What does a toilet renovation cost in 2026?

A simple toilet replacement (toilet + installer only) costs €1,200–2,000. A full toilet room renovation with wall-hung toilet, concealed cistern, tiling and new floor costs €3,000–4,500. A luxury version with designer toilet and floor-to-ceiling tiling can run €4,500–7,000.

What is the difference between a wall-hung toilet and a floor-standing toilet?

A wall-hung toilet is mounted on a concealed cistern frame inside the wall and has no visible base. Advantages: easier to clean, modern appearance, adjustable height. Disadvantage: more expensive (€400–900 for the toilet + €300–600 for the concealed cistern vs. €150–400 for a floor-standing toilet including cistern).

How long does a toilet renovation take?

A simple replacement (toilet only) takes 2–4 hours. A full renovation with tiling and concealed cistern takes 2–4 working days. If the wall also needs to be opened up for the concealed cistern, it can take up to 5 days.

What does a concealed cistern (Geberit) cost?

A concealed cistern from a premium brand (Geberit, Villeroy & Boch) costs €250–500 for the frame including flush plate. Budget concealed cisterns start at €150. Installation by a plumber costs €150–300 extra.

What does tiling in the toilet room cost?

Tiling in a toilet room (average 4–6 m² wall + 2 m² floor) costs €400–1,200 including materials and labour, depending on the tile choice. A tiler charges €25–45 per m² for labour.

Save smart on your toilet renovation

Keep the existing drain location — relocating the drain quickly costs €300–600 extra in plumbing work.
Buy the toilet yourself (DIY store or online) and only have the installer fit it — saves 15–25% on materials.
Choose a store-brand concealed cistern instead of Geberit — quality is comparable, price €100–200 lower.
Limit tiling to the bottom metre of the wall for a neat finish without high labour costs.
