Bathroom Renovation in Comănești

About this service

The difference between a bathroom renovated properly and one done in a hurry lies in what can no longer be seen once it's finished. Waterproofing must cover the whole floor and rise 20–30 centimetres up the walls, and to 180 centimetres in the shower area, with sealing tape at corners and pipe penetrations. The fall to the drain must be continuous, 1–2%, tested with water before tiling rather than after. Concealed pipework is pressure-tested and photographed before being covered, so any future work doesn't mean opening walls at random. A serious team follows these steps even when nobody is checking, because they know what putting it right costs.

What to check before hiring a bathroom renovation

Ask for photographs of the pipe routes before they're covered by screed and tiling
Request a pressure test on the pipework and a water test for the fall, before tiling
Keep the WC in its current position if budget matters — moving it is the most expensive operation
Buy tiles with a 10–15% surplus and keep the leftovers for future repairs
Ask for a staged quote with quantities, not a lump sum — otherwise you can't compare offers
Allow a 10–15% contingency in your budget for problems found after strip-out

Frequently Asked Questions

Who buys the materials, me or the team?

Most commonly the client buys finishes and sanitaryware — because these are aesthetic choices — while the team brings consumables: adhesives, grout, waterproofing, screed, silicone. Ask upfront for an exact materials list with quantities, so you can order correctly with the necessary 10–15% surplus.

What happens if problems are found after strip-out?

It's a frequent situation: corroded pipework, loose render, mould in the wall, or degraded screed. A proper quote allows a contingency margin, and the team must inform you and present the additional cost before continuing. Ask for photographs of the problem found.

Shower enclosure or bath, which is better?

A shower saves space, is more accessible for older people, and uses less water. A bath remains preferred in families with small children. A level-access wet room shower looks modern but requires a flawlessly executed fall and extended waterproofing, so it costs more in labour.

Can the bathroom be renovated without removing all the tiles?

Tiling over existing tiles is possible if they're perfectly bonded and flat, using special adhesive and a bonding primer. It saves time and debris but raises the floor level by 1–2 centimetres and doesn't allow the waterproofing to be redone. It's a compromise, not a recommendation for a full renovation.

What should a bathroom renovation quote contain?

A list of operations by stage, estimated quantities for each — square metres of tiling, linear metres of pipework — labour separated from materials, the completion timescale, staged payment terms, and a contingency margin. A quote showing a single lump sum makes any comparison impossible.

How do I check the quality at the end?

Check tiling flatness with a straightedge, grout line uniformity, silicone sealing at all junctions, drainage by pouring water on the floor, and the absence of voids under tiles by tapping lightly. Also check tap pressure and that there are no leaks under the basin after a few hours of use.
