How much does a renovation cost in Valencia — really?
The honest answer with numbers attached: per-m² tiers, per-room budgets and the four factors that actually move the figure. Every price below is our live published starting price, not a bait rate.
The short answer
Whole homes are priced per m². Single rooms, per project.
A full apartment renovation in Valencia starts from €390/m² and a house or villa from €440/m² — demolition to handover under one written figure. Renovating a single room, the two big tickets are the bathroom from €4,490 and the kitchen from €5,890. Everything else — painting, tiling, floors, ceilings — is priced by the square metre of the surface being worked, which is why an itemised quote beats any average you'll read online, including this one.
Houses and villas from €440/m²
Kitchens from €5,890 — complete, tested, guaranteed
Plastering from €14/m², floors from €24/m², tiling from €29/m²
The signed figure never changes without written approval
Reading the per-m² price
What €390/m² buys — and what pushes it up.
The baseline
The starting tier covers a complete standard renovation: strip-out, renewed surfaces, standard-range materials, doors and paint — the home made new, without luxury lines.
Old installations
Pre-1990 pipework and wiring usually must be renewed while walls are open — the single most common addition in Valencia's older housing stock.
Layout changes
Moving walls, and especially moving kitchens or bathrooms, adds demolition from €19/m², new partitions from €34/m² and re-routed services.
Materials
The spread between standard porcelain and natural stone, or laminate and hardwood, is itemised per line in the quote — you choose where to spend.
Access
A fifth-floor flat without a lift means every bag of rubble and every board travels by stairs — honest quotes price it; surprise invoices hide it.
Budgeting by room
Where the money goes in a typical apartment.
Wet rooms dominate every renovation budget — a bathroom from €4,490 and a kitchen from €5,890 carry plumbing, electrics, waterproofing and appliances in a few square metres. Dry rooms are cheaper per metre: plastering from €14/m², painting from €9/m², flooring from €24/m², new interior doors from €240. That's why "just refresh the bedrooms" costs a fraction of "move the kitchen" — and why we quote room by room, in writing, before you choose.
Bathroom, complete — from €4,490
Kitchen, complete — from €5,890
Painting a room — from €9/m² of wall
New floors — from €24/m²
Ceilings & partitions — from €34/m²
Windows & interior doors — from €240
Comparing quotes
Compare line by line, never total by total.
A quote that doesn't list demolition, disposal, materials and taxes isn't cheaper — it's incomplete. The difference appears later, as "extras".
Our signed figure is the final figure; changes happen only with your prior written approval. Ask any contractor for the same promise on paper.
Waterproofing and renewed installations should be photographed before tiles close over them — it's in our standard, and it protects your money.
A named lead engineer answers for scope, schedule and price — so a cost question never dies between subcontractors.

Questions, answered
Renovation costs in Valencia — the usual questions.
How much does an apartment renovation cost per m² in Valencia?
Full apartment renovations start from €390/m² with VELTORRA Reformas; houses and villas from €440/m². The exact figure depends on the state of the installations, the finishes you choose and the building's access — it is fixed in writing before work starts.
What does a bathroom or kitchen renovation cost in Valencia?
Complete bathroom renovations start from €4,490 and kitchens from €5,890 — demolition, systems, waterproofing, surfaces and installation under one written figure. Upgrades to stone or fittings are itemised separately.
What makes a renovation more expensive than the starting price?
The usual drivers: old installations that must be renewed (pipework, wiring), layout changes that move walls or wet zones, premium materials, and difficult access such as lift-less upper floors. A technical visit prices these before you commit, not after.
Is a cheap renovation quote a good sign?
Only if it is itemised. A low headline figure that leaves out demolition, disposal, materials or taxes grows later — the moment to compare quotes is line by line, not total by total. Our signed figure never changes without your written approval.
