What Affects Your Bathroom Cost?
Bathroom Size
The largest single factor. Microcement is priced per m2, so a larger bathroom costs more. Most Irish family bathrooms are 8-14 m2.
Number of Surfaces
Floor only, walls only or floor + walls. Each additional surface adds cost. Full wet rooms with ceiling also included add more.
Tile Removal
Not required if tiles are sound — microcement goes over existing tiles. If removal is necessary, add 500 to 1,500 euros.
Shower Type
A wet room floor requires a tanking membrane (add 200-400 euros). An enclosed shower tray is simpler and costs less.
Substrate Condition
Damaged or uneven substrates require more preparation. Significant repairs can add 200 to 600 euros to the project.
Finish Type
Matte finishes are standard. Polished or high-gloss finishes require additional labour time and cost slightly more.
