Bathroom Renovation in Gherla

About this service

A bathroom renovation is the most complex job per square metre in any home, because within 4–8 square metres you have plumbing, electrics, waterproofing, tiling, and sanitaryware installation all overlapping. A complete team strips out the old tiling and fittings, removes the debris, reworks the water and waste runs, installs electrical circuits for sockets, lighting, and the washing machine, applies waterproofing to the wet area, lays screed with the correct fall to the floor drain, tiles the walls and floor, installs the shower enclosure or bath, WC, basin, and taps, then finishes with sanitary silicone and fits the mirror, furniture, and accessories. The order of operations matters enormously: omitted waterproofing or an incorrect fall is paid for a few years later, with water reaching the flat below. On SmallJobs you'll find teams experienced in complete renovations, with real reviews and competitive rates.

What to check before hiring a bathroom renovation

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
Notify the association and neighbours before starting, especially if the stack water will be turned off

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.
