Bathroom renovation – what you should consider before you start

Bathroom renovation is one of the most complex home renovation jobs.

Many people are primarily looking for inspiration and spectacular solutions:

• modern coverings
• walk-in built-in showers
• minimal bathrooms
• Pinterest ideas

However, experience shows that in the long run, it's not just the appearance that matters.

What should you pay attention to before renovating a bathroom?

Before renovating a bathroom, it is worth considering:

• the condition of the existing substrate
• proper waterproofing
• the slope of the shower
• the type and size of the cover
• and whether complete demolition is necessary or whether partial renovation is sufficient.

Experience shows that many problems can be prevented in the long run with proper preparation and thoughtful implementation.

How much can a bathroom renovation cost?

It is difficult to give an exact amount because there are so many factors that influence the final costs.

For example:

• the size and layout of the room
• Is demolition necessary?
• What is the condition of the existing socket?
• Is mechanical modification necessary?
• What kind of coverings will be installed?
• Is a custom shower design available?

Experience shows that many people initially only calculate the price of the coverings and simple paving square meter fees.

However, in most cases, the complete work consists of several work processes:

• waterproofing
• socket repair
• adhesives
• preparation
• demolition and transport of the site
