Bathroom renovation tax deduction 2026: Calculator, rules and examples
In Germany, you can deduct 20 percent of the labour costs for your bathroom renovation in 2026 directly from your taxes, up to a maximum of 1,200 euros per year. From 2027, according to the government draft, this will be reduced to 15 percent and 900 euros. The calculator shows what this means for your bathroom, even if you split the payment across the turn of the year. Different rules apply in Austria (see box below).

With care level (Germany): The care fund pays up to €4,180 for the conversion. For the subsidised measure, there is no tax bonus, but your own contribution can be claimed as an extraordinary burden under § 33 EStG, including materials. This is usually more beneficial. How the combination works
Germany, § 35a EStG. The maximum amount applies per household and year for all tradesmen's services combined; other invoices in the same year are included. The reduction from 2027 is a government draft and has not yet been adopted. No tax advice.
20 percent still apply in 2026According to current law, anything you transfer by 31 December 2026 will be counted at 20 percent. We usually complete renovations within a few days and show the labour portion separately on the invoice.

All methods apply in Germany. Care fund or KfW and tax bonus cannot be claimed for the same measure; separate invoices are required. Energy-related works under § 35c Income Tax Act apply to owners. The KfW grant 455-B can no longer be applied for as of 31 July 2026; the KfW loan 159 continues.
Property owners: Deduct bathroom renovation under § 35a EStG
Owner-occupiers can reclaim part of the tradesperson costs directly from the tax office under § 35a para. 3 EStG. The rule is simple: 20 percent of labour, travel and machinery costs, capped at €6,000 per year and household, result in a maximum tax saving of €1,200 annually. Unlike advertising expenses, this amount is deducted directly from the tax liability and is therefore independent of your personal tax rate. The catch is in the details: materials and cash payments are excluded, and since the 2024 Annual Tax Act, the formal requirements have been tightened.
Tradesperson bonus 2027: planned reduction to 15 percent and €900
According to the government draft of 2 September 2026, tradesperson services will only be deductible at 15 instead of 20 percent from 2027, with a maximum of 900 instead of 1,200 euros per year. This has not yet been decided. The decisive factor is the year of payment: what you transfer in 2026 counts at 20 percent under current law.
What can be deducted for bathroom renovation
Only work carried out by a professional company in the existing household is eligible. This includes removal and installation of bath, shower, washbasin and WC, tiling and grouting, sanitary installation, electrical work in the bathroom, plastering, painting, as well as coating of the bath or tiles. Travel and use of machinery are also eligible, provided they are itemised separately on the invoice.
Tradesperson's labour costs
Travel and call-out costs
Rental costs for machines and equipment
Consumables that are not permanently installed (e.g. sandpaper, protective film)
What cannot be deducted
Material costs (tiles, sanitary fittings, coating systems)
Own work, even if carried out professionally
Cash payments, regardless of receipt
Workshop work outside the household (BFH, judgment of 13 May 2020, ref. VI R 4/18) — prefabrication of a washbasin or shower in the joinery is excluded, only installation in the bathroom is eligible
Structural engineer services (BFH, judgment of 4 November 2021, ref. VI R 29/19) — structural calculations are considered expert services, not tradesperson work
What the invoice must contain
Invoice recipient is the taxpayer
Labour costs shown separately from material costs
Travel and machinery costs listed separately
Payment by bank transfer, SEPA direct debit or card payment
Receipts must be kept for at least 2 years (to be presented on request by the tax office)
Why cash payments and workshop work do not count
The formal requirements have been significantly tightened for the 2025 assessment period. Anyone wishing to claim the tax reduction must have an invoice that separately lists labour and material costs, and must transfer the invoice amount to the tradesperson's account. This obligation has applied without exception since the 2024 Annual Tax Act, even in cases where previous case law had allowed for leniency (BFH, judgment of 12 April 2022, Ref. VI R 2/20). The invoice must be made out to the taxpayer; a transfer from a third party is no longer sufficient.
Turn of the year: Split payment, use the bonus twice
If the labour costs of a bathroom renovation exceed the maximum amount of €6,000, the tax saving can be almost doubled by cleverly splitting the payment across two assessment periods. According to § 11 para. 2 EStG, the cash outflow principle applies, i.e. the date of the transfer. If you split the final invoice across the turn of the year, you can use the annual cap twice.
