Bathroom renovation · Leipzig

Bathroom renovation in Leipzig – one contact instead of five trades

We take on the whole bathroom: demolition, waste removal, walls and ceiling, fitting of furniture and mirrors. Tiling, screed and plumbing are carried out by a licensed firm that we hire, schedule and supervise on site.

What drives the price of a bathroom

A bathroom is the most expensive room in a flat: demolition, waterproofing, tiling, plumbing, electrics and ventilation all meet on five square metres. That is why a price per square metre says very little here. Three things decide the cost: what has to come out, what goes in, and whether pipes are moved.

500–1,500 €shower enclosure, complete
300–1,000 €bathtub installed

In an old Leipzig building something unexpected shows up almost every time: a second layer of tiles, plaster that comes off with them, damp under the tub. That becomes visible during demolition, not on a photo — so we quote a fixed price after seeing the room and tell you beforehand what could still come on top.

  • Remove old tiles — 15–20 €/m²
  • Carry out and dispose of debris — 30–60 €/m³
  • Prepare walls and ceiling: plaster 6–14 €/m², cladding 10–22 €/m²
  • Fit sanitary ware: toilet 70–90 €, basin 40–60 €, tap 60–250 €
  • New tiles on walls and floor — 25–40 €/m² and 30–40 €/m²

Who does what – said plainly

In Germany tiling, screed and work on water pipes require a master craftsman certificate. We do not have one and do not pretend otherwise. Instead we take the job as a whole and hire a licensed firm for those parts, agreeing the dates with them. For you it stays one contact, one schedule and one invoice.

We do ourselves

  • Demolition: tiles, bathtub, toilet, old furniture
  • Carrying out and disposing of debris — 30–60 €/m³
  • Drywall: pre-wall, niche, ceiling cladding — 10–22 €/m²
  • Plastering and painting — 6–14 €/m²
  • Fitting mirrors, cabinets, shelves, silicone joints

Through a licensed firm

  • Plumbing: pipes, drain, connection points — 45–170 €
  • Tiling on walls and floor — 25–40 €/m²
  • Screed and waterproofing in the wet area
  • Electrical work: sockets, lighting, fan
  • Radiator and towel heater

You do not have to find that firm — we do. We get the quote, fit it into the schedule and are on site when they arrive. This is exactly where bathroom projects usually lose weeks if nobody coordinates them.

Plan for drying times

Between waterproofing, tiling and silicone there are waiting times nobody can shorten. That is why a full bathroom rarely takes less than two weeks, even though the actual work is six to eight days. Knowing this in advance, you can arrange a shower elsewhere and stay relaxed.

Questions & answers

Bathroom renovation in Leipzig – frequent questions

How much does a full bathroom renovation in Leipzig cost?
Labour is 40–60 €/hr, on top come the individual items: shower enclosure 500–1,500 €, bathtub 300–1,000 €, tiling 25–40 €/m², removing old tiles 15–20 €/m². For a small bathroom in an old building with full demolition the total is usually in the mid four figures. We quote a fixed price after seeing the room, not from photos — too much only shows behind the wall.
Do you do the tiling and plumbing yourselves?
No, and we say so openly: that requires a licensed master firm. We still take the job as a whole and hire a licensed firm for those parts, then coordinate it. Demolition, disposal, drywall, plastering, painting and fitting we do ourselves.
How long is the bathroom unusable?
For a full renovation two to three weeks, of which six to eight days are actual work — the rest is drying time for waterproofing, tile adhesive and silicone. If only the shower is replaced, two to four days are enough.
Can you replace the bathtub with a shower?
Yes, that is one of our most common jobs. Tub out, substrate checked, enclosure in, wall tiles renewed in the shower area — the rest of the bathroom stays. Enclosure 500–1,500 €, the plumbing connection runs through the licensed firm.
Who buys the materials?
Whatever suits you. Many customers choose tiles, taps and furniture themselves, because taste and budget hang on them — then we invoice labour only. On request we buy everything against receipts and without a markup.
Do you remove the debris?
Yes, that is part of the job. Old tiles, tub, toilet and furniture are carried out and taken away — 30–60 €/m³ by volume. You do not need to rent a skip or find anyone to carry.
