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.