Example calculation with €10,000 labour costs
One-off payment in December
€1,200 savings
€10,000 labour costs paid in one tax year
The maximum amount according to § 35a EStG is capped at €6,000 labour costs per year. Any amount above this, €4,000, is not tax-deductible, as the tax office only considers the payment date according to the cash principle (§ 11 para. 2 EStG).
Payment split over the turn of the year
€2,000 savings
€6,000 down payment in December, €4,000 final payment in January
If you spread the final invoice over two tax periods, you can utilise the annual cap twice: €1,200 in the first year, €800 in the second, calculated according to current law. The prerequisite is that the down payment is actually transferred before 31 December.
Important
The prerequisite is that the down payment invoice is actually transferred before the turn of the year and the final invoice is only due in the following year. Simply changing the date on the invoice without the corresponding payment is not sufficient — according to § 11 para. 2 EStG, only the actual flow of funds is decisive. When moving from 2026 to 2027, the planned reduction also applies: The €4,000 paid in January 2027 would then result in €600 instead of €800.
Energy efficiency measures according to § 35c EStG
If you renew the heating system, integrate a heat pump, or install a ventilation system for humidity control as part of your bathroom renovation, you can benefit from the significantly more attractive subsidy under § 35c EStG instead of § 35a. Here, 20 percent of the total costs can be deducted over three years (7 percent in the year of completion, 7 percent in the following year, 6 percent in the third year), capped at €40,000 per property — including materials. The requirements are that the building is at least 10 years old, the work is carried out by a recognised specialist company, and you have the official specialist contractor certificate. Double funding with § 35a or KfW funds for the same measure is excluded.
Tenants and owner-occupied flats: Who can claim what
The tax bonus under § 35a EStG is available to those who commission and pay for the work in their own household. Ownership of the property is not a requirement. What matters is who receives and pays the invoice.
As a tenant
If you commission the renovation yourself, for example a new bath coating or a bathtub door with the landlord’s consent, the same rules apply to you as to owners: 20 percent of the labour costs, up to a maximum of 1,200 euros per year. The invoice must be made out to you, and you must make the payment.
If the landlord renovates the bathroom, you can only claim the craftsmen’s costs that are passed on to you via the service charge statement, such as for maintenance or repairs in the building. The statement must show the relevant share. A higher rent after modernisation does not count.
In the owner-occupied flat
The bathroom fittings are part of the separate property. If you commission the renovation yourself and live in the flat, you can deduct the labour costs as you would in your own house under § 35a EStG. Work on communal property, such as riser pipes, is commissioned by the owners‘ association. Your share of the labour costs is shown in the annual statement from the property management, and you can also claim this.
If you rent out the flat, the tax bonus does not apply. In this case, the costs count as income-related expenses, including materials. More information for landlords.
With care level: Correctly combine care fund and tax benefits
When renovating for age-appropriate accessibility in Germany, you can combine two options: The nursing care fund pays up to €4,180 directly if you have a care level, and you can deduct your own contribution, including materials, as an extraordinary burden under § 33 EStG. The tax bonus under § 35a does not apply to subsidised measures. The KfW grant 455-B can no longer be applied for as of 31 July 2026, but the KfW loan 159 is still available (more in the guide). KfW funding for bathrooms).
Care fund grant of €4,180 under § 40 SGB XI
With the Care Support and Relief Act, the grant for measures to improve the living environment will be increased from €4,000 to €4,180 per person in need of care as of 1 January 2025. The prerequisite is a recognised care level from 1 to 5. The grant is not taxable and does not have to be repaid, provided the subsidised measure is actually implemented.
Important lever — household accumulation: If several people in need of care live in the same household, the amounts are added together. For four people in need of care, up to €16,720 can be paid out for a joint measure, provided all benefit.
Which bathroom measures are recognised by the care fund:
Conversion of bath to level-access shower
Installation of a bathtub door
Widening the bathroom door to at least 80 cm
Installation of grab, support and folding handles
Slip-resistant flooring
Accessible washbasin, height-adjustable WC
Drive system for doors or shutters in the bathroom
Application process
Application before the start of the project to be submitted to the responsible care fund. The care fund must decide within 3 weeks otherwise the assumption of approval according to § 18 SGB IV applies — the measure may then begin even without explicit approval, and the grant will be paid.
Exceptional expenses under § 33 EStG
If the bathroom renovation is medically justified (illness, disability, acute need for care), a significantly more attractive tax route opens up: deduction as an exceptional expense under § 33 EStG. Unlike § 35a, here material costs are also fully deductible, i.e. tiles, bath, shower, sanitary objects and special coatings.
