Small Bathroom Renovation in Ibiza
We turn 3–5m² bathrooms into functional, modern spaces. Wide shower, smart storage and quality finishes — even in the smallest rooms.
Small bathroom renovation: every centimetre counts
A well-designed small bathroom is fully functional without feeling cramped. The key is smart layout, a barrier-free shower and vertical storage.
Ideal for apartments, studios, holiday homes and older properties where space is at a premium. No major works, no loss of functionality.
Why a properly done small bathroom renovation makes all the difference
Sense of space
Clear glass screen, large mirror, LED lighting and light colours. Looks twice the size without knocking down walls.
Barrier-free shower
Flush-to-floor tray, fixed screen or open. Accessible, modern and visually more open.
Vertical storage
Wall niches, floating shelves, wall-hung vanity unit. Everything stored without taking up floor space.
Concealed installations
Back-to-wall cistern, concealed mixers, hidden pipe runs. Clean, easy to maintain.
Continuous materials
Same tile on floor and in shower, full-height wall tiling. No visual breaks means more perceived space.
Immediate added value
A modern bathroom in a small flat is a strong selling or rental argument. Clear return on investment.

Smart solutions to make the most of every m²
Open walk-in shower
For very narrow bathrooms, a shower with no door and a single fixed panel. Full sense of continuity.
Wall-hung vanity unit
Floating basin with drawers beneath. Frees up the floor, easier to clean and opens up the room visually.
Wall-hung WC
Back-to-wall cistern. Saves space, cleaner look and aesthetically superior.
Full-width mirror
Large mirror with integrated LED light. Visually doubles the space and improves lighting throughout.
In-shower niches
Recessed shelf in the wall for toiletries. No shelves eating into the space or cluttering the look.
Sliding or fixed screen
No hinged doors stealing space from the room. Minimum 8mm clear glass always.
How much does a small bathroom renovation cost in Ibiza?
Cost depends on finishes, starting condition and existing installations. Indicative ranges for 3–5m² bathrooms:
Basic renovation
3,500 – 5,000 EUR
Standard sanitaryware, mid-height wall tiling, resin shower tray, basic mixer.
Mid-range renovation
5,500 – 7,500 EUR
Wall-hung sanitaryware, full-height tiling, flush tray, quality concealed mixer, vanity unit with storage.
Premium renovation
8,000 – 11,000+ EUR
High-end materials, thermostatic mixer, rain shower, integrated LED lighting, bespoke design.
Factors that affect cost: condition of existing installations, access (upper floor without lift), specification level and programme urgency.
How long does a small bathroom renovation take?
2 to 3 weeks on average:
Week 1
Demolition, plumbing, electrical work and waterproofing
Week 2
Wall and floor tiling and drying time
Week 3
Sanitaryware, screen, finishes and professional clean
If unexpected issues arise (heavily deteriorated installations, hidden damp) this may extend by a few days. We always inform you before proceeding.
Mistakes to avoid in a small bathroom
Bathtub in 4m²
Wastes space and usability. A well-designed shower is far superior.
Opaque glass screen
Visually cuts the room in half. Always use clear glass.
Bulky furniture
An 80cm unit in a 3m² bathroom feels like a corridor. Always wall-hung and compact.
Dark colours
Reduce perceived space. White, beige, light greys or soft tones work best.
Poor lighting
Small and dark feels like a cupboard. Recessed LED plus a lit mirror is non-negotiable.
Cutting corners on waterproofing
Saving on waterproofing means damp problems within months. Invest here — it is the foundation of everything.

Frequently asked questions
Can you fit a shower in a 3m² bathroom?
Yes, perfectly. With a smart layout, flush-to-floor tray and fixed glass panel the result is functional and visually open.
Do all the tiles have to come off?
It depends on the condition. If tiles are well bonded and you like them we can work around them. If there is damp or loose tiles it is better to start fresh.
Can I use the bathroom during the renovation?
No. The bathroom is out of service for 2–3 weeks. If it is your only bathroom, plan an alternative.
Are materials included in the quote?
Yes, we give you a fixed price with all materials included. If you prefer to source them yourself we provide a detailed list of everything needed.
Do you provide a 3D design before starting?
Yes for full renovations. We show you how it will look before work begins so you can approve the layout and finishes.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes, 1 year on workmanship. Sanitaryware and materials carry the manufacturer warranty (2–5 years depending on brand).
