Bathroom Renovation
Dublin
If you're searching for a Bathroom Renovation Dublin company that treats your home with the same respect you do, Bath Craft is the team you have been looking for. We know that a renovation can turn a family home upside down for weeks, so we build the whole job around minimising that disruption: clear scheduling, protected floors, and a crew that communicates instead of disappearing for days at a time. Whether you need a full strip-out, a wet room conversion, or a smaller refresh before selling, our approach stays the same: honest pricing, proper waterproofing, and a finish that still looks sharp five years from now.

Comprehensive Bathroom Renovation Services
We transform family bathrooms into spaces that work for everyone: durable enough for children, easy to keep clean, and designed with proper storage so nothing ends up piled on the windowsill. Every project below can be booked on its own, or combined into a single full renovation, depending on what your bathroom actually needs rather than what a standard package includes.
Full Bathroom Renovations
A complete strip-out and rebuild, from design and layout to the final sealant line. We handle demolition, first-fix plumbing and electrics, boarding, tiling and fit-out under one schedule, so you're not chasing separate tradespeople or waiting weeks between phases.
- Design guidance and layout planning
- Rip-out, disposal and prep
- Fit-out with tidy finishing
Wet Rooms & Walk-In Showers
Level-access showers and drainage systems built to Irish building regulations, with the fall calculated properly so water actually reaches the drain instead of pooling at the threshold. Popular for downstairs shower rooms and for homeowners planning ahead for accessibility.
- Flat, drainable shower bases
- Frameless enclosures and screens
- Slip-resistant tile choices
Tiling & Waterproofing
Precise, level board systems fitted and fully tanked before a single tile is laid. Most Dublin bathroom failures come from poor waterproofing hidden behind a nice-looking wall, so this stage gets as much attention as the finish everyone sees.
- Tanking to wet zones and floors
- Straight grout lines, no lippage
- Silicone finishing and sealing
Plumbing & Electrics
Coordinated trades so nothing is left half-finished or waiting on a callback from someone else's diary. Isolation valves, extraction, and circuit work are planned into the schedule from day one, not bolted on when a problem turns up.
- Timed trades, less disruption
- Safe, compliant rewiring
- Heated rails, lighting, fans
Accessibility Upgrades
Bathrooms built for ageing in place, without the clinical, hospital look many older adaptations end up with. We work from an occupational therapist's report where one exists, or talk through needs directly with your family.
- Low-threshold showers and seating
- Grab rails and handheld sets
- Comfort-height fixtures
Targeted Refresh
Not ready for a full renovation? We refresh what's tired without a full strip-out, which suits homeowners preparing to sell or simply not ready for months of disruption. Small changes, properly executed, can transform how a bathroom feels day to day.
- New vanity, taps and accessories
- Re-grout, re-seal, re-hang
- Lighting and ventilation upgrades
A Family-Friendly Renovation Process
We designed each step to be clear, calm and collaborative, because most of our clients only renovate a bathroom once every ten or fifteen years.
-
Survey and measurements
We visit the property, take accurate measurements, and talk through what you actually need rather than what's easiest for us to fit. We discuss your household routine, school runs, nap times and which fixtures matter most, so the layout we propose reflects real life, not a showroom display.
-
Transparent scheduling
We provide a day-by-day breakdown of activities, outlining when trades arrive, which days will be noisy, and when the messy demolition work happens, so there are no surprises halfway through the week. You'll know in advance if the water needs to be shut off, and for how long.
-
Respectful installation
We arrive on time, set up dust containment sheeting, and protect your floors and hallways with temporary covering before a single tool comes out of the van. We work efficiently and quietly wherever the job allows, and we clean down at the end of every single day, not just at the end of the job.
-
Snag and handover
At handover, we walk you through every detail: how your new shower door works, where the isolation valves are located, and how to maintain your underfloor heating or extractor fan. Any small snags are logged and closed out before we consider the job finished. You'll receive a full guarantee pack and a direct contact for any questions afterwards, not a call centre number.
Rathmines
Full renovation, semi-d bathroom
Wet room conversion with new tiling and a rebuilt stud wall. Original cast iron pipework was replaced throughout, which added two days to the schedule but removed a recurring leak the homeowners had lived with for years.
Drumcondra
Ensuite refresh, period house
Vanity, tiling and heated rail replaced without touching the layout. A quick project scheduled around the homeowners working from home, completed with only one genuinely noisy day.
Clontarf
Coastal home main bathroom
Full strip-out with new plumbing runs and moisture-resistant boarding, chosen with the coastal humidity in mind so the finish holds up better over time than the original build.
Sandyford
Apartment shower room
Compact layout redesigned to fit a larger shower and better storage, with access coordinated through the management company for lift bookings and working hours.
Donnybrook
Family bathroom, two children
Durable, easy-clean surfaces chosen with a young family in mind, including slip-resistant flooring and a bath and shower combination to suit both toddlers and adults.
Dublin 4
Double vanity main bathroom
Twin sinks, feature lighting and a fully tiled shower niche, finished to a premium specification chosen by the homeowners during the design stage of their survey.

