ABOUT BAZUBA

Bathroom renovation is
our home.

Since 1987, we have been helping people feel comfortable in their bathrooms again – without weeks of construction work and without unpleasant price surprises. What started small back then is now a European franchise network with 15 locations.

40 years of experience

100,000+ satisfied customers

In days instead of weeks

WHERE WE COME FROM

Started small. Never stopped growing.

In 1987, the Zugmayer-Preleitner family founded the company Remaill-Technik in Austria – at that time specialising in the repair and restoration of bathroom surfaces. The idea was simple and convincing: Why replace a bathtub when you can refurbish it more affordably and quickly?

This core idea still drives bazuba today. What began as a one-man business has become a franchise system with locations in Austria, Germany, and Italy. What has changed: the name, the network, the methods. What has remained the same: the commitment to solving real problems honestly.

FAMILY BUSINESS SINCE 1987

Three generations.
One focus.

The Zugmayer-Preleitner family has run bazuba since day one. Today, Constantin Zugmayer leads the company together with his wife, Sonja Zugmayer. Their children are also involved: Sebastian manages three locations in Lower Austria and Styria, Paul is responsible for training and the further development of our services, and Bernhard handles finance and purchasing. What has continued through three generations is not just the company – but a genuine passion for what is possible in the bathroom.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS ABOUT BAZUBA

What people want to know about bazuba.

"When was bazuba founded and what was the company previously called?"

bazuba was founded in Austria in 1987 under the name Remaill-Technik. In Germany, the company operated as Bad-Technik from 2003. The rebranding to the current brand bazuba took place in 2020.

"What does bazuba mean by 'intelligent bathroom renovation'?"

Intelligent bathroom renovation means preserving existing structures instead of tearing them out. bazuba works with coatings, seamless surfaces, and targeted partial renovations – this is faster, cleaner, and usually significantly more cost-effective than a traditional full renovation.

"Is there a guarantee on bazuba work?"

Yes. bazuba offers an 8-year guarantee on coatings against peeling and yellowing. In addition, there is a fixed price after the inspection: you know in advance what it will cost, no hidden costs.

"Is bazuba really a family business?"

Yes. bazuba has been run by the Zugmayer-Preleitner family since its founding in 1987, across three generations. Constantin Zugmayer is at the helm. This family background shapes the company culture: short lines of communication, clear decisions, and personal responsibility.

"Does bazuba also offer franchise opportunities?"

Yes. bazuba is an active franchise system. The first partner started in 2000. Today, the network comprises 15 independent locations, all operating according to the proven bazuba system. Further information can be found at bazuba-franchise.com.
