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.
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.
Layered lighting prevents glare on mirrors. Use 3000K color temperature for flattering skin tones. Install anti-fog bulbs above the mirror. Place vanities at 1.5 meters high. Avoid low CRI lights that distort colors. Check if the current ceiling height allows for recessed can lights with proper spacing to avoid shadows on your face.
Avoid cheap paint-based sealers that peel off quickly. Demand liquid polymer membranes applied with a brush in 3 coats. The total thickness must reach at least 1.5 mm. Ask for a warranty on this specific layer. Waterproofing failures cause wet drywall behind walls within 2 years if skipped.
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.
Look for hairline cracks in the plaster before tiling. These indicate movement or moisture damage. Removing tiles without addressing the base wall will cause cracks to return. A professional must assess if wallboard needs replacement. Sealing over active leaks wastes money and leaves the structure vulnerable to rot and collapse.
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.
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.
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.
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.