Local Bathroom Fitters Who Know Dublin Housing Stock
Bath Craft has spent over a decade renovating bathrooms in Dublin homes, from red-brick terraces in Rathmines and Drumcondra to newer builds in Blanchardstown and Lucan. That range matters, because a bathroom renovation in a 1930s semi-d comes with different challenges than one in a 2005 apartment: older cast iron soil pipes, uneven floor joists, and shared plumbing risers all change what's actually possible in a given space.
We built our reputation as a Bathroom Renovation Dublin company on repeat referrals rather than advertising spend, which means every job has to hold up to scrutiny from someone's neighbour, sibling, or colleague. That's part of why we insist on proper waterproofing and honest scheduling: a rushed job might look fine on handover day, but it's the calls three months later that actually damage a business.
Most of our clients are homeowners renovating a family bathroom for the first time in a decade or more, so we don't assume any prior knowledge of the process. If a term like tanking, isolation valve, or falls to waste doesn't mean anything to you yet, we'll explain it in plain terms during your survey, not bury it in a quote you're expected to just trust.
We keep our team small and directly employed rather than subcontracting each trade out to a different company. That means the person who surveys your bathroom is generally the same person accountable for the finished result, and there's one point of contact throughout, not a rotating cast of subcontractors passing the job between them.
Bathroom Specialist vs General Builder
A general builder can absolutely renovate a bathroom, but it's usually one of many jobs on their books rather than the core of their business, and that shows up in the details.
Where a specialist tends to differ
Waterproofing methods, tile levelling systems, and shower drainage falls are things we handle daily, so the small decisions that separate a good bathroom from a mediocre one happen automatically rather than being an afterthought. We also tend to move faster, simply because we're not splitting attention across an extension, a kitchen, and a bathroom on the same week.
When a general builder makes more sense
If your bathroom renovation is part of a much larger job, such as a full extension or a whole-house rewire, it can make sense to have one main contractor overseeing everything. In that case, we're also happy to work as a subcontracted specialist under your builder's schedule.

Estimate Your Renovation Range
Select a few options to see an approximate range. For an exact quote, we'll confirm materials and scope during a site survey. No two Dublin bathrooms cost the same to renovate, since the age of the house, the condition of the pipework, and access to the property all play a part.
What actually affects your price
Existing pipework: Older Dublin homes often need soil pipes or supply lines relocated, which adds labour before any tiling begins.
Structural changes: Moving a stud wall or converting a shower into a wet room adds cost, but often solves a layout problem no amount of tiling can fix.
Fixtures and finish: A mid-range vanity and a hand-finished stone one carry very different price tags, and this is usually where quotes vary most.
ⓘ This estimator is a guide. Older homes may require additional prep (leveling, pipework relocation, ventilation upgrades).

