Bathroom Renovation Tallaght
Bathroom Renovation Tallaght
Whether you are replacing a dated suite, converting a bath to a walk-in shower or stripping the room back and starting again, we handle bathroom renovations for homeowners across Tallaght from first survey to final tiling.
Most Tallaght housing dates from the 1970s and 1980s, and bathrooms of that era were built small, built once, and in many houses never touched since. Most of our work here is a full strip-out rather than a refresh.
Bathroom Renovations in Tallaght
Most Tallaght housing dates from the 1970s and 1980s, and bathrooms of that era share a common problem: they were built small, they were built once, and in a lot of houses they have never been touched since.
That means most of the work we do here is a full strip-out rather than a refresh, and it is worth knowing that going in.
What Is Usually Behind the Tiles
In a bathroom of this age we routinely find things that were normal practice at the time and are not acceptable now. Tiling laid directly onto plaster rather than a waterproof board. No tanking behind the bath or shower. Ventilation that was never adequate. Occasionally rot in the floor around the WC or bath where a slow leak has run unnoticed for years.
None of this is unusual and none of it is a disaster. But it is the reason a proper renovation costs more than the tiles and sanitaryware suggest, and the reason we open up and look before giving a fixed price rather than after.
The Small Bathroom Problem
Tallaght bathrooms tend to be compact, and the single most effective change is usually removing the bath and fitting a walk-in shower. It buys floor space, it makes the room feel considerably larger, and for most households the bath was not being used anyway.
Where a family needs to keep a bath, the gains come from layout instead: repositioning the WC, choosing a smaller-projection basin, and getting the door swing right. We work that out on the survey rather than in the middle of the job.
Moving Plumbing in Tallaght
The question that decides a lot of bathroom budgets is whether the soil pipe moves. Keeping the WC roughly where it is keeps the work straightforward. Moving it means new drainage falls and, in a house of this era, opening up the floor to find out what is actually there.
It is often worth doing. It just needs to be a decision made deliberately, priced properly, rather than something agreed halfway through.

Bathroom Renovation Tallaght FAQs
Why does a Tallaght bathroom renovation cost more than the fittings suggest?
Because in housing of this era there is usually work behind the tiles. Tiling laid straight onto plaster, no tanking behind the bath or shower, inadequate ventilation, and sometimes rot in the floor from a slow leak. None of it is unusual, but it has to be put right, and it is why we open up and look before giving a fixed price rather than after.
Should I remove the bath and fit a walk-in shower?
In a compact Tallaght bathroom it is usually the single most effective change. It buys floor space, makes the room feel considerably larger, and for most households the bath was not being used. Where a family genuinely needs a bath, the gains come from layout instead.
How much does moving the toilet add?
More than people expect, because it means new drainage falls and opening up the floor to see what is actually there. It is often worth doing. It just needs to be a deliberate decision priced at the start rather than agreed halfway through the job.
How long does a full bathroom take?
A full strip-out and refit is typically a couple of weeks of trades in and out rather than a few days, and longer if the plumbing is moving or if we find something behind the tiles. We give you a schedule with the fixed quotation.
