In Germany, the care fund contributes up to €4,180 for those with a care level, while in Austria, funding depends on the federal state.

CHOOSE YOUR SOLUTION
"We had our bathtub recoated and now it looks even better than new – snow-white and perfectly smooth! After more than 25 years, there were some minor signs of use and discolouration. If we had replaced the tub, we would also have needed new tiles, which would have meant a complete renovation! → so we saved around €15,000 in total! Many thanks for that and for the excellent work."
"Three months ago, I had my shower tray recoated from its original burgundy to a brilliant white and, indeed, the result is a real joy. The work was carried out promptly and with great professional expertise. This company delivers on its promises and is definitely to be recommended."
"Many thanks for this professional and prompt work! Our new (previously bahama beige, now white lacquered) bathtub looks as if it has just been installed and gives our bathroom a completely new look. The contact with the company, the quick appointment and the absolutely smooth process (clean, friendly and straightforward) were extremely pleasant!"
"I got an appointment for 'renewal of the bathtub coating' very quickly (after 4 days). After just 1.5 days, the new coating was applied, and the tub could be used again after 2 days. For me, it is the perfect solution."
"Today, a damaged area on our bathtub was repaired and we are very satisfied with the result. The repair was carried out cleanly, professionally and efficiently. Particularly noteworthy is the friendly and reliable communication from start to finish. We can fully recommend the service."
"Unfortunately, due to an accident, a piece broke off our new shower tray. The manufacturer then recommended Bazuba for the repair. Arranging an appointment worked very well and I was very satisfied with the employee's performance. He was very competent and friendly, and we are delighted with the result."
