Bathroom Renovation in Știrbești

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

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
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

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Știrbești?

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.

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.
