Frequently Asked Questions

1. Cost & Investment

High-end bathroom renovations typically range depending on size, specification, and structural requirements. Premium finishes, bespoke joinery, high-quality brassware, and professional waterproofing systems are key cost drivers. Following an obligation free consultation, we provide a clear, detailed quotation so you know exactly what you are investing in.

Yes. Wherever possible, we provide fixed-price quotations based on an agreed scope of work and specification. Any potential variations are discussed and approved before work proceeds.

Yes, many clients choose to source or import signature pieces themselves. We are happy to advise on compatibility, quality, and suitability to ensure everything performs as expected.

2. Design & Planning

Yes. We assist with layout, proportions, material selection, and practical detailing to ensure the finished bathroom is both beautiful and functional. We can also do a detailed 3D-design to clarify details and finishes.

In many cases, yes. Repositioning sanitaryware can dramatically improve flow, storage, and visual balance. This is the opportunity to move the basin to the wall you always felt it would be more functional. We will advise whether changes are worthwhile based on plumbing, feasibility and cost.

Absolutely. We frequently design with longevity in mind, incorporating features such as walk-in showers, concealed mobility supports, improved lighting, and durable finishes. It is sometimes also possible to plan around mobility supports and only install them in the future when the need requires.

3. Timeline & Project Management

A high-end renovation typically takes 2 to 4 weeks, depending on complexity. This includes demolition, plumbing, electrical work, waterproofing, tiling, installation, and finishing focusing on keeping the site and home clean and well covered where possible.

In most cases, yes. We plan the program carefully and communicate timelines clearly to minimize disruption. For a project of this length it is usually a more pleasant experience for our client to schedule the work during their holidays when we don’t disrupt the household’s daily routine.

You will have a single point of contact throughout the project. We coordinate all trades to ensure consistency, quality control, and accountability.

4. Plumbing, Electrical & Irish Compliance

Yes. All works comply with:

  • Irish Building Regulations
  • Safe Electric requirements for electrical works
  • Relevant plumbing standards and best practices
  • Certification is provided where applicable

We specify lighting that complies with bathroom zone requirements:

  • IP65 where required (e.g. wet zones)
  • Appropriate zoning for safety and compliance
  • Your designer will provide the correct light fixtures

5. Waterproofing & Quality Assurance

We use professional tanking systems in all wet areas (showers, wet rooms, baths). This is a critical step and is never skipped or substituted with shortcuts as this also forms part of our quality and workmanship.

We provide a workmanship guarantee, and all products carry manufacturer warranties. Waterproofing systems are installed strictly in accordance with manufacturer specifications.

With correct installation and quality materials, a premium bathroom should perform well over 15 years.

6. Materials & Finishes

We typically recommend porcelain tiles for durability, water resistance, and longevity. Large-format tiles are popular in luxury bathrooms but must be installed correctly to perform well.

Yes. High-quality wall panels can be an excellent alternative to tiles in certain applications and are often chosen for ease of maintenance and seamless appearance although not as durable and does not provide the same superior finish that tiles do.

Floor tiles are specified with appropriate slip ratings, particularly in wet areas, without compromising aesthetics.

7. Ventilation & Comfort

Proper ventilation is essential. We assess existing extraction and upgrade or install systems as needed to insulated ventilation systems to ensure moisture is effectively managed.

Yes. Underfloor heating is a popular feature in high-end bathrooms and can be integrated seamlessly beneath tiled floors depending on the accessibility to electrical supply or heat pump. Underfloor heating does also ensure the floor dries much faster mostly eliminating the need for shower mats.

8. Insurance, Trust & Peace of Mind

Yes. EireMaintenance.ie carries full public liability insurance and operates with the professional standards that are expected by discerning clients.

Of course. We are happy to share examples of completed projects and client testimonials.

Our focus is on:

  • Precision and detail
  • Proper preparation and waterproofing
  • Clear communication
  • High-quality finishes that last
  • Clean and orderly site
