View Frequently Asked Questions
About Bathroom Renovations

How much does it cost to renovate a bathroom?
The cost of renovating a bathroom can vary greatly, depending on its size, the materials chosen, and the type of work. On average, a standard renovation can range between €2,000 and €8,000. To get a more detailed estimate, it's recommended to visit the property.
How long does a bathroom renovation take?
The duration of a bathroom renovation typically ranges from 7 to 15 days, depending on the project’s complexity, material availability, and any structural changes.
What is included in a bathroom renovation estimate?
Usually, the estimate includes demolition, installation of new plumbing, sanitation, electrical work, coverings, carpentry, installation of sanitary ware, furniture (when requested), and all necessary materials.
What is the warranty on the work?
We offer a 2-year warranty in accordance with current legislation. Additionally, we provide an extra 5-year warranty on labor.
Do I need a permit for the renovation?
For small renovations that don’t affect the structure, permits are generally not required. For larger modifications, a minor construction permit may be necessary, which we can handle for you.
Can I use other areas of the house during the renovation?
Yes, you can continue using the rest of the house during the renovation. We take all necessary precautions to minimize inconvenience.
What materials are best for a durable bathroom?
We recommend ceramic or porcelain tiles, stainless steel faucets, and moisture-resistant furniture.
Can I change the bathroom layout?
Yes, it's possible to change the layout, but alterations to plumbing and electrical systems may be required. During the design process, we help you find the most functional and aesthetic layout based on your needs and available space.
How much space do I need for a bathroom?
The minimum recommended space for a functional bathroom is 3 to 4 m². However, we can also design efficient solutions for smaller areas by maximizing functionality through smart design.
Should I replace the bathtub with a shower?
It depends on your preferences and needs. Replacing the bathtub with a shower is a popular trend as it optimizes space, enhances accessibility, and can be safer—especially for seniors or those with reduced mobility. However, if you prefer to keep the bathtub, we can offer modern and efficient solutions for your case.
What is the applicable VAT rate?
The standard VAT rate for construction work is 23%. However, a reduced rate of 6% may apply if legal requirements are met.

About Kitchen Renovations

Where should I start when planning my kitchen?
The first step is to measure the space accurately. Consider the location of doors, windows, and existing connections. Think about how you currently use the kitchen and how you'd like to use it in the future.
How can I choose the ideal style?
Your lifestyle and personal preferences should guide your choice. While it's important to follow trends, functionality should never be compromised for aesthetics.
What’s the best layout for small kitchens?
Smaller kitchens benefit from single-line or parallel layouts, maximizing space without sacrificing functionality.
Is it important to respect the kitchen work triangle?
Yes. This concept improves kitchen efficiency by reducing movement between the sink, refrigerator, and stove.
What material should I choose for the countertop?
Materials such as granite, quartz, or treated wood are excellent options. The choice depends on your budget, lifestyle, and maintenance preferences.
How can I increase storage space?
Maximize every inch with deep drawers and smart storage solutions. Don’t forget to optimize corners and other unused areas.
What’s the best way to light a kitchen?
A combination of general, task, and decorative lighting is essential to create a functional and welcoming environment.
Should I select appliances before designing the kitchen?
Yes. This ensures that the space is optimized for the specific appliances you want to install.
What’s the ideal height for cabinets and countertops?
Although there are standards, we recommend adjusting the heights based on your personal comfort and height for a more ergonomic experience.
How can I ensure proper ventilation?
Invest in a high-quality range hood or extractor. Proper ventilation is crucial to keep the kitchen air clean and free of odors.
What are the best colors for the kitchen?
Light colors help visually expand the space, while dark or bold colors can create a more daring and personalized environment.
Should I opt for a double sink?
It depends on your needs. A double sink can be useful, but a large single sink might be better for smaller spaces.
What type of flooring is best for kitchens?
Durable and easy-to-clean materials such as porcelain or vinyl are popular choices to withstand daily use.
How can I integrate a dining area?
An island or cozy breakfast nook can be ideal, as long as it doesn't disrupt the kitchen's workflow.
What is the best type of sink for my kitchen?
Under-mount sinks are practical and aesthetically pleasing. Choose a material that complements your kitchen style and meets your needs.
How much should I budget for a kitchen renovation?
Set a realistic budget and leave room for unforeseen expenses. Costs can vary significantly depending on the materials and solutions you choose.
Should I follow the latest trends?
Trends can provide inspiration, but it's crucial to prioritize functionality and your preferences. Think about long-term design.
What impact does natural light have on kitchen design?
Maximizing natural light creates a warmer and more efficient space. The kitchen's orientation can greatly influence the final design.
Is an open-plan kitchen worth it?
If you’re looking for a more social and integrated space, an open-plan kitchen can be ideal. However, it's important to consider ventilation and organization.
