Is it time to update and improve the appearance of your bathroom? Whether you want to replace old components such as toilet, sink, shower, or bathtub, or make a more extensive change, we can help you. A bathroom renovation is often a significant investment and a quite extensive project with a lot of planning.
For tiles and bathroom mats, it is also important to keep an eye out for signs of moisture damage:
Color changes: If the tiles or bathroom mats start to become dark or have a different color than the original, this may be a sign of moisture damage.
Damage or cracking: If the tiles or bathroom mats have damage or cracks, this may be a sign of moisture damage and creates an opening for further moisture to penetrate.
Mold: Mold can also form on the tiles or bathroom mats, especially in humid areas. It is important to consult a professional expert if you suspect moisture damage to your tiles or bathroom mats to get an appropriate solution.

How to remodel a bathroom?
1. The first step in the process is to contact us by phone, email or request an offer online
You will work with a project manager to create a detailed plan of the changes you want to make in your bathroom. The project manager will inspect your bathroom and provide tips and ideas on how to best renovate it. You will agree on what needs to be removed or added and which materials and products to use. You will also learn if an asbestos analysis is needed, how long the project will take, and receive a price estimate.
2. You will receive a detailed cost estimate
Based on what you have agreed with the project manager, he can calculate a more accurate cost estimate or send a clear offer on all costs associated with the bathroom renovation. Once you accept the offer or cost estimate, the actual work on your bathroom can begin. We will answer any questions you have about the project, and you can choose to be as involved as you want during the renovation. Whether you want to be involved in every step or go on a trip during the renovation, it is possible.
3. Your new bathroom takes shape
The work will begin on an agreed start date. Our experienced installers will come to your home and carry out the work that you and the project manager have planned. You will need to remove all freestanding furniture and items from the bathroom, or we can do it for you. We will handle all procurement of materials, and all you need to do is choose what you want. You don't need to move out of your home while your bathroom is being renovated. You can borrow a portable toilet and shower from us. The project manager will be involved throughout the project, and when the renovation is complete, he will inspect to ensure that the work has been done to your satisfaction and in accordance with all regulations.
4. Enjoy your new bathroom
When the project is complete, you will enjoy a new and fresh bathroom that is customized to your needs and preferences. The bathroom is one of the most important rooms in a home, and you have made a good investment in renewing it. Even small changes can make a big difference. Renewing the bathroom is a luxury that makes everyday life better.
How much does it cost to renovate a bathroom?
The cost of renovating a bathroom depends on its size and shape, the materials and products used, the features included, whether an asbestos analysis is required or not, and how many work hours are needed.
It is a good idea to consider your budget and how much you can invest in your new bathroom. With the help of our skilled professionals, you can get inspiration and advice that will help you achieve your dream bathroom at a good price.
A general estimate for a standard-sized bathroom (4m²) is €12,000.
When planning your budget, remember to set aside a small buffer to accommodate any changes in the project.
How long does it take to renovate a bathroom?
Just like the cost, many factors determine how long it takes to complete a bathroom renovation. The size of the bathroom, its complexity, and the type of work to be done determine the length of time. You can expect the work to take 4-8 weeks.
Remember the household tax deduction
You can apply for a household tax deduction when renovating your bathroom. The deduction is only granted for the work, not for material costs. Here you can find all the information and application:
Tips for Bathroom Renovation
1. Set a realistic budget and plan around it
Plan your bathroom as carefully as possible and consider what style you want to be dominant. Should it be minimalistic, modern, stylish, or retro? There is a huge selection of tiles and ceramics available. Do you want to have a wet room mat? Do you have a small bathroom and want to make it feel bigger? What color scheme do you want? Will many people use the bathroom at the same time? What features should be included in the bathroom? You can find a lot of inspiration online, and we are happy to provide tips and advice. We can also offer free 3D planning of the bathroom through our partners if the surface material is taken from there.
2. Choose bathroom furniture
An important step in planning a bathroom is to choose the bathroom furniture you want. It is wise to choose it at an early stage to measure and calculate how the bathroom furniture should be placed and to maximize the space and function in the bathroom. Make sure there is enough space in front of the bathroom furniture and the toilet. We can also manufacture your bathroom furniture according to your wishes.
3. What kind of lighting do you want?
First and foremost, choose lighting that is approved for wet areas. Consider whether you want to move the lighting or replace lamp fixtures. Where do you want the wall outlets to be located? Do they need to be moved to another location? Bathroom lighting is important for you to feel comfortable in your bathroom, so plan which fixtures you want and where they should be placed. Sometimes stronger lighting is needed, and other times, dim lighting is nice. We offer installations through our partner, and they can plan and advise on lighting.
4. Consider if you need to replace old pipes
If your pipes are getting old, it is wise to replace them in conjunction with the bathroom renovation. If you have pipes that have not been replaced for a long time, you will get very little insurance compensation if an old pipe starts to leak. Replacement is preferred before a pipe starts to leak because it can cause significant damage. Doing a pipe renovation increases the value of your home. We carry out the plumbing services needed in a bathroom renovation ourselves.
5. Install underfloor heating?
If you do not already have underfloor heating, it may be worth investing in. It is an extra expense, but it has great, comfortable benefits as ceramics can be very cold to walk on. In the bathroom, warmth is often an important factor, so it is smart to install underfloor heating. Underfloor heating also minimizes the risk of moisture damage and makes the bathroom dry faster.
6. Easy to clean
Most people want an easy-to-clean bathroom. Minimize your cleaning with wall-mounted bathroom furniture and choose materials that are easy to clean. Larger tiles or ceramic plates mean fewer joints to keep clean.
7. Small details
Do not forget the small details such as hooks, shower fixtures, faucets, towel rails, and mirrors. They may feel least important when planning a bathroom, but the end result will be much better if you take them into account.
8. Building permit
No building permit is needed to renovate a bathroom unless you are expanding or moving a load-bearing wall. If you live in an apartment, permission may be required from the housing company/manager.
