Small rooms,where the detailing shows.
A bath is the smallest room in the house and the least forgiving of a rushed detail.
Baths
Everything in a bath is close enough to touch, so every joint is visible. Tile layout, the way stone meets a wall, how a niche lines up with a course, where the fittings land. These are decided on drawings, not improvised on site.
Underneath that, the part nobody sees is the part that matters most. Waterproofing, slope, and the substrate under the stone are what decide whether the room is still sound in fifteen years.
Updating a dated bathroom
Bathrooms from the seventies and eighties usually need more than a surface change. Original waterproofing has often failed, the plumbing may be galvanized, the ventilation is frequently undersized, and the framing under the floor sometimes carries old water damage.
That is a good outcome rather than a bad one, because it is found while the room is open and it is cheaper to solve then than later.
Built work
Common questions
What is involved in updating an older bathroom?
Usually more than finishes. Older baths commonly need new waterproofing, updated supply and drain lines, better ventilation, and occasionally repair to the framing under the floor where water has been getting through. Those are found once the room is opened up and are far cheaper to address then.
How long does a bathroom renovation take?
Less than a kitchen, but tile and stone still carry lead times and the waterproofing has to cure before anything goes over it. The schedule is given in writing with the scope.
Do you do wet rooms and curbless showers?
Yes. Both depend on the floor assembly, since the slope and the drain have to be built into the structure rather than added on top, so they are decided early.
