Bathroom Renovation in Palma

In the capital the bathroom is almost always an apartment bathroom: a small room off a corridor in the old town or the Eixample, fitted around a bath and a boxed pipe, sharing its stack with the flat above and its ceiling with the flat below. Describe the flat and we pass the request to bathroom renovation companies that work inside the city.

The stack, the community and the stair

A Palma bathroom is renovated inside a building that has opinions. The waste goes to a stack shared with the neighbours, so where the toilet can move is decided by the pipe and not by the plan. Anything that touches a shared duct, the facade or the structure is a matter for the community of owners before it is a matter for a bathroom company, and finding that out first is what keeps the design from being drawn twice.

Then the stair. A great many flats in the centre are reached by a stair that turns, and a shower tray, a slab of large-format porcelain or a sheet of glass that cannot make the turn is cut, changed or carried differently. A company that has fitted bathrooms in the old town asks about the stair before it asks about the tiles.

And the room below. In a block, the floor of your bathroom is somebody else’s ceiling, and the waterproofing under the new shower is the difference between a renovation and a dispute with a neighbour. It is the part of a Palma quote to read most carefully.

What a bathroom here has to work around

  • A community of owners, for anything beyond your own front door
  • A shared stack that decides where the toilet can go
  • A stair that turns, and a tray or a slab that has to come up it
  • A window onto a light well, or no window at all
  • A ceiling that belongs to the flat below
  • Hours the building allows work to happen
  • Old drainage that runs where nobody documented it
  • A boxed pipe where the bath used to be

Do I need the community’s permission to renovate a bathroom in Palma?

For work inside your own flat that does not touch a shared element, usually not, and for anything that reaches the stack, the facade, a shared duct or the structure, usually yes. The company will tell you which your project is once it has seen the building, and it is better asked before the strip-out than after.

Can the toilet move to the other wall in an apartment?

Only as far as the shared stack allows, and a company that works in the city will say how far that is. A basin and a shower move more easily than a toilet, and a bathroom that keeps the toilet where it is usually keeps the neighbours happy too.
