The cost of a bathroom refurbishment in Spain is one of the most frequent questions when renovating this essential room of the home. From the choice of materials to labour or the type of refurbishment, every decision directly affects the final cost.
In this guide we offer an up-to-date breakdown of prices and materials, explaining the most common types of bathroom refurbishment and what you can expect in each case. This will give you a realistic idea of the budget you need and help you make informed decisions.
Types of bathroom refurbishment and approximate prices in 2025
The cost of refurbishing a bathroom varies depending on the level of work, the quality of the finishes and the square metres available. At ROBEYAN we have divided it into three levels to guide you more clearly:
Basic refurbishment
Designed for functional updates without changing the layout or the installations.
It includes replacing the bathroom set with a new one, with a vanity unit, mirror and integrated lighting. The basin and shower or bath taps are also replaced, new accessories are fitted (towel rails, toilet roll holders, soap dishes…) and, if there is a bath, it can be replaced with a basic shower tray and screen. In some cases, an auxiliary unit is added to increase storage.
Mid-range refurbishment with renewed installations
Designed for bathrooms that need technical and visual modernisation.
It involves completely renewing the plumbing and electrical installations, bringing them up to date. Wall-hung or modern design sanitaryware is installed, high-quality porcelain tiles are laid, a floor-level shower tray with a screen is fitted, along with thermostatic or water-saving taps and higher-quality functional furniture. A heated towel rail and new ceiling lighting can also be included for a more modern, efficient atmosphere.
Full, high-end refurbishment
The most complete option, ideal for those looking for a designer bathroom with a personalised layout. It includes relocating the sanitaryware or shower area (where technically feasible), with a complete renewal of installations. Walls and floors are clad in high-performance materials such as microcement, natural stone, handmade tiles or ultracompact surfaces such as DEKTON, resistant to intensive use and humidity.
High-end sanitaryware, multifunction showers with chromotherapy or whirlpool baths are added, along with bespoke furniture with exclusive finishes and worktops in materials such as Corian or DEKTON. It is completed with smart dimmable lighting and, if the space requires, replacing the hinged door with a pocket sliding door, gaining space and comfort.
Materials for floors and walls
The choice of cladding material is key to the design and final budget of the bathroom. Here we explain the most widely used options, ordered by price range:
Basic ceramic
Economical, functional and easy to install. Perfect for simple refurbishments or occasionally used bathrooms.
Standard porcelain
Durable, moisture-resistant and available in a wide variety of finishes. Ideal for frequent use.
Microcement
Continuous, jointless cladding, modern and minimalist. It is applied directly onto the existing surface.
Large-format porcelain - DEKTON
Ultracompact, resistant to scratches, humidity and heat. It offers a continuous, elegant look with minimal joints.
Natural stone
A noble, exclusive and highly durable material. Marble, limestone or slate are common choices in high-end bathrooms.
Frequently asked questions

The average price of a complete bathroom refurbishment is around €7,000 to €10,000, although it can vary depending on the type of refurbishment, the materials and the square metres. In high-end projects, the cost can exceed €15,000.
How long does a bathroom refurbishment take?
A basic refurbishment can take between 5 and 7 working days. If it includes renewing installations or structural changes, it can take 2 or 3 weeks, depending on the complexity of the project.
Can a bathroom be refurbished without building work?
Yes, it is possible to refurbish without building work through solutions such as vinyl cladding, replacing sanitaryware, taps or furniture, without changing the installations or the layout.
Which materials are best for bathroom cladding?
The most widely used are porcelain, microcement, DEKTON and natural stone. The choice will depend on the budget, style and desired durability.
Can I replace the bath with a shower without refurbishing the whole bathroom?
