How much does a bathroom renovation cost in 2026?

This mainly depends on what you want to renew. Many customers come with the idea of a complete renovation and realise during the inspection that a new bath, new walls or a shower instead of the bath is sufficient. Because we work without demolition, everything that is still in good condition remains. This is how much a bathroom of around 6 m² costs, depending on how much you renew:

From repairs to a new bathroom

For comparison: A traditional renovation with demolition costs around €2,000 to €2,500 per m² in Austria, so for 6 m² that’s €12,000 to €15,000, and takes several weeks. Depending on the bathroom and provider, our price may be slightly below or above this. The price calculator here will work out the cost of your bathroom directly.

Complete renovation: Costs by bathroom size

If the entire bathroom is to be renewed, the price depends on size and fittings. Most bathrooms are medium-sized, between 4 and 8 m², where standard fittings cost €12,000 to €18,000. The table shows the guideline values from our price calculator. Here too, we work without demolition: The tiles remain, we coat, clad or cover them.

Bathroom renovation per m²: Cost comparison

Calculated per square metre, a renovation becomes cheaper as the area increases, because travel, planning and installation do not increase proportionally. Calculations are based on 4, 6, 10 and 14 m².

Bathroom sizeStandardSuperior
Smallup to 4 m²€2,400 to €3,250 per m²€3,600 to €4,500 per m²

Very largeover 12 m²€1,550 to €2,450 per m²€2,150 to €3,250 per m²

In comparison: the traditional renovation with demolition

In a traditional renovation, tiles, screed and pipes are renewed. We do not offer this. For Austria, Hausbau Magazin quotes €2,000 to €2,500 per m², more in Vienna. A 6 m² bathroom therefore costs around €12,000 to €15,000.

For a completely new bathroom, both approaches are similar in price. The difference: With us, the bathroom is ready in a few days rather than weeks, without rubble and dust in your home. And often, not everything needs to be renewed. If you only renew the bath, walls or floor, you pay significantly less.

Individual prices: What specific jobs in the bathroom cost

Depending on the bathroom and provider, the price may be slightly below or above this; the exact price is given by the provider after the free inspection.

Frequently asked questions about the costs of a bathroom renovation

That depends on what you want to renew: from around €450 for a bath repair, around €4,500 for a shower instead of a bath, up to a completely new bathroom. A complete renovation at bazuba in a medium-sized bathroom of 4 to 8 m² with standard fittings costs €12,000 to €18,000, higher-end €18,000 to €25,000, and premium from €25,000.

Small bathrooms are more expensive per m², large ones cheaper, as travel, planning and installation do not increase with the area. For a classic renovation with demolition, Hausbau Magazin in Austria quotes €2,000 to €2,500 per m², more in Vienna.

Fully renovated with standard fittings, a 6 m² bathroom at bazuba costs €12,000 to €18,000. As a ECO-Bad with painted tiles, coated bath, vinyl flooring, as well as new furniture and fittings, it starts at around €8,000. If only the bath, walls and floor are renewed, it is around €4,300 to €8,500.

With ECO-Bad, everything that is still in good condition remains: We paint the tiles, coat the bath, lay vinyl over the old floor and replace furniture and fittings. This costs from around €8,000 and takes from 3 days. For the complete renovation, we redesign the bathroom, with a new shower or bath, new walls and new fittings. This costs from around €12,000, depending on size and fittings.

On the size, fittings and condition of the bathroom. In addition, the year of construction (before 1960 around 12 percent more), the room height for work on the walls, the floor from the 4th floor upwards, and the type of building. However, your preferences for fittings, furniture and ceramics make the biggest difference.

Coat instead of renew, only replace what really bothers you, and renovate in stages. A coated bath costs a fraction of a new one, and a bathtub door often replaces a complete conversion. Also check for grants and the tax bonus before placing your order.

In Germany, the care fund pays up to €4,180 for an age-appropriate conversion for care level, KfW loan 159 continues, and 20 percent of labour costs can be deducted from tax, up to a maximum of €1,200 per year.

„On the recommendation of a friend, we got in touch with bazuba Rostock for our bathroom renovation. Since it’s a rental apartment, there were quite a few things to consider with the landlord/owner’s approval, but we were able to implement many individual wishes at our own expense. The initial contact was very pleasant, and first, an assessment was made, and of course, the initial ideas and wishes for the project were recorded. The basic task was to transform the over 20-year-old tiled bathroom with an old bathtub into a modern seamless bathroom with a walk-in rain shower. The company’s showroom had quite a few displays, where we could get our first personal impressions. Then we put together the rest from the catalogs, and we also relied on the advice and recommendations of the boss there, who contributed some great ideas. Then we received an offer with a 3D visualization of the finished bathroom. This allowed us to work very well together with the owner and bazuba on the details and arrive at a final result. The correspondence between bazuba and the owner also went very smoothly, and we were very well informed about delivery times, construction times, and the entire process up to the finished bathroom. We helped set up the construction site by covering the floor and cabinets, and the company’s employees were very friendly and informative about the work steps. We hardly had to ask anything because every morning we were informed about what would happen that day until quitting time. The announced construction time was even undercut by 2 days because everything really fit together, and the trades worked hand in hand. The handover and the finished result, including explanations of all the components, care instructions, and warranties, worked wonderfully and were presented to us very transparently. All in all, we are very satisfied with the result, and for the small space available, it almost feels like being in a good hotel when you step into the shower in the morning 😉 I can definitely recommend bazuba Rostock and am happy to show some before-and-after pictures. It’s not decorated or furnished yet, but it’s about the raw result."

