THE SHORT ANSWER
A typical kitchen and bathroom project in Spain lands at EUR 5,750 to EUR 18,000 in 2026, with a midpoint near EUR 11,900. Gross margin on that midpoint is usually 28 to 40 percent, or EUR 3,350 to EUR 4,750. Against a modelled cost per lead of EUR 50 to EUR 100 and 5 to 8 exclusive leads per signed customer, acquisition consumes roughly 4.7 to 19.5 percent of the gross margin on one job.
Ask five kitchen and bathroom fitters in Spain what an average job is worth and you will get five sincere, different answers. Below is a 2026 band for kitchen and bathroom projects in Spain and, more usefully, what happens when you divide it: margin on the midpoint job, and what winning that job costs before a single tool comes off the van.
A narrower average would be more comforting and less true, because cabinetry and appliance tier, whether plumbing and electrics move, and floor area all move the number materially. The market adds its own layer: in Spain, click prices are noticeably below the Benelux baseline, but average job values are lower too, so the ratio of cost per lead to job value is not automatically better.
The numbers, at a glance
Typical project value: EUR 5,750 to EUR 18,000 for a standard kitchen and bathroom job in Spain, midpoint around EUR 11,900
Gross margin: 28 to 40 percent of contract value, which is EUR 3,350 to EUR 4,750 on the midpoint job
Cost to win one customer: EUR 200 to EUR 650 in lead spend, assuming 5 to 8 exclusive leads per signed job at EUR 50 to EUR 100 each
Acquisition as a share of margin: 4.7 to 19.5 percent of the gross margin on a single job, before any repeat or referral value
The kitchen and bathroom band explained, from EUR 5,750 to EUR 18,000
Read the band as a description of one thing only: a complete installed project for a private homeowner in Spain, excluding VAT. Commercial tenders, social housing frameworks and emergency call-outs all price differently and should never be averaged into it.
Three variables do most of the work, namely cabinetry and appliance tier, whether plumbing and electrics move, and floor area. Spain is a market of roughly 48 million people, and the depth of that pool sets how much price pressure sits under every quote written into it.
EUR 5,750. Accessible property, standard specification, no surprises during the survey.
EUR 11,900. The typical quote, with a specification upgrade or two added after the first visit.
EUR 18,000. Wider scope, awkward access, or the premium option chosen in every category.
When these numbers say do not buy leads
Be willing to reach the negative conclusion. If acquisition already consumes more than a quarter of gross margin at this job value, buying more volume makes the problem bigger rather than smaller. Here that line is crossed at roughly EUR 850 per signed customer, and the modelled cost is EUR 200 to EUR 650.
Three situations where the honest answer is no. You cannot call a new enquiry within an hour during working hours. Your quote-to-win rate on kitchen and bathroom work is below one in eight. Or your diary is already full for the next six weeks, in which case extra leads become slower callbacks on all of them rather than extra jobs. Fix the constraint first; the leads will still be for sale next month.
Bathrooms are smaller jobs with better margin per working day
A full bathroom typically prices at a third to a half of a kitchen, which makes it look like the lesser job, and on margin per day it usually is not. A bathroom is a tight, high-detail room where tiling, waterproofing and second-fix skill are the whole value, and customers judge it on finish rather than on brand. Turnaround is five to eight days against two to three weeks, so one crew can complete three or four in the time a single kitchen takes. If your enquiry flow produces both, run the arithmetic on margin per crew day before you decide which to prioritise.
Regional funds and municipal IBI rebates change the net price
Spanish support for home energy work is administered mostly by the autonomous communities rather than centrally, so the amount, the deadline and the process differ between Andalusia, Catalonia and Madrid. On top of that many municipalities offer a reduction in IBI, the local property tax, for several years after qualifying work, most commonly a solar installation but in some ordinances other efficiency measures too, plus a further reduction on the building permit fee. Individually the amounts are modest; together they can be worth a meaningful share of a small contract. The practical rule is to check the specific municipal ordinance before quoting rather than the regional headline, because the homeowner will hear about it from a neighbour if you do not raise it first, and because a rebate you mentioned and they had not found is worth more to the sale than the same money taken off your price.
Raising job value beats cutting lead price
Lead prices move by a few percent when you negotiate. Job value moves by tens of percent when you sell the right scope. For kitchen and bathroom work the reliable lever is appliance packages and worktop upgrades, which moves the same room from the bottom to the top of the band. On the EUR 11,900 midpoint, a 20 percent increase in scope is worth about EUR 2,400 of extra contract value, which is more than the entire acquisition cost of that customer.
Quote the full scope, not the requested scope. Present the minimum job and the complete job as two priced options on the same document.
Bundle work the mobilisation already pays for. Scaffolding, access and travel are sunk the moment you are on site.
Anchor high, then subtract. A customer removing items from a complete quote finishes above a customer adding items to a minimal one.
Sell the monthly figure. Finance changes which end of the kitchen and bathroom band a household considers realistic.
