Renovations, heritage and volumes

Technical planning for your bathroom

Transitioning to a walk-in shower is a popular choice. However, swapping a bathtub for a walk-in shower requires checking the available drain slope before starting. Insufficient slope can lead to problematic water stagnation.

Furthermore, all water supply and drainage systems must comply with current Swiss standards. We advise consulting local professionals to assess the technical feasibility of your project.

Pay close attention to wall sealing, which is a critical aspect to prevent water infiltration and long-term damage to your property structure.

Choosing materials suited to the region

In Neuenkirch, water quality can vary and is often quite hard. Since hard water scales fittings and screens quickly, you should plan for easy-clean surfaces that are treated against limescale.

Choose durable and moisture-resistant materials for furniture and flooring. Porcelain stoneware, for example, is an excellent choice for its robustness and ease of cleaning.

By choosing high-quality fixtures, you invest in the longevity of your bathroom while reducing the time spent on daily maintenance and cleaning.

Construction management and timelines

Renovating a bathroom requires rigorous organization. Expect roughly 2 to 4 weeks without a usable bathroom during the process. It is important to coordinate the different trades, such as the plumber, tiler, and electrician, to avoid downtime.

If you do not have a second bathroom, you must plan for this period of inconvenience. Preparing the site in advance, especially by ordering materials early, often helps to meet deadlines and avoids unpleasant financial surprises.

Cost estimation and budgeting

The cost of a renovation depends heavily on the quality of materials chosen and the scope of plumbing work. To get a clear view of your project, it is essential to use reliable comparison tools.

Our RenoIndex estimator helps you get a personalized estimate based on regional pricing. Do not forget to include a safety margin of 10 to 15% in your budget to cover any unforeseen issues that may arise when opening walls or replacing old pipes.
