Plan for aging in place if relevant. Ensure clear floor space near the toilet and shower. Install grab bars into wall studs, not just tiles. Verify door swing width matches wheelchair needs. Ask for compliant fixture heights. Accessibility upgrades require precise measurement. Avoid retrofitting later, which is more expensive than planning ahead.
Ask how much extra tile is ordered for cuts and breakage. Standard waste factor ranges from 10 to 15%. Complex patterns increase this percentage. Verify batch consistency to avoid color mismatches. Uneven batches ruin the visual finish. Confirm the supplier can replace broken pieces from the same batch. This prevents patchwork appearance.
Define exactly what gets removed. Specify if tile down to subfloor or only surface layers. Include disposal methods for hazardous materials like asbestos if present. Agree on debris removal timing. Unclear demolition scope leads to surprise invoices. Request a line item for waste hauling to avoid hidden charges later.
Test every drain flow with 10 liters of water. Check for slow backups. Inspect all silicone seals around the shower base. Look for gaps at corners. Ensure the door swells properly in heat. Demand a final punch list of defects to fix before final payment. This forces corrective action on minor alignment issues.
A standard full bathroom renovation takes 2 to 4 weeks. Delays happen when custom vanities arrive late. Water supply shutoffs may last 1 to 2 days. Ask about the critical path. Delays in waterproofing drying time halt tile installation entirely. Pressure to skip drying time causes trapped water bubbles under tiles later.
Do not buy cabinets before measuring the finished floor. Tile adds 10 to 15 mm to the height. Standard vanity heights are 85 cm, but vary by user height. Check door swing clearance immediately. A 60 cm door needs 90 cm of open space. Misfitting furniture ruins the entire aesthetic and function of the room.
Not all adhesives are the same. Standard cement-based glue fails in wet rooms with radiant heat. Request flexible adhesive specifically rated for high humidity and thermal movement. It contains polymer additives. Check the back of the bag for applicable usage zones to ensure longevity and prevent delamination over time.
Require a full pressure test before tiling. Fill new pipes with water and hold for 2 to 4 hours. Check for drips or pressure drop. This catches leaks hidden under tile. Refusing this test risks paying twice for repair work. Insist on written sign-off from the plumber. This final check guarantees system integrity before closing walls.
Identify where the main water stopcock is located. Ensure easy access for future leaks. Consider installing local shutoffs near new fixtures. Verify valve functionality before handover. A stuck valve causes minor leaks to become major floods. Ask the contractor to test each valve twice. This simple check saves thousands in potential water damage.
Moving toilet or sink locations exceeds simple renovation. It requires new pipe runs and shutoff valves. Ask for a premium quote for relocated plumbing. Verify local code requirements for new fixtures. Relocation adds significant labor time. Confirm if trenching is needed for floor-mounted pipes. This affects your total budget heavily.
