WE UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERNS

Vinyl flooring in the bathroom: is it really waterproof? Honest answers

"Won't the tile joints show through?"

They will on an uneven surface. That’s why we first level the floor with a levelling compound and use a spiked roller to remove any air bubbles. Only when the compound is dry and the result is right do we install the flooring.

"Is vinyl really waterproof in the bathroom?"

The flooring itself does not absorb water, so splashes and wet feet are no problem. The weak points are the edges. That’s why we finish by applying new silicone joints at the walls, bath, and shower tray to prevent water from getting underneath the flooring.

"Does the toilet need to be removed for this?"

If necessary, we remove the toilet, vanity unit, and other parts and reinstall them after laying the flooring. This way, the flooring runs underneath and there is no cut edge around the toilet base.

"Is this suitable for underfloor heating?"

Yes. Vinyl conducts heat well and is therefore suitable for underfloor heating. Even without heating, it feels warmer than tiles and reduces impact sound.

THE DIFFERENCE

Install yourself or have it installed

Vinyl from DIY stores can be laid quickly. However, whether it lasts and looks good in the bathroom depends on the subfloor and the edges, especially where water can reach.

Lay it yourself bazuba installed
Subfloor Tile joints and edges are often visible Floor is levelled and vented with levelling compound
Holes and loose tiles Remain under the covering Are repaired beforehand
Around the toilet Cut out around the toilet base, the cut edge remains visible Toilet is removed and reinstalled if necessary

On a level floor without water contact, such as in a hallway, click vinyl can be installed well by DIY enthusiasts. In the bathroom, it depends on the connections to the bathtub, shower and toilet.

„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 our roughly 50-year-old bathroom and the equally old toilet renovated by bazuba, and also had the shower in the second bathroom modernized. From the very first (phone) contact, we had a good feeling. Bathroom planner Raffael came to our home and went through the various measures with us, advising us well and being very patient. We were also able to discuss the price well with him, and in the end, he made us an offer that we were very happy with. We had also obtained quotes from competitors, which were significantly more expensive — we’re talking +50% and more. The implementation then went perfectly. First came the dismantling team, then the electricians, the plasterers/floor layers, and finally the assembly team. Overall, the work took almost three weeks, but that was agreed upon in advance and was therefore fine. All 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 to us. Spontaneous change requests on our part were received and implemented kindly. At the same time, planner Raffael and project manager Anel were always reachable for us and responded quickly to our questions. The result speaks for itself: from old-fashioned, dark rooms with very worn installations, we now have friendly, modern wet rooms that you enjoy entering again. The planning concept was implemented 100% in reality and at what we believe is a really fair price. No hassle with the craftsmen, quite the opposite — 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"

FREQUENT QUESTIONS

Questions about vinyl flooring in the bathroom

Can you lay vinyl flooring over tiles in the bathroom?

Yes. The old tiles remain in place; nothing is removed. To prevent joints and edges from showing through the new flooring, the subfloor must be level. We therefore repair holes and missing tiles, level the floor with a levelling compound, and use a spiked roller to remove air bubbles. Only when the compound is dry is the vinyl flooring installed. Finally, we apply new silicone joints at the walls, bath, and shower tray.

The flooring itself does not absorb water, so splashes, wet feet, and daily cleaning are no problem. The critical areas are the edges: if water consistently gets underneath the flooring there, the subfloor can be damaged. That’s why clean silicone joints are needed at all connections to the wall, bath, and shower tray. Larger puddles, for example after showering, should be wiped up straight away.

Tiles, vinyl design flooring and coated floors are among the waterproof coverings suitable for bathrooms. Traditional laminate and parquet, on the other hand, swell when exposed to moisture. Which option is right for you depends on the condition of your existing tiles: if they are intact but simply unattractive, they can also be coated. If you want the floor to feel warmer and be quieter, vinyl is the better choice.

Yes, on the bathroom floor in front of the shower, but not as flooring inside a walk-in shower. Water stands there daily, and the area must be permanently sealed. Therefore, a shower tray or a sealed shower surface is required inside the shower. If you would like to replace your bathtub with a shower: Tub out, shower in we will complete this in 2 to 3 days.

If you install the flooring yourself, it is usually cut around the toilet base using a cardboard template. This is rarely completely neat, and the cut edge remains visible. We therefore remove the toilet if necessary, lay the flooring continuously, and then reinstall the toilet. With a wall-hung toilet, this is not necessary as there is no base on the floor.

Yes. Vinyl conducts heat well and is therefore suitable for underfloor heating. Even without heating, it feels warmer than tiles and reduces impact sound. It is important that the levelling compound is completely dry before installation.

This depends on the size of the bathroom, the condition of the subfloor, the chosen design, and travel distance. As a guideline, vinyl flooring in the bathroom at bazuba usually costs between €900 and €2,200. After the free inspection, you will receive a fixed price, no hidden costs. Compared to new tiles, you save on tile removal, construction debris, and often several trades.

You can find more figures, examples by bathroom size, and our price calculator in the guide. Bathroom renovation costs.

Vinyl flooring also consists mainly of PVC. PVC flooring usually refers to the thin material supplied on a roll, which is laid loosely or glued down. Vinyl design flooring is thicker, made up of several layers, and has a surface that very realistically imitates wood or stone. Our flooring is phthalate-free.

Matching your new floor

Waterproof walls with no joints, applied directly over the existing tiles.

Large, waterproof panels with minimal joints, in wood, concrete, or stone effect.

Floor, walls and ceramics in the WC or guest WC, usually completed in just a few days and without demolition.
