Before renovating the bathroom, it is worth making preliminary calculations to know what expenses to prepare for. This time we take a closer look at a small bathroom in a block of flats. Find out what costs each stage of work generates and what you can save on.
We start calculating the renovation by determining the scope of work and the size of the room. The smallest ones are from 3 to 5 square meters.
So what should you estimate when renovating a small bathroom? Here is the list:
- works – let’s consider whether we just want to refresh the room or carry out a general renovation. The degree of complexity of the work is also important;
- material prices – pay attention to quantity and quality;
- labor – costs that we have to pay to the specialist;
Let us also remember that in old buildings there are often additional, unexpected costs. That is why it is best to set a financial reserve of 15%. budget.

First, you should assess the technical condition of the bathroom in the block. Costs increase in prefabricated buildings because the water, sewage and electrical installations also need to be replaced.
We can commission such an assessment to specialists. They will create a project that will help you avoid mistakes that will result in further costs.
Then the work begins, including: dismantling old tiles and equipment, installations, finishing works and installation of fittings and ceramics. We can reduce the cost of renovating a small bathroom if we start doing it ourselves.
With an average finishing standard, we will pay PLN 12,000-16,000. PLN for the renovation of a small bathroom. The cost may be lower – from PLN 4,000 to PLN 6,000 if we choose the economical option. This includes, for example, dividing the renovation into stages, using existing elements that are in good condition, or carrying out some of the work yourself.
The maximum cost of renovating a small bathroom in a block of flats can be up to PLN 30,000. zloty. This high price is due to the choice of premium materials.
As for professionals’ rates, they vary depending on experience and location. A specialist “charges” from 6 to 12 thousand. zloty. At first glance, this price may seem high. Let us remember, however, that what counts is not only the labor itself, but also the precision of workmanship and responsibility for the final result. A well-made bathroom is a long-term investment that allows you to avoid repairs in the future.
