€4,000 to €8,800
Published figures for this job from sources covering Meath, read 3 November 2026. Tile Merchant: €4,000 to €8,000 (cosmetic refresh, same layout); Tile Merchant: €4,500 to €7,500 (small bathroom refresh, 2 to 4 m², same layout); QuoteHub.ie: €4,400 to €8,800 (budget bathroom refit, Meath).

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.
What fits
Making 2 to 4 m² work
- A walk-in shower with a fixed screen instead of a bath.
- A wall-hung toilet and basin, so the floor runs under them.
- A sliding or outward-opening door.
- Shelves recessed into the stud wall.
- Big tiles, few grout lines, the same tile floor and walls.
- A strong, quiet fan: small rooms steam up first.

Tiles
The tiling sum
Tile Merchant works it through: a 4 m² floor plus walls to 2.4 m is about 25 to 30 m² of tiling, so €1,500 to €2,700 in labour at €60 to €90 a m², before a tile is bought. Tiling the shower walls fully and painting the rest cuts it.
