Bathroom installation: what the job involves

Refitting a bathroom or en suite from bare walls: taking out the old suite, moving supplies and waste where needed, waterproofing and tiling, and fitting the new bath or shower, toilet, basin and taps. The plumber usually coordinates an electrician and a tiler.

How long it takes: Usually one to three weeks from strip-out to finish; longer for a wet room, moving the toilet, or waiting on tiles and a made-to-measure screen.

What bathroom installation in Mullingar costs, and why

What jobs on Talqero came to

What affects the price

Whether the toilet, shower or bath move, which changes the waste runs and floor work
Wet room or standard shower tray, and how much of the room is tanked and tiled
Who supplies the suite and tiles
The hot water system and pressure, which decide the shower and whether a pump is needed
Condition of the floor, walls and existing pipework once the old suite comes out
Electrical work: extractor, lights, shaver socket, towel rail or electric shower circuit
VAT: building work on a home is charged at the reduced rate of 13.5% by a VAT-registered business — unless the materials come to more than two-thirds of the price, when Revenue’s two-thirds rule applies the goods rate to the whole job. Ask whether a quote includes VAT.

County Westmeath: what the figures say

37.8% of households in County Westmeath live in homes built before 1981 — below the national figure of 40.7%, and the 16th highest share of the 26 counties.
Older houses are more likely to have gravity-fed hot water, attic tanks and original pipework, which changes what a repair or a new bathroom involves — mention the age of the house in your task.
