Bathroom Renovation in Moțca

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

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.

How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Moțca?

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.
