Verify the existing floor slope before starting work. A standard bathroom floor needs a 2% slope toward the drain. If the current concrete base is uneven, the new tiles will crack. Ask for a digital level reading. Poor slope traps water, leading to mold and slipping hazards.
If noise bothers you, ask about sound-isolation materials. Standard drywall transmits flush sounds clearly. Suggest adding mass-loaded vinyl or resilient channels. Verify effectiveness for specific noise types. Soundproofing increases wall thickness by 2 to 4 inches. This reduces usable space slightly. Decide early to adjust cabinet sizing accordingly.
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.
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.
Inspect the concrete slab or wood subfloor beneath old tiles. Ask for moisture testing results. Replacing a damaged slab is costly but necessary for longevity. Check for levelness requiring self-leveling compound. A uneven subfloor cracks tiles later. Ensure the contractor includes this check in the initial estimate explicitly.
Request detailed product codes for new toilets, sinks, and faucets. Ensure kerbside compatibility with existing plumbing heights. Ask about water efficiency ratings to lower utility bills. Verify valve requirements before ordering. Mismatched fixtures cause rework delays. Confirm all parts are available before starting to avoid stalled progress.
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.
Opening walls often reveals rotted plumbing or bad electrical work. Add a 15% contingency to your budget. Do not let contractors cut corners here. Exposed pipes may need full replacement. Ask for itemized estimates for water damage fixes. Hidden costs are the primary reason projects overrun their initial financial projections significantly.
Thin grout lines under 3 mm should use sanded or unsanded grout depending on tile size. Large format tiles over 30 cm need flexible epoxy grout. Epoxy resists staining better than cement. It costs more but lasts longer. Ask about curing time. Water-based grout needs 24 hours before light foot traffic to avoid surface pitting.
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.
