Bathroom-Partial renovation

Only renew
what bothers you.

Not every bathroom needs a complete renovation. With Partial renovation, we specifically renew what bothers you: the bathtub, the tiles, the joints, the floor, or the high entry. The tiles remain on the wall, and the rest of the bathroom stays as it is. This way, you can renovate your bathroom without removing the tiles.

WE UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERNS

Renovate your bathroom without removing tiles: is it possible? Honest answers

"Is it worth it, or will everything have to be replaced in the end?"

A partial renovation is worthwhile if the pipes and layout are in good condition and mainly the surfaces look old. If you want to renew pipes, connections, or the room layout, complete renovation is the better option. We will tell you this honestly during the inspection.

"Won't you be able to see what is old and what is new afterwards?"

We match colours and surfaces to what remains. For tiles and bathtubs, there are over 250 colours to choose from. Often, the whole bathroom looks new, even though only two or three things have been renewed.

"How long will I not be able to use the bathroom?"

An anti-slip treatment takes around two hours, a bathtub resurfacing one day (usable again after 24 hours), a bathtub door one day, replacing the bathtub with a shower 2 to 3 days. The toilet and washbasin usually remain usable throughout.

“How much will it cost me?”

You only pay for what is renewed. Repairs start from around €450, slip resistance from around €450, bathtub door from around €2,900, and bath removal with shower installation from around €4,500. After the free inspection, you will receive a fixed price.

FROM PRACTICE

Three typical partial renovations

Most partial renovations are a combination of two or three measures. These three are particularly common.

  • Bath and tiles in a new colourThe bathtub is resurfaced (around €1,200 to €2,000, 1 day), and the wall tiles receive a new colour. The bathroom appears new afterwards, even though nothing was removed. Both coatings come with an 8-year guarantee.
  • Safer entryA bathtub door (from around €2,900, 1 day) or Shower instead of bathtub (from around €4,500, 2 to 3 days), plus a Anti-slip finish from around €450. In Germany, with a care level, a subsidy from the care fund is possible; in Austria, the federal states provide support.
  • New walls and floor, sanitary fittings remainSeamless walls or Wall panels directly onto the old tiles, plus a vinyl floor. Bath, toilet, and washbasin remain in place.

Do you want almost everything new, but without demolition and on a small budget? Then the ECO-Bad from around €8,000 is the right package. If you also want new pipes and a new layout, you will need a complete renovation.

„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"

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions about Bathroom-Partial renovation

What is a partial renovation in the bathroom?

With a partial renovation, only certain areas of the bathroom are renewed, for example the bathtub, the tiles, the joints, the floor, or the entry. Everything that is in good condition remains. bazuba works without demolition: tiles are coated or covered, bathtubs are resurfaced instead of replaced.

That depends on what is being renovated.

After the free inspection, you will receive a fixed price. Learn more in the Cost Guide.

Between two hours and a few days. The anti-slip treatment takes around two hours, bathtub resurfacing and bathtub door each take one day, Tub out, shower in two to three days. If several measures are combined, we schedule them directly one after the other.

Yes. Old tiles can be coated in over 250 colours, refinished without joints, or covered with large wall panels. If desired, a waterproof vinyl floor can be laid directly over the old tiles. The prerequisite is a solid, stable base, which we check during the inspection.

If pipes need to be replaced, the layout needs to be changed, or there is moisture behind the tiles. In these cases, a new surface alone will not help. We will inform you of this openly during the inspection and present both options: Complete renovation or eco-bathroom.

For barrier-free conversions such as the bathtub door or replacing the bathtub with a shower, the German care insurance fund pays up to €4,180 per measure for those with a care level. In Austria, there are specific subsidies depending on the federal state. Learn more at barrier-free bathroom.
