Bathroom renovation in Leeuwarden
A bathroom should look good, but above all it must be technically sound. Waterproofing, ventilation, pipework, electrics and finishing determine how long it stays in good condition. In older Leeuwarden homes we therefore check the floor, walls, pipes, drains and ventilation in advance; old pipework or timber floors often need extra attention.
A bathroom usually stays more affordable when the layout remains the same. Moving the shower, toilet or basin requires extra pipework. We also agree the order of work in advance, including when water or power will be temporarily switched off. See our bathroom renovation service and the prices in bathroom renovation costs.
