 to € 4,500, a walk-in shower € 1,500 to € 5,000 and a partial renovation € 1,500 to € 7,500. Size, finish level and whether pipework is moved decide where you land in the band.

A complete renovation of an average bathroom usually takes 2 to 3 working weeks, from demolition to sealing. A toilet renovation is often done in a few days; a partial renovation sits in between. Bear in mind the bathroom is out of use during that period — discuss beforehand how showering and toilet use will be covered.

A bathroom renovation is multi-trade work: plumbing and installation for water and drainage, tiling, electrics (lighting, ventilation, possibly underfloor heating) and plastering or sealing for the finish. Via our request you reach companies that take this on as one coordinated job — one point of contact, one schedule.

Often yes, but discuss it with the specialist first. Buying yourself gives freedom of choice, but the installer regularly has purchasing advantages, guarantees what they supply themselves and knows for sure everything fits the pipework. In any case agree who is responsible in case of damage or a wrong size.

A bathroom renovation inside the existing home is generally permit-free, as long as you don't alter the load-bearing structure or the facade. Stricter rules apply to listed buildings and protected townscapes, and in an apartment the HOA has a say over pipes, drains and wet rooms. In doubt, check with your municipality or the online permit desk (Omgevingsloket).

Yes. Submitting a request costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Up to 3 bathroom specialists respond and you decide who to talk to — or no one, which is fine too. Prices and payment are arranged directly with the company.

Bathroom specialists in your region respond as soon as possible with a price indication or a proposal for a home survey. Because a renovation is custom work, the final quote usually follows that survey.

Yes. We verify Chamber of Commerce registration and business liability insurance before a company receives requests. Companies with recurring complaints are removed from the platform.

Your details are shared only with the (up to 3) specialists matched to your request. We never resell your data and automatically delete requests after the legal retention period. See our privacy policy.

Yes. Think of a threshold-free walk-in shower, anti-slip tiles, a raised toilet, grab rails and a shower seat. If you renovate because of a disability or to stay at home longer, an adaptation sometimes qualifies for support under the Wmo — check with your municipality's Wmo desk beforehand.

Badkamerrenovatie Direct is for renovations where several trades come together. If it's purely about laying tiles — a floor, wall or outdoor space — our sister site Tegelzetter Direct (tegelzetter-direct.nl) helps you more directly. If the tiling is part of a bathroom job, simply mention it in your request here.

Guarantee arrangements are made directly with the specialist. Ask for a guarantee on both the installation work and the waterproofing, and have the terms recorded in the quote in writing. Keep the invoice — in case of later leaks or damage it is your proof of professional workmanship.

Let us know via our contact form. We take complaints seriously: companies with recurring complaints or without valid insurance are removed from the platform.
