At Bathrooms4U (serving Cork & Kerry and beyond), we know that renovating a bathroom can bring up a lot of questions. From timelines to costs and materials, homeowners want to make informed decisions before committing to a renovation. To help you out, we’ve compiled some of the most frequently asked questions about bathroom renovations.

1. How long does a bathroom renovation take?

One of the biggest concerns homeowners have is how long they will be without a functioning bathroom. We complete most bathroom renovations in 5-7 working days. Our team coordinates every step of the process to ensure minimal disruption to your home.

2. How much does a bathroom renovation cost?

The cost of a bathroom renovation depends on several factors, including the size of the space, the materials chosen, and the extent of the work required. At Bathrooms4U, we offer transparent, all-inclusive pricing so there are no hidden surprises. We also work with a range of budgets to deliver high-quality results.

3. Do I need to have a design in mind before starting?

No! Our expert designers are here to help. We guide you through the entire process, offering advice on layout, materials, and features that suit your space and lifestyle. Whether you have a vision in mind or need inspiration, we’ve got you covered.

4. Can I renovate my bathroom if I have a small space?

Absolutely! Small bathrooms can be just as stylish and functional as larger ones. We specialize in maximizing small spaces with smart storage solutions, strategic lighting, and clever layouts to make your bathroom feel more spacious.

5. What’s included in a full bathroom renovation?

A complete renovation with Bathrooms4U (serving Cork & Kerry and beyond) includes:

  • Consultation & design assistance
  • Removal of old fixtures and fittings
  • Plumbing & electrical work
  • Tiling and waterproofing
  • Installation of new fixtures, including sinks, showers, and toilets
  • Finishing touches like lighting and accessories
6. What is the best type of tiles for my bathroom?

Choosing the right tiles depends on your style and practical needs. Porcelain and ceramic tiles are durable and water-resistant, making them excellent choices for bathrooms. Our team can recommend options that balance style, functionality, and maintenance.

7. Do I need planning permission for a bathroom renovation?

In most cases, no planning permission is needed unless you’re making significant structural changes.

8. Can I stay in my home during the renovation?

Yes! Our team works efficiently and tidily, ensuring as little disruption as possible. If you have multiple bathrooms, you can continue using the others while the renovation is underway. For homes with only one bathroom, we work with you to minimize downtime.

9. What guarantees do you offer on your work?

We stand by the quality of our work. Bathrooms4U provides a 1-year warranty on all workmanship and up to 12 years on selected products like shower doors and electric showers. Our focus is on durability and long-lasting results.

10. How do I get started with my bathroom renovation?

Getting started is easy! Simply contact us for a free consultation. We’ll discuss your needs, budget, and timeline before providing a detailed quote. From there, we handle everything, ensuring a stress-free renovation process.
