To bring the total down, keep the shower drain at the tap end of the old bath and tile the wet zone plus floor rather than re-tiling dry walls. Moving the soil pipe, recessing a floor former into a solid concrete slab, or choosing large-format porcelain tiles floor-to-ceiling adds labour and materials. Dublin and commuter-belt labour sits roughly 5% to 12% above regional county averages.

Pick the walk-in shower specification and whether the drain stays at the bath end. This is our 2026 Ireland guide range; your written quote comes after the local installer inspects the bathroom.
Where you can save
- Leave the toilet and shower where they are. Moving them is €1,200 to €2,500 in plumbing before a tile goes on.
- Tile the wet areas, paint the rest. Tiling labour runs €60 to €90 a m², so every wall you paint instead is money back.
- Pick the tiles before the work starts. A tiler waiting on tiles is a day you pay for.
- Do the en-suite at the same time. One strip-out, one skip and the same fitters on site.
How prices compare across Ireland
Labour rates in Dublin and the surrounding commuter counties sit 5 to 12% above the national average, while sanitaryware, porcelain tiles and tanking materials cost the same nationwide.

Questions
Walk-in shower conversion cost FAQs
How much does a walk-in shower conversion cost in Ireland in 2026?
A walk-in shower conversion in Ireland typically costs €3,800 to €6,800 supplied and fitted. A bath-to-walk-in shower wet-zone conversion using a 25mm–40mm low-profile stone-resin tray and 8mm/10mm toughened glass screen costs €3,800 to €5,200, while a full level-access wet room with a recessed floor former, full tanking membrane and linear drain costs €5,200 to €7,500.
What is the difference in cost between a low-profile stone-resin tray and a flush wet-room floor?
A 25mm–40mm slip-resistant stone-resin shower tray costs €280 to €620 for the tray and fast-flow waste, making total bath-to-shower conversions €3,800 to €5,200. A flush level-access wet-room deck requires a recessed structural floor former (€420 to €880), full floor-and-wall tanking and R11 anti-slip floor tiling across the room, bringing total installed costs to €5,200 to €7,500.
What Local Authority grants are available for an accessible walk-in shower in Ireland?
Irish City and County Councils offer three schemes: the Mobility Aids Housing Grant (up to €8,000, covering up to 100% of approved accessible shower conversion costs for lower-income households), Housing Aid for Older People (up to €10,700 for homeowners aged 66+), and the Housing Adaptation Grant for People with a Disability (up to €40,000, means-tested). You must receive written council approval before strip-out starts.
How much do accessibility upgrades like grab rails, a fold-down seat and R11 anti-slip tiles add?
An accessible walk-in shower conversion with R11 (PTV 36+) anti-slip porcelain tiles, a 150kg-rated wall-mounted fold-down seat, stainless steel Doc M grab rails, and a TMV2/TMV3 cool-touch thermostatic shower typically costs €4,800 to €7,200 complete.
How much does it cost to relocate the shower waste or soil pipe?
Keeping the new walk-in shower drain at the tap end of the old bath avoids extra structural plumbing. Re-routing the 40mm/50mm shower waste across timber joists or chasing into a solid concrete ground-floor slab adds €450 to €1,100 depending on distance and floor construction.
