Complete Bathroom Renovation Guide: What to Expect
Published on 2025-04-15 · 6 min read
A bathroom renovation is one of the most impactful upgrades you can make to your home. In Limassol’s competitive property market, a well-finished bathroom adds significant value and transforms daily living. Here’s what to expect when you renovate with our team.
How Long Does a Bathroom Renovation Take?
A standard bathroom (4–8 m²) typically takes 10–15 working days from demo to handover. Larger bathrooms with custom features can take 3–4 weeks.
The timeline breaks down roughly as:
- Demo & waterproofing — 2 days
- Plumbing & electrical rough-in — 2–3 days
- Tiling — 3–5 days
- Fixtures & finishing — 2–3 days
- Snagging & handover — 1 day
What Does Bathroom Renovation Cost in Limassol?
Costs vary by specification:
- Economy fit-out — €3,000–€5,000
- Standard renovation — €5,000–€9,000
- Premium / designer — €9,000–€18,000+
Prices include labour, waterproofing, tiling, fixtures, and waste removal. Materials are excluded unless you opt for a turnkey package.
Choosing the Right Tiles
Large-format tiles (60×120 cm or 80×160 cm) are popular in Limassol for their clean, seamless look. Rectified porcelain is the most practical choice — durable, easy to clean, and resistant to the island’s humidity.
For floors, choose tiles with an R10 or higher slip-resistance rating, especially in wet zones.
Waterproofing Is Not Optional
Cyprus humidity makes thorough waterproofing essential. We apply a liquid membrane system to all walls and floors in the wet zone, following EN 14891 standards. This is a hidden cost that some contractors skip — don’t let them.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Skipping the structural survey — old apartments may have corroded pipes hidden in walls.
- Choosing tiles before finalising layout — cuts waste significantly.
- Underestimating ventilation — Cyprus summers make a powerful extractor fan essential.
- DIY plumbing — Cyprus law requires licensed plumbers for any supply-line work.
