Bathroom Renovation in Poplaca

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

Do I have to move the plumbing from its current position?

Not necessarily. Keeping existing positions significantly reduces cost and duration. Moving the WC is the most expensive change, because a continuous fall to the stack must be maintained, and in flats the possible distance is limited. Moving the basin or washing machine is far simpler.

Do I need building association approval to renovate in Poplaca?

No permit is needed for work inside the flat, but associations in Poplaca usually require advance notice because of noise and working hours. If the work touches the shared water or waste stack, the association's consent becomes mandatory, as does notifying neighbours affected by the water being turned off.

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.