Formal requirements for § 33 EStG
Preliminary certificate: The medical necessity must be proven before the start of construction by an official medical certificate or a certificate from the Medical Service. A subsequent certificate will result in complete exclusion.
Reasonable burden: The expenses are only taken into account once they exceed your individual burden threshold. Depending on income, marital status, and number of children, this threshold is between 1 and 7 percent of the total amount of income.
Compensation for benefit "new for old": When renovating older bathrooms, the value-preserving portion is deducted. Only the additional costs due to disability (for example, the extra cost for a level-access shower compared to a standard bathtub) remain deductible; the general renovation portion is covered under § 35a EStG.
Combine care fund and § 33 EStG
The care fund and § 35a cannot be used for the same subsidised measure. The permissible and often more attractive tax combination is via § 33 EStG: In the case of a medically indicated conversion, the care fund grant reduces the deductible costs, but the remaining personal contribution is fully deductible as an exceptional expense — including materials.
Example calculation: €15,000 conversion with care level 3
Only care fund applied for
€4,180 relief
€15,000 total costs for barrier-free conversion
The care fund pays out the full maximum amount directly. Personal contribution €10,820, no additional tax deduction, as § 35a does not apply to the subsidised measure and § 33 was not applied for.
Care fund + § 33 EStG combined
€6,525 relief
Additionally, around €2,345 via § 33 EStG (marginal tax rate 30%)
If there is a medical indication and a prior certificate, the personal contribution of €10,820 can be deducted as an extraordinary burden, minus the reasonable burden (example: €3,000 for €50,000 income). €7,820 are effective at your personal marginal tax rate. The care level notice replaces the official medical certificate.
Where § 35a does apply after all
If, in parallel to the subsidised conversion, further works not subsidised by the care fund or KfW take place (for example, renewing tiles or recoating a wall) and these are listed on a separate invoice, the tax reduction according to § 35a EStG remains valid for this part. What matters is a clear computational and documentary separation.
Landlords: Advertising costs instead of tax bonus
Landlords follow a different logic than owner-occupiers. Renovation costs for rented bathrooms can generally be deducted as income-related expenses from rental and leasing income (§ 21 EStG). The key question is not whether, but when the tax office recognises the costs: immediately and in full in the year of payment (maintenance expenses) or spread over 50 years (capital expenditure). Two tax pitfalls regularly shift the renovation into the second category and impact liquidity.
Are you letting a property and want to renovate the bathroom between two tenancies? Our page shows how this can be done without demolition in just a few days, even in occupied flats. Bathroom renovation in rented flats.
Immediate deduction as maintenance expense
If the renovation restores the original condition of the bathroom or replaces worn components in a contemporary manner without increasing the living standard, the expenses are considered maintenance costs. They are 100 percent deductible in the year of payment — including materials, labour, travel and incidental costs. Typical cases: replacing the bath, renewing tiles, replacing sanitary objects, having the bath or tiles coated.
The 15 percent threshold in the first three years after purchase
Within the first three years after acquiring the property, a special hurdle applies according to § 6 para. 1 no. 1a EStG: If the renovation costs (excluding VAT) exceed 15 percent of the acquisition costs of the building, the tax office will retroactively classify all expenses as acquisition-related production costs. Immediate deduction is completely forfeited, and the costs are depreciated over the remaining useful life (usually 50 years, i.e. 2 percent per year).
Renovation in the 2nd year after purchase
€700 per year
€35,000 renovation costs, spread over 50 years depreciation (AfA)
Acquisition cost building share €200,000, the 15 percent threshold is €30,000 net. The renovation exceeds the threshold and is fully classified as production costs. Immediate deduction lost, liquidity remains tied up for 50 years.
Renovation in the 4th year after purchase
€14,700 in the 1st year
€35,000 immediately deductible at the top tax rate of 42%
After the 3-year period, the 15 percent threshold no longer applies. The full €35,000 can be deducted as maintenance expenses in the year of payment. The full tax saving takes effect immediately, optionally spread over up to 5 years according to § 82b EStDV.
Important
The 15 percent threshold applies exclusively in the first three years after acquisition. If you are planning a major bathroom renovation during this period, check whether the measure can be split into several stages below the threshold or postponed to the fourth year. Pure cosmetic repairs such as painting or minor repairs are not included in the threshold according to BFH case law.