„Complete renovation of bathroom and WC — After weeks of searching online for a company that could take on our project (complete renovation of bathroom and WC), we came across bazuba. Although all customer reviews pointed to an outstanding company, we still felt the need to visit the company location in Guntramsdorf in person first. But from that moment on, it was clear to us that only this company was suitable for our project. The exceptionally warm, competent, polite, friendly, and patient team immediately convinced us. From then on, everything went very quickly. We arranged an inspection appointment with Mr. Weninger. The inspection, consultation, measuring, and addressing special requests all took place in a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The gentleman was very patient and really took a lot of time for us, only leaving once even the smallest detail was clarified. After the very detailed offer and placing the order, the renovation work began punctually on the agreed date. From here on, I have to keep it short, otherwise I would need two more pages. ALL involved, whether subcontractors or the truly outstanding bazuba specialists, carried out their tasks so competently, punctually, cleanly, almost dust-free, quickly, friendly, politely, courteously, professionally, precisely, and expertly that words almost fail me. The continuous support and (after)care of my project are also worth highlighting. After completing the very extensive work, I now have two real gems (bathroom and WC), and I find myself spending much more time there than really necessary. The conclusion of a highly satisfied and enthusiastic customer: the best 10-star company I have ever dealt with. I have recommended and will always recommend bazuba."

„Everything just fits perfectly! :o) — We had our roughly 50-year-old bathroom and the equally old toilet renovated by bazuba, and also had the shower in the second bathroom modernized. From the very first (phone) contact, we had a good feeling. Bathroom planner Raffael came to our home and went through the various measures with us, advising us well and being very patient. We were also able to discuss the price well with him, and in the end, he made us an offer that we were very happy with. We had also obtained quotes from competitors, which were significantly more expensive — we’re talking +50% and more. The implementation then went perfectly. First came the dismantling team, then the electricians, the plasterers/floor layers, and finally the assembly team. Overall, the work took almost three weeks, but that was agreed upon in advance and was therefore fine. All workers always arrived as scheduled, were very friendly, explained a lot to us, and did a great job. We were also very grateful that they pointed out some possible/necessary improvements to us. Spontaneous change requests on our part were received and implemented kindly. At the same time, planner Raffael and project manager Anel were always reachable for us and responded quickly to our questions. The result speaks for itself: from old-fashioned, dark rooms with very worn installations, we now have friendly, modern wet rooms that you enjoy entering again. The planning concept was implemented 100% in reality and at what we believe is a really fair price. No hassle with the craftsmen, quite the opposite — it was a pleasure, and we can warmly recommend the entire bazuba team."

„Due to water damage in 2023 and subsequent repair work by a specialist company, we were then looking for a company to get our bathroom back in shape. This turned out to be not so easy; local companies either declined due to lack of time or didn’t show up despite appointments. Through internet research, we came across bazuba in Karlsruhe. We quickly had a first appointment with Mr. Glutsch. He arrived on time at our place, listened to our ideas about remodeling the bathroom, and shared his professional knowledge and comments. He took measurements, made notes, and promised to prepare an offer, which arrived in the shortest time. Due to several work appointments with bazuba, he already told us in advance that the work would be delayed and we should expect a date in March/April. But that didn’t matter to us in the end, since thanks to the preliminary work of the renovation company, we could still use our 30-year-old bathroom. When choosing the ceramics and the walk-in shower, we were with Mr. Glutsch at C.Ufer in KA (top advice!). In April, the work started on our partially renovated bathroom. After about 2 weeks, we could fully use our new bathroom; for the shower enclosure, we had to make do with a temporary solution, which was replaced after 5 weeks by a glass partition from Kermi. All in all, we were very impressed by the support and advice from bazuba (special thanks to Mr. Glutsch). A big compliment to the two skilled workers responsible for the work!! Without a doubt, 5 stars for bazuba."

„Good decision! — We chose BAZUBA because of a report on an online portal... and we have no regrets! Our wishes were discussed and planned in the showroom with an incredible amount of patience. Even changes and special requests before the renovation started were implemented quickly and easily. The entire construction team also deserves mention – everyone was without exception polite and friendly. I especially want to mention Mr. Robert, who brightened every one of our site visits with his good mood. In hindsight, we can now list the following reasons why we recommend BAZUBA to everyone: 1.) The price – All other quotes were about 25% higher than BAZUBA’s. 2.) The team – As already mentioned, patience and friendliness are top priorities here. 3.) The planning – None of our wishes were considered impossible. Even special requests were gladly fulfilled. 4.) The working time – A conventional renovation would have taken at least 4 weeks and the whole house would have been dusty. BAZUBA finished on schedule in 2 weeks. 5.) The quality – Nothing wobbles, nothing is scratched. The bathtub looks like new. The walls are flawless. Every joint fits perfectly. 6.) The look – We chose a seamless bathroom. Compared to tiles, our bathroom now feels much friendlier and warmer. 7.) The warranty! All in all, we are satisfied customers and would have our bathroom renovated by BAZUBA again anytime."

„Perfect! Absolutely recommend. — Tub out and shower in! From start to finish, we can only give the highest praise. The consultant, Mr. Raffael Weninger, gave us excellent advice at home. He took our needs into account and came up with a perfect plan for us with his great ideas. The craftsmen also deserve the highest praise. They were extremely careful to avoid dust and dirt, which is not easy with this kind of work. The first two days, two careful installers took on their responsible tasks. After all, all newly laid water pipes and drains have to be completely sealed. The third and fourth days belonged to the quick gentlemen Jànos and Gàbor, who were able to complete this partial renovation on time — without taking a break! It must be said that all "our" four craftsmen are extremely friendly and hardworking. Otherwise, our project would not have been completed perfectly in this relatively short time. On the third day, the company owner visited us, checked on the progress, and asked about our satisfaction so far. That builds trust. Now we enjoy our new shower pleasure every day! We gladly recommend this company with its great employees. Warm regards! Christian & Sylvia Karner"
