We cover Estepona
Older coastal apartments and classic town flats often still have old metal pipes. These systems lose water pressure as lime builds up inside the pipes. Replacing old pipes stops sudden leaks behind finished walls.
High air humidity from the sea settles on tiles and porous grout. Bathrooms without an extractor fan trap moisture against outside walls. This damp air leads to stubborn mould. In time, water seeps into the mortar bed and loosens floor tiles.
Owners often notice weak shower flow or damp spots on shared walls. Fixing leaks early stops damage before it spreads to next-door flats. We check the floor drains and replace broken parts with fresh, waterproof materials.
Practical solutions for coastal bathrooms
Bathroom refurbishment
In older apartment blocks, constant damp air causes wear behind bathroom tiles. A clear update replaces damaged wall boards and rusty pipe fittings. This work protects the walls of next-door flats from moisture. The flat gets sealed walls and fresh fittings that handle coastal air without mould or peeling paint.
Walk-in shower conversion
Narrow bathrooms in coastal townhouses gain space when you remove stepped shower trays. High humidity makes high tray edges slick and hard to clean. A walk-in shower flush with the floor opens up tight rooms. It removes trip steps so water drains fast into a floor channel.
Bath to shower conversion
Many holiday flats still have deep bathtubs that take up useful floor space. Swapping a heavy tub for a flat shower tray makes the room safer for owners and guests. The room feels bigger right away and uses far less water. It also removes the high step into the tub.
Bathroom refit
Hard water causes heavy scale inside old taps, drains, and cistern valves. A refit updates old basins, toilets, and pipework without breaking into main walls. Owners get fresh fittings that handle lime and keep strong water pressure. The new surfaces clean easily without harsh chemical cleaners.
Bathroom renovation
A full renovation fixes hidden leaks and lime-choked pipes under the tiles of older flats. We strip the room back to the bare walls and floors. This lets us fit new pipes, a proper extractor fan, and full waterproof seals. You get a safe, fresh bathroom built to handle coastal damp and hard water.

Your questions, answered
How does hard water affect new shower valves? +
Hard water builds limescale quickly inside shower valves. Modern ceramic discs resist lime build-up far better than old rubber washers. We fit shut-off valves so the valve can be cleaned without opening the wall.
Why does grout turn black around shower trays? +
Coastal air keeps damp bathrooms wet when air cannot circulate. Moisture soaks into standard cement grout and causes black mould. Using improved, water-resistant grout stops water from soaking into the wall behind the tiles.
Can old apartment pipes handle modern mixer taps? +
Properties built between the 1970s and 1990s often contain calcified metal pipes that restrict pressure. Installing high-flow mixers on scaled lines produces a weak spray. We replace corroded connections with smooth composite piping to restore proper water pressure.
What prevents leaks into the apartment downstairs? +
A solid seal under the floor tiles stops water from reaching the subfloor. Older town flats need this barrier because original floors have no moisture seal. A liquid seal around the floor drain keeps water from leaking downstairs.
What happens if I am not happy with the bathroom renovation? +
5-year warranty on the workmanship.
