How long does the average bathroom last for?

"Hi Jackie, A well constructed and maintained bathroom should last 20 - 25 years. If the bathroom is well ventilated to remove any condensation and pipework tested before commissioning.

The bathroom should be sealed water tight so any escape of water would stay on the surface and not penitrate within the sub-structure of the construction.

I hope this helps"

"Products and production specifications will always very in quality. A good bathroom fitter using anything from b&q standard furniture upwards should be able to guarantee a new bathroom for 3 years and expect it to last up to 15/20 years before refitting. Obviously there could be a touch up or repair to do over that time period. Taurus Tiling Specialists."

"How long a bathroom lasts is all down to how many people are using it and really how it's treated. If its done right there is no reason why you wouldn't get ten years out of it."
