Bathroom renovation in Estepona: second homes and villas
Estepona's property mix — town centre apartments, Nueva Milla de Oro villas, Cancelada and Selwo urbanisations — means bathroom renovations range from compact apartment updates to larger villa bathrooms with higher finish expectations. The most common requests: walk-in shower conversions, updated tiles and sanitaryware, and quality fittings suited to the property level. For second home owners, we carry out the renovation while you're away and confirm completion before you return. For villa renovations, we adapt the materials and finishes to the property's standard.
What's included
Demolition, waterproofing, plumbing, electrical, tiling, flooring, sanitaryware, shower screen or freestanding bath, furniture, lighting and finishes. All trades coordinated under a single project lead. For flush walk-in showers, feasibility depends on the floor height available — we confirm this in the site assessment before quoting. For Estepona villas, we work with large-format porcelain and quality fittings suited to the property level.
We work while you're away
We manage access, coordinate all trades and send progress updates throughout. For second home owners, we can carry out the full renovation autonomously and confirm completion with photographic documentation before you return. Our quotation is prepared after a site visit and reflects exactly what's been agreed. No open-ended items, no surprises at handover.
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 Estepona: local context
Renovating in Estepona is unlike anywhere else on the Costa del Sol. Two worlds meet here: the old town —the "Village of Flowers" and Garden of the Costa del Sol— with its Moorish maze of pedestrian streets, colourful flower pots and 50-plus murals, where restoring a two or three-storey Andalusian townhouse means respecting the façade and its traditional character; and the coastal corridor of the New Golden Mile, El Paraíso, Selwo and Atalaya, where golf villas and beachfront apartments call for high-end contemporary renovations. At Costa del Sol Reformas we handle both ends with our own in-house team, a 5-year guarantee and project management in Spanish and English. We know Estepona street by street, from the historic centre to the seafront.
Where we work: Casco Antiguo (Pueblo de las Flores), New Golden Mile, El Paraíso, Cancelada, Selwo, Atalaya.