Standard leap in 3 out of 4 areas (5-year rule)
A second, less well-known pitfall concerns modernisations that raise the living standard. If a renovation improves at least three of the four core areas (sanitary, heating, electrical installation, windows) to a higher level within five years, case law qualifies the entire package of measures as production costs — even if the 15 percent threshold is not exceeded.
Practical tip
Measures stagger over time: Bathroom-sanitary 2026, heating 2028, electrical installation 2031. If you maintain a gap of more than five years between the areas, you remain eligible for immediate deduction. However, a complete renovation in one year shifts the costs into the 50-year depreciation and ties up liquidity in the five-digit range over the period.
Special depreciation according to § 7b EStG
The special depreciation according to § 7b EStG, reformed by the Growth Opportunities Act (5 percent annually over four years in addition to the regular depreciation, construction cost cap €5,200/m², assessment basis up to €4,000/m²), applies exclusively to newly created rental housing, such as when converting an attic into a self-contained rental flat with its own bathroom. § 7b does not apply to the renovation of an existing rented bathroom.
Which subsidies can be combined?
Combination is possible, but never for the same invoice item. If you want to use both a grant and a tax bonus, you need separate invoices for subsidised and non-subsidised work. The table shows the most common cases in Germany.
Combination
Is that possible?
What matters
Care fund + § 33 EStG
Yes
The personal contribution above the reasonable burden is tax-deductible, including materials. The care level notice is sufficient as proof.
Care fund + health insurance fund
Yes
Renovation and aids are separate funds and are not offset against each other.
KfW loan 159 + care fund
Yes
For separate partial measures with individual invoices.
Care fund + § 35a EStG
No
Not for the same measure. Work not subsidised by the care fund remains tax-deductible on your own invoice.
KfW + § 35a EStG
No
The subsidised measure is excluded from the tax bonus. Non-subsidised parts on your own invoice remain tax-deductible.
§ 35a + § 35c EStG
No
Not for the same measure. Bathroom via § 35a and heating via § 35c on separate invoices are possible.
Golden Rule
Direct grants (care fund, KfW) and the tax bonus under § 35a EStG cannot be combined for the same measure. If you wish to use both options, you will need clearly separated invoices for subsidised and non-subsidised parts of the measure. Applications for direct grants must be submitted before signing the contract; the tax declaration is made afterwards.
Frequently asked questions about tax deduction for bathroom renovation
Owner-occupiers can deduct 20 percent of their tradesperson’s labour, travel, and machinery costs under § 35a EStG, capped at €6,000 per year, resulting in a maximum tax saving of €1,200. According to the government draft, from 2027 this will be reduced to 15 percent and a maximum of €900. Material costs are excluded. For medically necessary conversions, § 33 EStG also applies, allowing full deduction of material costs, minus the reasonable personal contribution. Landlords can claim 100 percent of renovation costs as advertising expenses, provided these are maintenance expenses. If the heating system is renewed as part of the renovation, § 35c EStG can also be used, with up to €40,000 in funding over three years.
The annual maximum amount under § 35a para. 3 EStG is €6,000 in deductible labour costs per household, resulting in a maximum tax saving of €1,200 (20 percent). According to the government draft of 2 September 2026, the maximum amount will be reduced to €900 (15 percent) from 2027. The amount is deducted directly from the tax liability and is therefore independent of the personal tax rate. If you have higher labour costs, you can split the payment over the turn of the year and thus use the cap in two assessment periods. With €10,000 in labour costs, you can achieve up to €2,000 in tax savings this way instead of just €1,200. If the second payment falls in 2027, the lower rate already applies to it according to the draft.
Not under § 35a EStG. Tiles, bathtubs, showers, sanitary fittings, and coating systems are not tax-deductible for owner-occupiers, even if they are essential for the renovation. There are two exceptions: If there is a medical indication, material costs are fully deductible under § 33 EStG (exceptional burdens). For rented bathrooms, material costs are always 100 percent deductible as advertising expenses at the personal marginal tax rate. Under the energy efficiency funding scheme (§ 35c EStG), both material and labour costs are eligible for funding.
The invoice must be made out to the taxpayer and show labour costs separately from material costs. Travel and machinery costs must be listed as separate items on the invoice. Since the 2024 Annual Tax Act, payment must be made by bank transfer to the tradesperson’s account; cash payments completely exclude the tax deduction. Receipts must be kept for at least two years and presented to the tax office upon request. For workshop work carried out outside the household (e.g. prefabrication in a joinery), the invoice must show the workshop share separately from the on-site installation wage, as only the latter is eligible (BFH VI R 4/18).
