Bathroom installation in Longford
Longford is a small midlands county with a largely rural population centred on Longford town. Natural gas network coverage in Longford is limited to the county town and a small number of other locations, with the majority of the county relying on oil and LPG for heating. The pool of RGI registered gas installers in Longford is relatively small, and homeowners in more remote parts of the county may need to source an installer from a neighbouring area.
Longford is a small Midlands county with a dispersed rural housing pattern and a single main town. The housing stock is predominantly older, with a high proportion of oil-heated bungalows and farmhouses. SEAI heat pump conversion has been gaining traction as a route to reducing oil dependency, and the county has a reasonable number of SEAI-registered contractors.
The work
What a Bathroom Installation in Longford Involves
A bathroom installation in Longford runs from a full suite refit to a tanked wet room or an added en-suite. On a complete bathroom it means planning the layout, running the first-fix pipework and waste to the new positions, waterproofing behind the shower and across any wet-room floor, then second-fixing the suite and testing every joint before sign-off.
The plumbers listed here cover the whole county, taking in Longford town, Granard, Edgeworthstown, Lanesborough, Ballymahon and Kenagh, so there is a local tradesperson near you for the job.
- First-fix pipework and waste run to the new layout
- Wet areas tanked before the tiling goes up
- Every joint tested before final sign-off
How Long a Bathroom Takes in Longford
A full bathroom takes three to seven days across first-fix, tanking, tiling and second-fix. A bath or basin swap is a half-day.
Waterproofing and Tiling in Longford
Tanking behind the shower and across a wet-room floor is done before tiling, so the room stays watertight for the long run.

Hiring
How to Find a Bathroom Installer in Longford
Bathroom installation in Longford is general plumbing work, so any qualified plumber can take it on. Here is how to find and hire the right one.
Browse Plumbers in Longford
Every plumber in the Longford plumber directory is sorted by county, so you can find local tradespeople near you and contact them directly. Browse the county, shortlist a few, and ask each for a bathroom installation quote.
Get Three Written Quotes for the Work
Quotes should set out the suite supplied, whether tiling and waterproofing are included, any plumbing points being moved, and the labour. A quote that does not list the suite and the finishes is incomplete, since those decide the price and the days on site.
Agree the Layout Before First Fix
Confirm the final positions of the bath, WC, basin and shower before the plumber runs the first-fix pipework. Moving a fitting after the walls are tiled and the floors are down costs far more than getting it right at first fix.
Confirm Waterproofing and Sign-Off on Completion
On completion the plumber checks the tanking behind the shower and any wet-room floor, runs every outlet, tests the joints and waste for leaks, and confirms the fall drains clean. Ask for the work pressure-tested and left tidy before you sign it off.

Common questions
Bathroom Installation in Longford: Common Questions
How much does a new bathroom cost in Longford in 2026?
A full bathroom installation costs €4,000 to €9,000 in Longford, covering the suite, first-fix pipework, waterproofing and second-fix. A wet room is €5,000 to €10,000 and an en-suite €3,000 to €6,000. Figures include labour and VAT.
How long does a bathroom installation take in Longford?
A full bathroom in Longford takes three to seven days, from stripping out the old suite through first-fix pipework, tanking and tiling to second-fix and testing. A straight bath or basin swap is a half-day job.
Do you tile and waterproof the bathroom or only the plumbing?
Most Longford plumbers coordinate the full job, including tanking behind the shower, waterproofing a wet-room floor and tiling, either directly or with a tiler on the team. Confirm in the quote whether tiling and waterproofing are included or priced separately.
Can you fit a wet room in my Longford home?
Yes, in most Longford homes. A wet room needs the floor tanked, graded to a drain and tiled, and the shower sized to the water pressure. Where mains pressure is low, a pump or an unvented cylinder brings it up to a comfortable flow.
Can you move the bathroom to another room in Longford?
Yes. Moving a bathroom to a new room in Longford means running the water feed and a new waste to the new position, and the waste fall is the deciding factor. It is planned at first fix, before the floors and walls are closed up.
Do you supply the bathroom suite in Longford or do I?
Either. Some Longford homeowners buy the suite, tiles and fittings themselves and the plumber fits them, while others ask the plumber to supply and fit the lot. Supply and fit keeps the warranty and responsibility with one tradesperson.
