Bathroom renovation: costs, process and timeline

2 min read

Short & direct

In the Zürich area a bathroom renovation costs roughly CHF 15,000 to 40,000 depending on size and fittings, and usually takes two to four weeks. The process covers consultation and quote, demolition, adapting water and drainage pipes, waterproofing, tiling and installing the new fixtures. A binding fixed price keeps the schedule and costs predictable.

A new bathroom boosts the comfort and value of your property – yet many people hesitate because of unclear costs and long construction times. Here is what you should realistically expect from a bathroom renovation in the Zürich area and the Limmattal, and how the process works.

Bathroom renovation cost: what to expect

The bathroom renovation cost depends mainly on size, fittings and the scope of plumbing work. As rough guidance – not a fixed price:

  • Small bathroom / refresh: from around CHF 15,000
  • Full renovation (mid-range standard): around CHF 20,000 to 30,000
  • Premium fit-out with high-quality fixtures: CHF 35,000 and up

The biggest cost drivers are laying new water and drainage pipes, the tiled area, and the choice of fittings, shower, bathtub and furniture.

Tip: Renewing pipes and electrics at the same time saves follow-up costs later – especially worthwhile in older properties in the Limmattal.

The bathroom renovation process

Clean planning makes the difference. This is how we typically proceed:

  1. Consultation & free quote – we inspect the bathroom, clarify your wishes and prepare a transparent fixed-price quote.
  2. Demolition – old fixtures, tiles and sometimes plaster are removed professionally.
  3. Pipework & waterproofing – water and drainage lines are adapted, then properly sealed.
  4. Tiling & masonry – floor and walls are prepared and tiled.
  5. Installation – new shower, toilet, basin, fittings and furniture are installed and commissioned.
  6. Handover – joint inspection and a clean handover.
