Repairs and problems
Is an old bathroom worth repairing or replacing?
The short answer
The deciding factor is usually the substrate. Sound walls and floors make repairs sensible; failed tanking or a wet deck rarely justifies patching.
How this is diagnosed
- Cosmetic tiredness with sound services and structure is a good candidate for resealing
- regrouting and replacing fittings.
- Damp substrates, cracked movement joints
- and repeated leaks point to a full strip-out because each repair only buys months.
Common questions
Can fittings be swapped without retiling?
Sometimes, if the new fittings cover the same footprint, otherwise tile repairs are inevitable.
What is the biggest hidden cost?
Finding a wet or rotten floor deck once the old suite comes out.
