Full bathroom finishing cost 2026

One bathroom, trade by trade

Plumbing alone (rough-in and fixtures) is over half the bathroom. That's why mixers and sanitary ware are where negotiating — and choosing brands carefully — pays off.

Tiles by bathroom size

The rough-in and fixtures stay roughly the same whatever the size; the tile quantity changes. Walls are tiled to the ceiling (about 3 m) with roughly 12% allowed for cuts — the same assumption the engine uses for a 6 m² bathroom.

Bathroom	Floor (m²)	Walls (m²)	Floor tiles	Wall tiles
4 m²2 × 2 m	4	27	1,020	6,426
6 m²2 × 3 m	6	34	1,530	8,092
8 m²2.5 × 3.2 m	8	38	2,040	9,044

Floor tiles cost EGP 255 per m² installed and wall tiles EGP 238 at standard level; luxury switches both to porcelain.

Bathroom finishing steps and inspection points

1Supply and drain rough-inPolypropylene supply pipes and properly sloped drains. Pressure-test before anything closes over them.

2Waterproofing and flood testWaterproof the floor and about 30 cm up the walls (higher at the shower), then a 24–48 hour flood test before tiling.

3TilingWalls first, then the floor with a fall to the drain. Check lines and joints.

4Gypsum and paintMoisture-resistant gypsum board or a cornice, and paint suited to wet rooms.

5Fixtures and accessoriesBasin, WC, mixers and shower, then a final leak check at every point.

Frequently asked questions

How much does finishing a bathroom cost in 2026?

About EGP 90,510 for a complete standard bathroom including supervision; from EGP 83,682 economy to EGP 142,256 ultra.

Why does waterproofing matter?

Any leak runs down to the neighbours and ruins walls, and fixing it after tiling means breaking tiles. Waterproofing and a flood test cost far less than the repair.

Ceramic or porcelain for the bathroom?

Ceramic works well on walls and at economy/standard level. Porcelain absorbs less water and is tougher underfoot — the luxury choice.

How long does a bathroom take?

About 3–4 weeks for the bathroom itself (rough-in, waterproofing, flood test, tiling, fixtures); in a full flat it runs in parallel with the other trades.

How do I price my flat's bathrooms?

The free calculator prices any number of bathrooms within the flat; with Premium you see each bathroom's lines and can edit fixture prices.
