What does a bathroom fitter do?
Full bathroom renovations — plumbing, tiling, electrics, and fittings managed end-to-end by vetted, insured local fitters.
A bathroom fitter installs or refurbishes a bathroom from start to finish — coordinating strip-out, plastering, tiling, plumbing, electrical work, and finishing under a single point of contact. Most bathroom fitting leads are plumbers or carpenters running small crews that include a tiler, which is why a good fitter can manage a full bathroom renovation without you juggling separate trades. The work typically takes 7–14 days on site for a standard family bathroom, longer for ensuites with major layout changes or high-end finishes.
A full bathroom refit involves removing the old suite, repositioning services if the layout changes, a reskim or full re-plaster of the walls, waterproofing where wet-area showers are involved, tiling, fitting the new suite (toilet, basin, bath or shower, taps), fitting cabinets and accessories, electrical work (extractor fan, lighting, shaver socket), and finishing — silicone seals, paint, mirror. Sequencing matters as much as workmanship: services are moved first, waterproofing goes down before tiling, and the suite is fitted last so nothing gets scratched or cracked. Quality fitters get a snagging-free finish first time; cheaper crews leave cracked tiles, gappy silicone, and crooked mirrors that need return visits.

How much does a bathroom fitter cost in Ireland?
Indicative pricing — your actual quote will vary
Bathroom renovation pricing varies dramatically by suite quality, tiles chosen, and complexity — and labour is typically priced separately from the suite cost. A standard family bathroom refit (basic suite, mid-range tiles, no layout changes) runs €6,500–€11,000 all-in. A mid-range refit (better suite, good tiles, walk-in shower added) is €11,000–€18,000. A premium refit (luxury suite, large-format tiles, wetroom or freestanding bath, premium fittings) is €18,000–€32,000+. Ensuites are usually €4,500–€9,000.
Strip-out and skip hire typically add €350–€650, and the fitter's labour is usually €4,000–€8,500 of the total. Layout changes are the biggest hidden cost driver — keeping the toilet, basin, and shower where they are keeps the plumbing simple, while moving them means repositioning pipework and drainage, which adds labour days fast. Before any work starts, insist on an itemised quote that separates labour, suite, tiles, and waterproofing so you can see exactly where the money goes. All figures are indicative — your matched trader will price the job on your bathroom's size, condition, and the finish you choose.
These are indicative ranges based on typical Irish jobs. Final pricing depends on scope, materials, and urgency. On Jobiit your matched trader sends one fully itemised quote (labour, materials, VAT) so there are no surprises.

Bathroom Fitter FAQs
Can I keep using the bathroom during the work?
If it's the only bathroom, mostly yes — but with limits. A skilled fitter sequences the work to keep the toilet operational for most of the install, taking it out of service only briefly for tiling and final fit. The shower or bath is typically out of service for 5–10 days. Have a plan for showering elsewhere for that period (gym, family, friend nearby). Two-bathroom homes are easier — close one off entirely for the duration.
How long does it take?
Standard family bathroom refit: 7–10 days on site. Larger or wetroom-based: 10–14 days. Quick refresh (replace suite, no tiling, no layout change): 3–5 days. Premium refit with bespoke joinery, natural stone, complex tiling patterns: 14–21 days. Add 4–8 weeks of lead time before the install for ordering suites, tiles, and any custom items.
Wetroom or walk-in shower — what's the difference?
Walk-in shower: a level access shower with a glass screen but no door, sitting on a low-profile shower tray. Wetroom: no tray at all — the entire shower area is tiled with a fall toward a linear or central drain, the floor itself is the shower base. Wetrooms are more expensive (waterproofing membrane required, more tiling complexity) but give a seamless feel. Most modern Irish upgrades go walk-in with a low-profile tray; full wetrooms suit larger bathrooms or wheelchair-accessible designs.
What's the most common thing to go wrong?
Skipping waterproofing in wet areas. Cheap installs use cement-based adhesives only, then tile and grout, with no surface-applied waterproof membrane. Within 2–5 years water tracks behind the tiles, the joist below rots, and the ceiling below stains. Quality installs use Schluter, Ardex, or BAL membrane systems that fully waterproof the wall and floor before tiling. Insist on this in your itemised quote — it adds €300–€700 but prevents thousands in repair costs down the line.
Do I need an electrician for the bathroom?
Yes for almost all jobs — extractor fans, recessed lighting, shaver sockets, electric showers, and underfloor heating all need a Safe Electric-registered electrician (formerly RECI). Bathroom electrical work has stricter zoning rules than other rooms and certifications must be kept for property sale. Most bathroom fitters coordinate the electrician; budget €450–€1,200 for the electrical element of a typical bathroom refit.
Will my details be passed around to multiple bathroom fitters?
No. Jobiit isn't a bidding marketplace where dozens of businesses compete for your details. When you post a bathroom job, it's matched to one vetted local fitter — closest and best-rated first — who sends you a free, no-obligation itemised quote, and messaging happens in-app. Every trader on Jobiit is ID-verified through Stripe Identity and holds valid public liability insurance (minimum €6.5M for most trades).