No. Since the 2025 assessment period, payment by bank transfer to the service provider’s account is a mandatory requirement under § 35a para. 5 sentence 3 EStG. Even a receipted cash payment leads to the complete loss of the tax reduction. Accepted payment methods are bank transfer, standing order, SEPA direct debit, and card payment. The regulation was tightened by the 2024 Annual Tax Act in response to the BFH ruling VI R 2/20, which had previously allowed exceptions in individual cases. These exceptions no longer apply from 2025.
No. § 35a EStG only recognises professional tradesperson services with a proper invoice. If you lay tiles yourself or remove the bathtub, you cannot claim your own labour or the materials used for tax purposes. Landlords can only claim material costs as advertising expenses for personal contributions if they can prove they were purchased for the rented property. Own labour is not deductible, regardless of its extent or professionalism.
Yes, if you commission and pay for the work yourself, for example with the landlord’s consent. Then § 35a EStG applies to you as it does to owners: 20 percent of labour costs, up to 1,200 euros per year, from 2027 according to the government draft 15 percent and 900 euros. If the landlord renovates the bathroom, you can only claim the tradesperson costs that are passed on to you via the service charge statement. A higher rent after modernisation does not count.
If you live in the flat yourself and commission the bathroom renovation, you can deduct the labour costs under § 35a EStG as you would in your own house. Work on communal property, such as risers, is commissioned by the owners’ association. Your share of these labour costs is shown in the annual statement from the property management, and you can also claim this. If you rent out the flat, the costs count as advertising expenses instead, including materials.
Yes, via three parallel routes: care fund under § 40 SGB XI (up to €4,180 per person in need of care, cumulative in the household up to €16,720), KfW loan 159 (grant 455-B will no longer accept new applications after 31 July 2026), and exceptional burdens under § 33 EStG for medical indications. Care fund grants and KfW must be applied for before the project begins; § 33 EStG is claimed later in the tax return. Important: Measures funded by the care fund or KfW are excluded from the § 35a tax bonus, but can be combined with § 33 EStG.
The care fund and § 35a EStG cannot be used for the same measure. The permissible and often more attractive combination is care fund plus § 33 EStG: The care fund grant is paid out directly, and the remaining personal contribution is fully deductible as an exceptional burden (including materials), minus the reasonable personal contribution. Example: With €15,000 renovation costs and care level 3, the total relief is around €6,525 (€4,180 care fund + approx. €2,345 tax saving at a marginal tax rate of 30 percent). If a care level has already been determined, the decision replaces the official medical certificate.
Yes, in full as advertising expenses for income from letting and leasing (§ 21 EStG). Material and labour costs are deducted 100 percent at the personal marginal tax rate, which at a top tax rate of 42 percent means €4,200 tax saving from €10,000 renovation costs. The prerequisite is that these are maintenance expenses (no significant increase in living standard in 3 out of 4 areas) and the 15 percent limit in the first three years after purchase is not exceeded. Larger expenses can optionally be spread over 2 to 5 years under § 82b EStDV.
If the renovation costs in the first three years after purchase exceed 15 percent of the building’s acquisition costs (excluding VAT), all expenses are considered acquisition-related production costs under § 6 para. 1 no. 1a EStG. Immediate deduction is completely excluded; the costs are depreciated over the remaining useful life (usually 50 years, i.e. 2 percent per year). Practical consequence: Either split major bathroom modernisations to stay below the 15 percent limit or postpone them to the fourth year after purchase. Pure cosmetic repairs such as painting are not included in the limit according to BFH case law.
If the renovation is carried out with the specific intention of subsequently letting the property, the costs can be deducted as anticipated advertising expenses. The prerequisite is a demonstrable intention to let (e.g. through rental advertisements, estate agent contracts, or documented advertising) and a temporal connection between the renovation and the start of letting. If the property is used personally in the meantime or sold instead of being let, the tax office will generally not recognise the costs. When acquiring a vacant property for letting, the 15 percent limit for acquisition-related production costs also applies.
