Planning a Bathroom Renovation
A bathroom renovation starts with the existing wet areas, ventilation, layout and the interfaces between waterproofing and finishes.

Tile and Backsplash Installation
Tile layout, substrate and edge details matter as much as tile choice, especially where splash exposure changes the assembly.

Common questions
- Can you quote a bathroom from photographs?
- Room-wide photos, close-ups, measurements, and product links help start the discussion. Concealed moisture damage and the condition behind existing finishes may still require inspection.
- Are hidden repairs included?
- Unknown damage is not assumed included. The estimate should separate the agreed work from conditions that could change the scope after assessment or opening up.
