A bathroom renovation is one of the most popular renovations in the Netherlands. But what does it actually cost? Prices vary widely, depending on the scope, the choice of materials and the contractor. In this article we list the main cost items.
Rough price ranges
For a simple renovation in which only the sanitary ware and tiles are replaced, expect on average €4,000 to €8,000. A complete renovation including a new layout, underfloor heating and a high-quality finish can rise to €15,000 or more.
Main cost items
- Sanitary ware (toilet, shower, bath, washbasin): €1,500 – €6,000 depending on the brand and model.
- Tiles and floor: €30 – €120 per m², excluding labour costs.
- Installation and plumbing: €500 – €2,500 depending on the complexity.
- Electrics and lighting: €300 – €1,000.
- Demolition and waste removal: €400 – €1,200.
Factors that affect the price
The size of the bathroom naturally affects the price, but the condition of the existing pipework also plays a role. Replacing outdated pipes is a considerable extra cost. The region makes a difference too: in the Randstad (the urban conurbation of western Netherlands), labour costs are on average higher than elsewhere in the country.
