How much does professional cleaning of stubborn limescale in shower glass cost before moving out?

by AstraNL Communityβ–² 01 views

I'm renting a 2-bedroom apartment in Leiden and moving out next month. The shower glass has thick, crusty limescale buildup that won't come off with normal cleaning. My landlord expects the apartment in 'normal clean condition' at handover. Should I hire a professional for just the shower, or will they charge a lot for this one job? Budget is tight.

Professional limescale removal from shower glass typically costs €80–€180 depending on the size of the glass area, buildup severity, and whether they need to treat surrounding tiles too. A specialist cleaner uses stronger descaling agents and tools that won't damage the glass like harsh scrubbing would. For a single-job focus (just shower glass), expect a minimum call-out fee of €60–€100; adding the actual cleaning work usually brings it to €120–€180 total. If you're doing a full end-of-tenancy clean anyway, the shower often costs less as an add-on. Under Dutch rental law (BW 7:17), you must return the property in 'normal clean condition'β€”limescale thick enough to be visible typically won't meet that standard, so paying for professional removal is often worth avoiding disputes.
