Bathroom renovation in Alhaurín de la Torre: what owners are asking for
Alhaurín de la Torre is primarily a primary residence market of Spanish-speaking homeowners who want to update a bathroom that no longer meets their current needs. The most common requests are bathtub-to-shower conversions, complete tiling renewal and updated fixtures and sanitary ware. For family homes and chalets, the scope is often larger, including plumbing renewal if the original installation is over 20 years old.
What a full bathroom renovation includes
A complete bathroom renovation in Alhaurín includes demolition of existing finishes, proper waterproofing of floor and walls before new tiling, plumbing inspection or renewal, new floor and wall tiling, sanitaryware and fixture installation, and final finishes. For flush walk-in shower installation, we assess feasibility according to available floor height at the site visit. In all cases, materials are presented for client approval before ordering.
Detailed quote and defined timeline
We carry out a free site visit to assess the bathroom, take measurements and confirm the actual scope. The quote we provide is fixed — no open items, no surprises at the end. The execution timeline is agreed before work begins. The owner knows when the project will finish before the first team arrives.
Renovating a bathroom on the Costa del Sol goes well beyond replacing tiles: it means resolving the tanking, the ventilation and the plumbing to a standard that copes with coastal humidity and the intensive use typical of second homes. Every project starts from a real technical setting-out on site, not from a template.
The decisions that drive the schedule and durability
The shower tray and the porcelain format. The flush-with-the-floor tray is now the standard: mineral-filled resin or extra-slim ceramic, a linear or concealed-grille waste and a 1.5-2 % fall towards the drain. Large-format porcelain (120x120, 120x260 cm) reduces grout lines and is easier to clean, but calls for C2TE-S1 deformable adhesive, adhesive on both surfaces and levelling clips. Wall-hung sanitaryware sits on a frame with a concealed cistern rated above 400 kg.
Hard water dictates the brassware. Hansgrohe thermostatic mixers with limescale-resistant coatings, suited to the local water. Porcelanosa, Roca, Duravit and Geberit complete the specification, with made-to-measure screens and a high-end finish.
Tanking and ventilation cannot be rushed. Flexible cement-based tanking across the shower area and the floor, with reinforcing bands at wall-to-floor junctions and corners and treatment around wastes and pipe penetrations. The 24-48 h cure before tiling is never skipped: skipping it is the commonest error, and a source of leaks. The Spanish Building Code (CTE) requires extraction in internal bathrooms and ambient humidity makes condensation worse: humidistat extractor fans or heat-recovery units clear the vapour and prevent mould, salt deposits and damage to grout and joinery.
A full bathroom usually takes 2-3 working weeks, screed curing and tanking included, with an in-house team on the payroll and a 5-year guarantee on the workmanship; watertightness, drainage and tap operation are tested before handover. We coordinate in Spanish and English. The full process, stage by stage, is in our guide to bathroom renovation on the Costa del Sol.
Renovating in Alhaurín de la Torre: local context
Alhaurín de la Torre isn't a seaside second-home village: it's a fast-growing residential town fifteen minutes from Málaga city and ten from the airport, where most owners live all year round. That changes what renovating here actually means. At Costa del Sol Reformas we treat renovations in Alhaurín de la Torre for what they are: projects for families who use the house every single day, detached villas on their own plot, townhouses and self-built homes that need a full update rather than a quick makeover for holiday lets. With our own in-house team, project management in Spanish and English, and a five-year guarantee, we run every job from start to finish, from El Peñón to Pinos de Alhaurín, always sticking to the timeline and budget agreed with each client.
Where we work: Pinos de Alhaurín, El Peñón / El Romeral-Peñón de Zapata, Zapata (Peñón de Zapata), Torrealquería, La Capellanía.