Moving the plumbing and the electrics is the biggest single swing
Keeping the sink, the soil stack and the consumer unit where they are can be the difference between a four day fit and a nine day one. Relocating a bathroom soil connection means lifting floors and often notifying building control. Moving a kitchen sink to an island means drainage falls, a new supply run and usually a new circuit. Each of those adds EUR 1,500 to EUR 4,000. Establish it at the first visit, because a customer who has already fallen in love with an island will accept the cost, while a customer who hears it after signing treats it as a price increase and remembers it in the review.
Use your median job, not your average job
The mean is the wrong statistic for a contractor. One kitchen and bathroom project at the top of the band drags the average above anything you will quote next week, and a marketing budget built on it overspends quietly for months.
Take the median of your last twenty signed contracts instead. In a band of EUR 5,750 to EUR 18,000 the mean typically sits 8 to 15 percent above the median, because the distribution has a long right tail and no left one: there is a floor below which the job is not worth doing, and no ceiling above it. Budget against the median and let the large jobs be upside rather than assumption.
What happens to Spanish prices when a segment suddenly opens
Spain has run the same cycle several times and it is worth recognising early. A rule changes or a subsidy lands, demand jumps, the trade fills with new entrants inside two seasons, and the bottom of the price band collapses while the top holds. Solar is the clearest recent example: Royal Decree 244/2019 removed the penalty on self-consumption and simplified registration, the market grew fast, and within a few years margin at the cheap end had been competed away. The businesses still standing after each of these cycles did the same thing, which was to sell a specified job with documentation, guarantees and a named aftercare route rather than the smallest compliant version at the lowest number. Assume any Spanish segment that is currently profitable and easy to enter will be neither in three years.
Break-even on a block of 45 leads
A single lead price is hard to judge. A block is not. 45 exclusive leads cost EUR 2,925 and should convert into 5 to 9 signed kitchen and bathroom jobs at a midpoint of EUR 11,900 each, which is EUR 59,400 to EUR 106,900 of work booked and EUR 16,650 to EUR 42,750 of gross margin.
Break-even therefore arrives inside the first job. The useful question is not whether EUR 65 per lead is expensive in the abstract, but what happens to that arithmetic if your conversion is half the modelled rate, because that is the scenario worth planning for.
Five numbers to pull from your own accounts this week
Median contract value across the last twenty signed kitchen and bathroom jobs in Spain, taken from invoices rather than from quotes.
Median gross margin on those same twenty, after materials and installation labour but before overheads.
Total enquiries received in the same period, counting the ones that never answered the phone, so the ratio is honest.
Median time from enquiry to first call attempt, which is the variable that moves cost per customer furthest.
Acquisition cost as a percentage of median gross margin. That single percentage is what you compare across suppliers, markets and years.
How these figures were built
These figures are a benchmark model, not a survey. They combine an industry base range observed across Western European home-improvement campaigns with a country multiplier for local auction pressure. Treat them as a band to negotiate against, not a quote. The band is an industry base range for kitchen and bathroom multiplied by a Spanish construction cost index of 0.72, where the Benelux baseline is 1.00. Construction cost and advertising cost are modelled separately on purpose: cheap clicks and cheap labour do not reliably occur in the same market.
How Flock Leads prices this
For comparison against the acquisition figures above, this is what Flock Leads charges for exclusive volume in this market:
Starter - 10 leads for EUR 750, which is EUR 75 per lead
Growth - 25 leads for EUR 1,750, which is EUR 70 per lead
Scale - 45 leads for EUR 2,925, which is EUR 65 per lead
Pro - 70 leads for EUR 4,340, which is EUR 62 per lead
Max - 90 leads for EUR 5,400, which is EUR 60 per lead
No retainer, no contract term, and no lead sent to a second business. Unused volume rolls over under the Flock Lead Promise.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a kitchen and bathroom project cost in Spain?
Between EUR 5,750 to EUR 18,000 for a private household in 2026, midpoint around EUR 11,900, excluding VAT and excluding competitively tendered work. Where a specific job lands depends on cabinetry and appliance tier, whether plumbing and electrics move, and floor area.
Why is the band so wide?
Because cabinetry and appliance tier, whether plumbing and electrics move, and floor area genuinely swings the price that much. A narrow average would be more comforting and less true. The useful move is to establish where your own typical job sits inside the band, then price your marketing against that point rather than against the midpoint.
Is job value in Spain rising or falling in 2026?
Material prices have largely stabilised after the volatility of the early decade, while installation labour remains the tighter constraint across most of Western Europe. The practical effect is that job values drift upward slowly and the labour component grows as a share of each quote. Re-check your own median twice a year rather than trusting a published figure.
Why do you use a different index for job value and lead cost?
Because they measure different things. Lead prices track how many installers are bidding in a local advertising auction. Job values track labour rates and material logistics. Poland has cheap clicks and cheap labour, Ireland has mid-priced clicks and very expensive labour, and a single multiplier would misprice both.
Does a higher job value make lead buying easier?
Usually, yes, because the lead price is close to fixed while the margin scales with the contract. At the EUR 11,900 midpoint, acquisition is 4.7 to 19.5 percent of gross margin. Raise the average job by a fifth and that percentage falls by roughly the same proportion without a single change to what you pay per lead.
