Hello everyone,
the largest and presumably most expensive renovation will be our 11sqm (118sq ft) bathroom. The layout is planned to remain the same (so the length of the sink, bathtub, etc., will not change). Next week, the plumber will come for a cost estimate, and I want to be somewhat prepared.
A few questions to the group: Do the pipes need to be replaced? How can I tell as a layperson if they do?
How does this usually work—will all the pipes be replaced, including the drainage and those inside the walls?
What can such work typically cost or be allowed to cost?
For cost reasons, is it possible to simply tile over the existing tiles, or is it better to gut the entire bathroom?
Thanks to all!

How are we supposed to assess this?
Show us the design and the quote.
I don’t really understand your question. Please show us pictures and the existing layout.
Are the tiles still firmly fixed? Just tap on them to hear if they are secure.
Are the pipes made of copper? If so, they can stay. We are gutting the bathroom ourselves. The pipes are 40 years old, so we plan to replace them.
The quote looks like this (all net and rounded):
Washbasin unit including faucet: 350
Toilet including cistern: 500
Acrylic shower (including faucet): 1900
Steel bathtub including faucet: 500
Pipes, fittings, etc. (up to the riser): 650
Installation labor: 2200
Towel dryer: 700
Additional charge for small parts, tools, travel costs, etc.: 400

- Towel radiator 1,000€ (!)
- Washbasin + countertop slab + faucet 1,900€ (!!)
- Tall cabinet + base cabinet for sink 1,500€ (!!!)If your guest toilet already costs 25K, I don't want to know how much your master bathroom costs.C

They take it because they can. I don’t have the time or, in some cases, the skills to do it myself.
Our 6m² (65 sq ft) bathroom also cost about 25,000 last year. The prices for the furniture, fixtures, etc., were roughly 20% higher than those of the common online stores. With a complete renovation, a lot of labor hours add up, which you shouldn’t forget. For us, the whole process took about 4 weeks, with 1 to 2 tradespeople on site every day.

What kind of fixtures did you choose? Walk-in shower? And bathtub?
