Tell Us About Your ProjectWhat a bathroom contractor covers
The scope of the trade
Full bathroom renovation
Coordinating demolition, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tiling, and fixture installation as a single project.
Waterproofing and tanking
A proper waterproofing membrane before tiling, the single most important step for avoiding leaks into the flat below.
Layout changes
Relocating the toilet, shower, or sink, which involves cutting the slab and rerouting drainage to the shared stack.
Tiling and finishes
Wall and floor tiling, natural stone, or porcelain, matched to the project’s finish level.
Trade coordination
Sequencing plumbers, electricians, and tilers correctly so each trade’s work doesn’t undo the last one’s.

Common mistakes
What goes wrong when hiring a bathroom contractor
Underestimating the cost of moving fixtures
Moving a toilet or shower isn’t a cosmetic change, it means cutting the slab and rerouting drainage. Budget for it explicitly, don’t assume it’s included.
Skipping proper waterproofing
A rushed or incomplete waterproofing membrane is the leading cause of disputes with the neighbour below. This step should never be skipped to save time.
Moving plumbing without checking permits
Layout changes can require a Comunicação Prévia. Confirm this before demolition starts, not after.
Poor trade sequencing
Tiling before the electrician has finished, or plumbing after waterproofing is cured, causes rework. A single coordinating contractor prevents this.
No milestone inspection before tiling
Once tile goes down, the plumbing and waterproofing underneath are hidden. Inspect before that point, not after.
