A barrel vaulted stone bathroom has a round mirror, a stone vessel basin on a wood shelf, a toilet and terracotta tiles.

Masonry first, plumbing second

In a stone house the wall is the plan. Moving a toilet, a basin or a shower means getting a pipe through or along a wall that does not want to be cut, and a company that works in these houses prices the masonry before the plumbing, because that is where the time goes. Keeping the fixtures where the pipe already is, and spending the money on the wet area and the finish, is the renovation that most often makes sense.

The bathrooms themselves are small, late additions with a small window and a floor that meets the ground or an old vault, and they are damp at the base of the walls in a way that the finish has to be designed around: the floor separated from what is under it, the wet area waterproofed to the top, ventilation that moves air, and a wall finish – lime plaster or microcement – that lets the stone behind it dry.

The houses are lived in all year and increasingly bought as second homes, and the bathroom that suits them is the finca bathroom: stone underfoot, plaster on the walls, a niche cut into the thickness, brass or iron, and a walk-in shower with a linear drain where the bath never fitted anyway.

What a bathroom here has to work around

  • A wall a forearm thick between the pipe and the fixture
  • A bathroom added late, where a pipe could be got through
  • A floor on the ground, or over a vault
  • Damp at the base of the walls
  • A small window, and ventilation that never kept up
  • A house lived in all year, or newly bought as a second home

Can the toilet move in a stone house?

It can, and the cost is in the wall: cutting a route through or along stone is masonry, and the company will price it as such. Keeping the toilet where the pipe already is and moving everything else is often the better renovation.

Why is the base of the wall always damp?

Because the floor meets the ground and the stone draws moisture up. A bathroom renovation is the moment to separate the floor from what is under it and to choose a wall finish that lets the stone dry; a company that works in these houses will raise it before you do.
