Key steps of a renovation

A successful project relies on a meticulous design phase. First, define your needs, whether it is saving space or improving ergonomics. It is essential to check the state of existing plumbing to avoid surprises.

During construction, plan the installation of new pipes and waterproofing, which are both crucial for the durability of your project. Keep in mind that your bathroom will generally be out of use for two to four weeks.

Seamless coordination with qualified local contractors is the best guarantee for a result that meets your expectations.

Space optimization and comfort

In a bathroom, every square meter counts. If you wish to replace a bathtub with a walk-in shower, a technical check is essential: the available drain slope must be sufficient to ensure optimal drainage. Also, think about future maintenance.

Since water in the region can be hard, limescale build-up on fittings and shower screens is common. Choose non-porous materials and easy-to-clean surfaces to simplify your daily chores and maintain the new look of your bathroom over the long term.

Choosing the right equipment

Selecting your equipment must balance style and durability. High-quality faucets are more resistant to wear, while shower screens treated against limescale will greatly simplify your daily cleaning.

It is wise to choose sanitary elements with recognized reliability in the Swiss market. To refine your budget, do not hesitate to use our RenoIndex tool.

It allows you to get a cost estimate based on your specific material choices, helping you avoid unexpected financial overruns.

Efficient budget planning

A bathroom renovation is a significant investment. Beyond material and installation costs, always set aside a safety margin for the unexpected, often related to updating old electrical or plumbing systems.

Planning should be comprehensive to avoid the need for further work just a few years later. By using RenoIndex, you get an overview of likely costs, which helps you prioritize the most important investments for increasing the value of your property in Egg.

Frequently asked questions

What is the average duration of the works?

In general, you should expect 2 to 4 weeks of construction. During this time, your bathroom will not be usable. Careful planning with your local contractors is essential to keep delays to a minimum.

Should I budget for the unexpected?

Yes, it is highly recommended to add a safety margin of about 10 to 15% to your initial quote. This covers technical discoveries, such as defective pipes or unexpected electrical compliance needs.

How can I limit limescale in my new bathroom?

Hard water quickly causes limescale. Choose easy-to-clean surfaces, treated shower screens, and quality faucets. Regular maintenance with suitable products also helps to preserve the shine of your installations.

Can I replace my bathtub with a shower?

This is entirely possible, but you must check the available drain slope. A walk-in shower requires precise technical installation to ensure proper water drainage. Consult a professional to confirm technical feasibility.