Homeowners Who Value a Proper Finish
The details matter: clean grout lines, secure fittings, good drainage, and a respectful team in your home. Here's what recent clients across Dublin had to say once the dust had settled.
The site was kept tidy every single day. The tiling lines are perfect, the niche is exactly how we described it, and the team communicated clearly with no surprises.
Wet room conversion done right. Our accessibility needs were explained clearly and the fall to the drain is genuinely level, no puddling at all.
Everything felt professional: quote, schedule and the finish. They protected the floors, kept noise reasonable, and the final bathroom feels like a boutique hotel. We would recommend without hesitation.
We were nervous about a wet room in an apartment, worried about leaks below us. Bath Craft explained the tanking process clearly and even showed us photos of the membrane before it was covered.
Our budget was modest and they were upfront about what that would and wouldn't cover, rather than overpromising. The finished bathroom looks far better than the price would suggest.
Two young kids in the house and the team worked around school pickup every single day without complaint. Genuinely can't fault the communication from start to finish.
Why Choose Bath Craft for Your Dublin Bathroom Renovation?
Bathrooms are unforgiving spaces. A poor decision behind the tiles doesn't show up for months, sometimes years, by which point it's a far bigger and more expensive job to fix. We prioritise proper waterproofing, correct adhesives for the substrate involved, and clean, respectful finishing on every job we take on, whether it's a full renovation or a single-day repair.
Public liability insurance
Cover for the full duration of your job
Workmanship warranty
Backed support after handover
VAT registered
Clear, compliant paperwork throughout
Snag and handover
Clean site, clear care instructions
If you'd like to see our insurance certificate or a sample written quote before booking a survey, just ask. We'd rather answer questions upfront than have you find out something the hard way once work has started.
The People In Your Home
A small, directly employed team means fewer strangers coming and going, and one consistent standard of finish across every job.
Site lead
Runs the survey, agrees the schedule with you directly, and is on site for the key stages of every renovation from first strip-out to final snag.
Plumbing & electrical trades
Fully qualified and insured, working to current Irish building regulations for anything touching water supply, drainage, or the electrical circuit.
Tiling & finishing specialists
Focused purely on waterproofing, tiling and the final details that separate a good bathroom from one that looks slightly off the moment you notice an uneven line.
Choosing Finishes That Actually Last
We're happy to source and fit whatever you've already chosen, but if you're starting from scratch, here's how we usually guide the conversation during a survey. None of this is about pushing the most expensive option, it's about which choices tend to hold up in daily use and which ones look good in a showroom but disappoint within a year or two.
Tiles
Porcelain holds up better than ceramic in wet floors and sees far less staining over time. Large-format tiles reduce grout lines, which means less to clean, though they need a properly level substrate to sit flat.
Vanities and worktops
Solid surface and composite stone worktops resist chipping around the sink cutout far better than laminate, which matters most in a busy family bathroom used several times a day.
Taps and fittings
Solid brass fittings with a ceramic disc cartridge cost more upfront but rarely develop the drips and stiff handles that cheaper chrome-plated plastic fittings do within a few years.
Renovation, Refresh, or Repair? How to Tell Which You Need
Not every tired bathroom needs a full renovation, and we'd rather tell you that upfront than sell you more work than the room actually requires.
Signs a repair will do
A dripping tap, a loose tile, or perished silicone around the bath are usually isolated issues. If the layout works and there's no sign of water getting behind the tiling, a targeted repair can add years of life for a fraction of the cost.
Signs a refresh makes sense
Dated colours, an ageing vanity, or grout that's gone grey despite regular cleaning often point to a refresh: new surfaces and fittings within the existing layout, without touching pipework or walls.
Signs you need a full renovation
Soft or spongy flooring, recurring damp smells, a shower that never quite drains, or a layout that hasn't worked for your family in years are all signs the problem sits deeper than the surface, and a proper renovation will save money over repeated repairs.

Quick Answers, No Waffle
If you have a specific question later, such as pipe layout or apartment constraints, we'll cover it during the survey.
Most full renovations take 10 to 15 working days depending on layout changes, wall-building and drying times for tiling and waterproofing.
Standard like-for-like renovations generally don't require planning permission from your local authority. Structural changes, extending into another room, or moving soil pipes may need building regulation compliance, which we'll flag clearly during the survey rather than leaving you to find out later.
We tank all wet zones with a fully bonded waterproof membrane before tiling, rather than relying on grout and silicone alone.
We agree a written stage-payment schedule tied to milestones. No full payment is ever requested upfront.
We can supply everything, or fit sanitaryware and tiles you've already chosen. Either way, we'll confirm exact specifications in your written quote.
We seal off the work area, use dust containment sheeting, and remove debris daily so the rest of the home stays liveable throughout.
Sometimes, though discontinued ranges can make an exact match impossible. Where a perfect match isn't available, we'll suggest a complementary tile rather than a mismatched patch.
For a single-bathroom home, we plan the schedule to minimise days without water access and can often arrange a temporary shower or toilet solution if needed. For homes with a second bathroom, this is rarely an issue.
Yes. Workmanship is covered by our guarantee, and manufacturer warranties on fixtures and fittings are passed on directly to you at handover.
We typically start new projects two to four weeks after a survey, though this can extend during busier periods. Booking your survey early gives you the most flexibility over start dates.
Local authority grants can sometimes contribute toward accessibility adaptations such as level-access showers or grab rails, subject to eligibility criteria and a means test. We can point you toward the relevant local authority scheme, though the application itself is handled directly between you and the council.
