How much does a renovation cost in Torrevieja?
Real 2026 price ranges for Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa: full renovation per square metre, kitchen, bathroom, pool, extensions and façade. Plus the question everyone actually asks: what €20,000, €30,000 or €40,000 really gets you.
Full renovation: the price per square metre
The most honest way to talk about full renovation prices is per square metre, because two 100 m² flats can need very different jobs. Across the Vega Baja, these are the estimated ranges we work with in 2026:
| Full renovation | Estimated range |
|---|---|
| Mid-range quality | €450–700/m² |
| High-end quality | €700–1,200/m² |
| 100 m² flat, mid-range quality | ≈ €50,000–75,000 |
| 200 m² villa, mid-to-high-end quality | ≈ €110,000–180,000 |
Mid-range covers national-brand materials, complete new installations and solid finishes. High-end adds large-format porcelain, made-to-measure carpentry, home automation or ducted air conditioning. Full detail on the full renovations page.
Kitchen and bathroom: the two most requested jobs
| Item | Estimated range |
|---|---|
| Complete bathroom, mid-range | €3,500–8,000 |
| Complete bathroom, high-end | €8,000–15,000 |
| Kitchen, mid-range | €6,500–12,000 |
| Kitchen, high-end | €12,000–22,000 |
They're also the quickest jobs: 2 to 4 weeks with plumbing, tiling and units included. More detail under kitchens and bathrooms.
Pools, outdoor spaces, extensions and façades
| Item | Estimated range |
|---|---|
| New built pool (≈ 8×4 m) | €25,000–45,000 |
| Refurbishment of an existing pool | €4,000–12,000 |
| Roof or solarium waterproofing | €40–80/m² |
| Bioclimatic pergola | €400–800/m² |
| Porch or solarium enclosure | €500–900/m² |
| Extension with new foundations | €900–1,400/m² |
| Façade repair and painting | €80–200/m² |
| Annual property maintenance (non-residents) | From €40/month |
Extensions and enclosures need a technical project and council permit, which we handle as part of the job; the new builds and extensions page explains which paperwork applies to each case.
What can I renovate with €20,000, €30,000 or €40,000?
With €20,000 you normally cover a complete kitchen and bathroom refurbishment in mid-range quality — the two rooms that add the most value to a coastal property — or a substantial outdoor overhaul: waterproofing the solarium and refurbishing a pool that's losing water.
With €30,000 you reach a high-end kitchen and bathroom, or a mid-range kitchen combined with two bathrooms and full repainting.
With €40,000 a full renovation of a small 60-70 m² apartment in mid-range quality becomes possible, or a high-end kitchen and bathroom with margin left for interior carpentry.
Every combination depends on the property's real condition: that's why every figure in this guide is an estimate, and the final quote is fixed item by item after the free technical visit.
The five factors that move the price
Two renovations that look identical on paper can differ by thousands of euros because of five variables: the quality specification (the same bathroom with national or imported sanitaryware); the starting condition (a 1970s property with its original wiring needs far more hidden work than one from the 2000s); access (a flat without a lift makes materials and rubble handling more expensive than a villa with its own plot); the installations (full plumbing and electrical renewal versus finishes only); and the paperwork (a declaración responsable costs less and moves faster than a licencia urbanística with a technical project). In Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa homes from the 1970s-90s, the first three factors show up almost every time — we cover them area by area on the Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa pages.

Are these prices a binding quote?
No: they are estimated 2026 ranges to give you a starting point. The real quote — fixed, itemised and with no surprises — follows a free technical site visit, because it depends on the quality specification, the property's starting condition and access to the site.
Do renovations cost the same in Orihuela Costa as in Torrevieja?
The starting ranges are the same. What moves the price isn't the municipality but the factors of each job: access to the property (a villa with its own plot makes material handling easier than a high-rise flat), community or urbanisation rules, and the real condition of the installations.
