What a bathroom contractor covers here
The scope of the trade in the Algarve
Full bathroom renovation
Strip-out, plumbing and electrical first fix, waterproofing, tiling, sanitaryware and finishing, managed as one job.
Waterproofing and damp control
Membranes behind tiles and around showers, which older houses with thick stone or earth walls especially need.
Hard-water-friendly specification
Choosing fittings, glass and finishes that cope with limescale, so the bathroom still looks new after a few seasons.
Layout changes
Moving a toilet, shower or vanity, which involves drainage falls and, in apartments, coordination with the condominium.
En-suites and pool house bathrooms
Adding or updating bathrooms for extra bedrooms, guest annexes and pool areas, a common project in villas and rental properties.
Accessible and walk-in showers
Replacing tubs with level-access showers, a common request from owners who plan to stay long term.
Typical costs
What a bathroom renovation costs in the Algarve
Bathroom prices in the Algarve sit close to the Lisbon baseline. Prime coastal areas and the summer peak push prices up, and bathrooms in older houses, where walls and pipework need investigating first, sit toward the top of each band. Treat these as guides, not quotes.

Common mistakes
What goes wrong when hiring a bathroom contractor in the Algarve
Skipping waterproofing to save money
A membrane costs little compared to redoing a bathroom after a leak. Make sure it appears as its own line in the quote.
Not opening the walls before quoting
In older houses, nobody knows the state of the pipes and walls until they are open. Agree in advance how unforeseen work gets priced.
Choosing finishes that hate hard water
Some glass, black fittings and soft stones show limescale quickly. Ask the contractor what will still look good in three years.
Ignoring ventilation
A beautiful new bathroom without extraction will show damp and mould within a few years, especially in a house that stands closed up for months.
Accepting a verbal-only quote
Sanitaryware, tiles, labour and a contingency for surprises should all be visible in writing.