If, as part of the renovation, the heating system is renewed, a heat pump is installed, a ventilation system for moisture control is fitted, or external walls, ceilings, or roofs are insulated. Owner-occupiers can then deduct 20 percent of the total costs (including materials) spread over three years, capped at €40,000 per property. Requirements: building older than 10 years, work carried out by a recognised specialist company, submission of the official specialist contractor’s certificate according to the standard template. Double funding with KfW-BEG or § 35a for the same measure is excluded.

„On the recommendation of a friend, we got in touch with bazuba Rostock for our bathroom renovation. Since it’s a rental apartment, there were quite a few things to consider with the landlord/owner’s approval, but we were able to implement many individual wishes at our own expense. The initial contact was very pleasant, and first, an assessment was made, and of course, the initial ideas and wishes for the project were recorded. The basic task was to transform the over 20-year-old tiled bathroom with an old bathtub into a modern seamless bathroom with a walk-in rain shower. The company’s showroom had quite a few displays, where we could get our first personal impressions. Then we put together the rest from the catalogs, and we also relied on the advice and recommendations of the boss there, who contributed some great ideas. Then we received an offer with a 3D visualization of the finished bathroom. This allowed us to work very well together with the owner and bazuba on the details and arrive at a final result. The correspondence between bazuba and the owner also went very smoothly, and we were very well informed about delivery times, construction times, and the entire process up to the finished bathroom. We helped set up the construction site by covering the floor and cabinets, and the company’s employees were very friendly and informative about the work steps. We hardly had to ask anything because every morning we were informed about what would happen that day until quitting time. The announced construction time was even undercut by 2 days because everything really fit together, and the trades worked hand in hand. The handover and the finished result, including explanations of all the components, care instructions, and warranties, worked wonderfully and were presented to us very transparently. All in all, we are very satisfied with the result, and for the small space available, it almost feels like being in a good hotel when you step into the shower in the morning 😉 I can definitely recommend bazuba Rostock and am happy to show some before-and-after pictures. It’s not decorated or furnished yet, but it’s about the raw result."

„Complete renovation of bathroom and WC — After weeks of searching online for a company that could take on our project (complete renovation of bathroom and WC), we came across bazuba. Although all customer reviews pointed to an outstanding company, we still felt the need to visit the company location in Guntramsdorf in person first. But from that moment on, it was clear to us that only this company was suitable for our project. The exceptionally warm, competent, polite, friendly, and patient team immediately convinced us. From then on, everything went very quickly. We arranged an inspection appointment with Mr. Weninger. The inspection, consultation, measuring, and addressing special requests all took place in a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The gentleman was very patient and really took a lot of time for us, only leaving once even the smallest detail was clarified. After the very detailed offer and placing the order, the renovation work began punctually on the agreed date. From here on, I have to keep it short, otherwise I would need two more pages. ALL involved, whether subcontractors or the truly outstanding bazuba specialists, carried out their tasks so competently, punctually, cleanly, almost dust-free, quickly, friendly, politely, courteously, professionally, precisely, and expertly that words almost fail me. The continuous support and (after)care of my project are also worth highlighting. After completing the very extensive work, I now have two real gems (bathroom and WC), and I find myself spending much more time there than really necessary. The conclusion of a highly satisfied and enthusiastic customer: the best 10-star company I have ever dealt with. I have recommended and will always recommend bazuba."

„Everything just fits perfectly! :o) We had bazuba renovate our roughly 50-year-old bathroom and the equally old toilet, and also modernize the shower in the second bathroom. From the very first (phone) contact, we had a good feeling. Bathroom planner Raffael came to our home and went through the various steps with us, giving us good advice and showing a lot of patience. We were also able to talk openly about the price, and in the end he gave us an offer we were very happy with. We had also gotten quotes from competitors, which were noticeably more expensive—we’re talking +50% or more. The implementation then went perfectly. First came the demolition team, then the electricians, the plasterers/floor layers, and finally the installation team. Overall, the work took almost three weeks, but that was agreed on beforehand and so was fine. All the workers always arrived as scheduled, were very friendly, explained a lot to us, and did a great job. We were also very grateful that they pointed out some possible/necessary improvements. Our spontaneous change requests were welcomed and carried out. At the same time, planner Raffael and project manager Anel were always reachable and responded quickly to our questions. The result speaks for itself: from old-fashioned, dark rooms with very worn installations, we now have bright, modern wet rooms that you enjoy entering again. The planning concept was implemented 100% in reality and at what we think is a really fair price. No trouble with the craftsmen at all—in fact, it was a pleasure, and we can warmly recommend the entire bazuba team."

