Bathroom Renovation in Mărăcineni

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

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
Notify the association and neighbours before starting, especially if the stack water will be turned off
Never skip waterproofing to save money — it's the most expensive saving possible

Frequently Asked Questions

What warranty do I get on a bathroom renovation?

Labour is usually warranted for 2–5 years, and some teams offer longer on waterproofing. Request the warranty in writing, along with the photographs of the pipework before it was covered. Those images are the most valuable documents you can hold for any future work.

How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Mărăcineni?

For a 4–6 square metre bathroom, complete labour typically falls between 4,200 and 16,000 RON, depending on area and complexity. Materials — tiles, sanitaryware, taps, furniture — add typically 6,000–20,000 RON depending on the quality chosen. A realistic total budget starts from 12,000 RON.

How long does a bathroom renovation take?

A standard flat bathroom takes 12–20 working days. The stages can't be compressed indefinitely: screed needs drying time, waterproofing needs to cure, and adhesive and grout need to set. A team promising completion in 5 days is skipping essential technical waiting times.

Can I use the bathroom during the renovation?

No, it's the one room that can't remain partly functional. If you're living in the same flat, plan for 2–3 weeks with an alternative. In homes with two bathrooms, the work can be done one at a time, which greatly reduces the disruption.

What is waterproofing and why can't I skip it?

It's a liquid membrane or sheet applied beneath the tiling that stops water seeping through grout from reaching the screed and, beyond that, the flat below. Grout lines are not permanently watertight, whatever their quality. Skipping waterproofing is the most common saving that costs dearly 3–5 years later.

What order do bathroom works follow?

Strip-out and removal, reworking plumbing and electrics, pressure testing, levelling render, waterproofing, screed with fall, wall and floor tiling, grouting, sanitaryware installation, then furniture and accessories. Reversing the stages, particularly the waterproofing, compromises the entire job.
