Published Meath range for this job
€9,000 to €16,000
Published figures for this job from sources covering Meath, read 3 November 2026. Tile Merchant: €9,000 to €14,000 (full mid-range renovation, 4 to 5 m², same layout); Tile Merchant: €9,000 to €16,000 (full mid-range renovation (Ireland)). None of them says whether VAT is included.

How this is worked out
The range runs from the lowest to the highest figure published for that kind of job by Tile Merchant's 2026 guide and the Meath pages of QuoteHub.ie and plumbersinireland.ie. A walk-in shower is priced as part of a full renovation, because no source covering Meath publishes a bath-to-shower figure on its own. "+" means a source gives no top figure. Moving things adds Tile Merchant's €1,200 to €2,500 for the plumbing. None of them says whether VAT is in. The sum is ours. Prices read on 3 November 2026. It's an estimate, never a quote.
The rule
The one rule that costs people the grant