„Due to water damage in 2023 and subsequent repair work by a specialist company, we were then looking for a company to get our bathroom back in shape. This turned out to be not so easy; local companies either declined due to lack of time or didn’t show up despite appointments. Through internet research, we came across bazuba in Karlsruhe. We quickly had a first appointment with Mr. Glutsch. He arrived on time at our place, listened to our ideas about remodeling the bathroom, and shared his professional knowledge and comments. He took measurements, made notes, and promised to prepare an offer, which arrived in the shortest time. Due to several work appointments with bazuba, he already told us in advance that the work would be delayed and we should expect a date in March/April. But that didn’t matter to us in the end, since thanks to the preliminary work of the renovation company, we could still use our 30-year-old bathroom. When choosing the ceramics and the walk-in shower, we were with Mr. Glutsch at C.Ufer in KA (top advice!). In April, the work started on our partially renovated bathroom. After about 2 weeks, we could fully use our new bathroom; for the shower enclosure, we had to make do with a temporary solution, which was replaced after 5 weeks by a glass partition from Kermi. All in all, we were very impressed by the support and advice from bazuba (special thanks to Mr. Glutsch). A big compliment to the two skilled workers responsible for the work!! Without a doubt, 5 stars for bazuba."

„Good decision! — We chose BAZUBA because of a report on an online portal... and we have no regrets! Our wishes were discussed and planned in the showroom with an incredible amount of patience. Even changes and special requests before the renovation started were implemented quickly and easily. The entire construction team also deserves mention – everyone was without exception polite and friendly. I especially want to mention Mr. Robert, who brightened every one of our site visits with his good mood. In hindsight, we can now list the following reasons why we recommend BAZUBA to everyone: 1.) The price – All other quotes were about 25% higher than BAZUBA’s. 2.) The team – As already mentioned, patience and friendliness are top priorities here. 3.) The planning – None of our wishes were considered impossible. Even special requests were gladly fulfilled. 4.) The working time – A conventional renovation would have taken at least 4 weeks and the whole house would have been dusty. BAZUBA finished on schedule in 2 weeks. 5.) The quality – Nothing wobbles, nothing is scratched. The bathtub looks like new. The walls are flawless. Every joint fits perfectly. 6.) The look – We chose a seamless bathroom. Compared to tiles, our bathroom now feels much friendlier and warmer. 7.) The warranty! All in all, we are satisfied customers and would have our bathroom renovated by BAZUBA again anytime."

„Perfect! Absolutely recommend. — Tub out and shower in! From start to finish, we can only give the highest praise. The consultant, Mr. Raffael Weninger, gave us excellent advice at home. He took our needs into account and came up with a perfect plan for us with his great ideas. The craftsmen also deserve the highest praise. They were extremely careful to avoid dust and dirt, which is not easy with this kind of work. The first two days, two careful installers took on their responsible tasks. After all, all newly laid water pipes and drains have to be completely sealed. The third and fourth days belonged to the quick gentlemen Jànos and Gàbor, who were able to complete this partial renovation on time — without taking a break! It must be said that all "our" four craftsmen are extremely friendly and hardworking. Otherwise, our project would not have been completed perfectly in this relatively short time. On the third day, the company owner visited us, checked on the progress, and asked about our satisfaction so far. That builds trust. Now we enjoy our new shower pleasure every day! We gladly recommend this company with its great employees. Warm regards! Christian & Sylvia Karner"

„NEW BATHROOM For about 3 weeks now, we have been proud owners of a seamless bathroom and toilet. The first team from bazuba arrived on time and very punctual, professionally covering everything from the front door up to the bathroom, including the stairs, and began dismantling the old sanitary fixtures, disposing of everything no longer needed. From then on, things moved quickly every day. Congratulations to your employees. Everyone was extremely friendly, polite, and really hardworking. No matter what was being done, we were always asked if everything was okay or if we had other wishes. The new walk-in shower is truly a dream, the walls seamless and so beautifully bright, and the floor really very nice and easy to maintain. The toilet was done in the same style. Simply beautiful. I wanted to wait with the review until I got used to the new bathroom. Every morning, when I enter our beautiful bathroom, I am very happy. No matter which team was on site, all employees did professional work. We will always remember bazuba from Guntramsdorf fondly and will gladly recommend them. Thank you very much for everything. Best regards, Renate P."
