Hello,
we have bought an apartment and now want to renovate the bathroom. That means we will remove everything ourselves, leaving only the bare connections and bare walls.
After that, a professional would need to retile the floor (4 sqm (43 sq ft)) and tile the walls up to about three-quarters height (approximately 14 sqm (150 sq ft)). The bathtub needs to be enclosed (built in?). A connection must be made to a heating pipe running on the plaster into the next room, and a towel radiator must be connected. Additionally, a section of heating pipe (about 50 cm (20 inches)) needs to be routed through the wall into the kitchen, where a radiator must be connected. Finally, the bathtub, washbasin, and gas boiler need to be reconnected.
So, my question is: who handles all of this together? Just a plumbing company, or do I need a separate tiler? Also, if I were to post this on my-hammer, could you give me a rough guideline on what starting price I should set? How many hours does a professional typically need for all of this?

Somehow I couldn't continue writing, sorry,
so I know exact details are not possible here, but since I have absolutely no knowledge about the subject, I just wanted to get a very rough estimate.
Thank you very much,
Best regards

Get quotes from 2-3 companies, and then you’ll have a clearer idea.
Craftsmen’s prices vary so much regionally in Germany that anything between 1,000 € and 10,000 € is possible here.

A rough guideline in our area is between 40 and 60 €/m² (4 to 6 USD/ft²) for the tile setter. Especially for small jobs like this, it often gets a bit more expensive… or it can be difficult to find someone at all.

I wouldn’t recommend using MyHammer for all the work. Tile setting, yes, but if you use MyHammer, only hire a specialized company, not a “jack of all trades.” 🙂

Here on the forum, I don’t think anyone can guess the price.

Find someone from your area, ask other residents, acquaintances, etc. Just have someone recommended to you, that’s usually the best option. With a local expert, you can also negotiate the price more effectively.
