Bathroom renovation in Benahavís for villas and high-end homes

Bespoke bathrooms for villas and high-end homes
In Benahavís we renovate bathrooms both in the village core and in villas within urbanisations such as La Zagaleta, El Madroñal, Los Arqueros and La Quinta. Each project is tailored to the level of the property: walk-in showers, made-to-measure screens, wall-hung sanitaryware, concealed taps, technical lighting and quality materials. We take care with the selection of finishes so the bathroom stays consistent with the rest of the property.
What a full bathroom renovation covers
A full bathroom renovation includes demolition, review and renewal of plumbing and electrical installations, waterproofing, tiling and flooring, sanitaryware and furniture, shower screen, lighting and finishes. We pay particular attention to waterproofing and ventilation, critical points in properties in the area. Everything is carried out and coordinated by our own team, with a single point of contact from start to finish.
Coordinated work for non-resident owners
Many owners in Benahavís are not based at the property during the work. We coordinate access with the urbanisation's security, supervise the work and report progress with regular updates in English. The price is fixed in writing based on the scope agreed at the site assessment — no open items and no surprises.
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.

Frequently asked questions
Do you renovate bathrooms in villas in La Zagaleta, El Madroñal or Los Arqueros?
Yes. We work in the village core of Benahavís and across its urbanisations. We coordinate access permits and working hours with each community's security and management.
Can you replace the bathtub with a walk-in shower?
Yes. It's one of the most common renovations. We replace the bath with a built-in or low-profile shower tray, with careful waterproofing, a made-to-measure screen and accessibility adaptations if required.
How long does a bathroom renovation take in Benahavís?
A full bathroom typically takes between 2 and 4 weeks depending on scope and materials. We confirm this in the written quotation after assessing the property.
Can you manage the work if I'm not based in Benahavís?
Yes. We coordinate access, supervise the work and report progress in English. You don't need to be present during the renovation.
Do you waterproof properly to prevent leaks?
Yes. Waterproofing is a key stage of our bathroom renovation: we treat floors and wet areas before tiling to prevent leaks into adjoining rooms or properties.
