The cost of a bathroom renovation depends mainly on the current condition of the space, the finishes, and the additional options you choose. At Refresh Bathrooms, the average starting price for a complete bathroom renovation is around €4,000, including materials, installation, and finishing touches. This gives you a clearer picture of the budget upfront and helps you understand which choices affect the price. You can find more information on the page about bathroom renovations for homeowners.
What is the average cost of a bathroom renovation?
For a complete renovation of a Toilet , you can generally expect to start at around €4,000. This is not a fixed total price for every situation, because no two toilets are exactly the same. The final cost is determined by the dimensions of the space, the condition of the existing toilet, and the desired design.
For an average renovation, you can expect to include items such as a standard wall-hung toilet, wall panels, a small sink, and neat finishing touches. If you also choose to add extra elements—such as new flooring, a more modern faucet, lighting, or a suspended ceiling with spotlights—the total cost will increase further.

What is usually included in the price?
When completely renovating a bathroom, it’s important to consider not just the price of the toilet bowl itself, but the total package. The cost usually consists of a combination of materials, installation, and finishing touches.
- Plumbing fixtures —such as a wall-mounted toilet and, if desired, a hand-washing basin
- Wall and floor elements – depending on the selected version
- Finishing Touches – for a neat, polished look
- Assembly – installing and finishing all components
It is precisely this comprehensive approach that sets apart simply installing a new toilet from a complete renovation of the Toilet.
What factors determine the costs?
1. The current condition of the toilet
A Toilet that is already in good technical condition is usually easier to renovate than a space where several components are outdated. The more modifications that need to be made, the higher the total renovation costs typically end up being.
2. The size and layout of the room
Although a bathroom is usually compact, its layout does affect the amount of materials needed and the installation process. The available space also plays a role in decisions such as whether to include a hand-washing basin or additional finishing touches.
3. The chosen finish
The price varies significantly depending on the level of finish. A sleek, functional renovation is less expensive than a project with more luxurious details. Think of more modern wall and floor elements, a more refined sink, or extra attention to lighting.
4. Additional Options
Some requests go beyond the scope of a typical renovation and result in additional costs. Examples include a drop ceiling with spotlights, additional lighting, or other upgrades that give the bathroom a more luxurious look. If you want to minimize disruption, time, and material costs, take a look at what a bathroom renovation without demolition entails.
5. Work and Full Performance
When renovating a bathroom, you’re not just paying for the visible components, but also for the measuring, installation, and proper completion of the project. That’s why a price that includes installation is often a more realistic starting point than comparing individual product prices.
When do you exceed the average starting price?
The starting price of around €5,000 is primarily a useful guideline for a complete renovation. The cost will usually be higher if you choose:
- more elaborate finish
- more luxurious bathroom fixtures
- additional lighting
- a suspended ceiling with spotlights
- further adjustments due to the current situation
If you're primarily looking for price certainty, you'd be wise to consider the big picture rather than just a single starting price.
What is the difference between simply replacing something and completely renovating it?
Simply installing a new toilet, including installation, is different from a full bathroom renovation. A simple replacement usually involves replacing a single component. A complete renovation, on the other hand, involves updating the entire space, including its appearance and finishes.
That also means that the cost of a complete renovation is higher than just the price of installing a new toilet. On the other hand, you’ll immediately have a completely renovated Toilet that will last for years to come.
Why do people choose a complete renovation instead of individual projects?
Individual projects may sometimes seem more cost-effective, but they don’t always lead to the desired end result. If only the toilet is replaced while the walls, floor, and finishes remain outdated, the space often still feels dated. A complete renovation creates a more cohesive look, a neater appearance, and reduces the need for coordination between different parties.
