Guide prices

How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Barcelona?

The price depends on three things: the type of work, the size of the room and the state of the plumbing behind the tiles. In older Barcelona flats, replacing pipes and downpipes can be a large part of the total, so we check it before giving you a fixed price.

We know Barcelona flats

What we find behind the tiles in Barcelona

Much of the city's housing is decades old, and it shows once the tiles come off. We check during the visit so the price doesn't change halfway through.

Old pipeworkGalvanised iron or lead pipes, best replaced while the walls are open.
Downpipes and drainsPoor falls, or shared downpipes that have to be agreed with the owners' association (comunidad de propietarios).
Poor ventilationInternal bathrooms with no window that need an extractor fan to avoid damp.

Paperwork

Do you need a permit for a bathroom renovation in Barcelona?

If the work doesn't touch the structure, the façade or shared parts of the building, a simplified notice to the City Council (Ajuntament) is usually enough. We tell you which one applies before we start.

Before you decide

Frequently asked questions

It depends on the scope. A bath to shower conversion takes a few days; a full renovation with new plumbing and tiling takes longer. The exact timeline is written into the quote.

Strip-out and rubble removal, plumbing, wall and floor tiling, sanitaryware, taps, screen and finishing. Everything is itemised at a fixed price: nothing outside the quote is charged without your written approval.

It depends on what is touched. If the work doesn't affect the structure, the façade or shared parts of the building, a simplified notice to the City Council is usually enough. We tell you which applies in your case and handle it.

In older flats, damaged pipes or downpipes sometimes appear. If that happens, work stops, the architect reviews it with you, and it only goes ahead with your approval and a written price.

On a private home, the reduced 10% VAT (IVA) can apply instead of 21% if the conditions set by the Spanish tax agency are met, including that materials stay under 40% of the quote. We confirm it in your quote.

Yes, in most cases. If it is the only bathroom, we plan the job to keep the days without it to a minimum and let you know in advance.
