A relatively small room where plumbing, electrical work, waterproofing, drainage slopes and finishes must all be installed correctly.
The bathroom brings together many technical requirements in a small space. Behind the finished surfaces lie water and drainage pipes, electrical installations, areas exposed to moisture on a daily basis, and details that must be planned for before the final tiles and sanitaryware are fitted.
That is why a proper renovation begins with what is hidden from view and is completed with what you see every day.
Removing the old cladding provides a clearer picture of the condition of the infrastructure and surfaces. At this stage, it becomes apparent whether changes to the pipework, repairs to the subfloor, new fittings or other technical interventions are required before the bathroom can proceed to the final stages of finishing.
If the position of a washbasin, toilet, bath or shower is to be changed, the new positions must be planned in good time. Even when the layout remains the same, the age and condition of the pipework determine whether it needs replacing or can be retained.
Lighting, sockets, the mirror and any electrical equipment must be properly planned before the surfaces are finished. Particularly in a damp area, electrical work must comply with the relevant safety requirements and be carried out by a qualified professional.
The final look may be the tiles, but the durability of the space depends largely on the preparation underneath. Where necessary, waterproofing and the correct levelling of surfaces must be carried out before the final tiling.
The layout, cuts, corners, joints and gradients of the floor affect both the appearance and the functionality of the bathroom. The size and layout of the tiles must be taken into account at an early stage, especially in small spaces or in areas with many details.
