Bath-to-shower conversion in Ciutat Vella.
In Ciutat Vella we turn the bath recess into a comfortable, safe shower: a non-slip tray, a screen that keeps splashes in and, if you need one, a grab rail.

What the bath-to-shower conversion includes
-
Bath removal
We take out the bath and only the tiles we must, leaving the rest of the room intact.

Waste reworked
We reposition the waste and set the fall towards the trap or soil stack.
-
Membrane under the tray
We waterproof the base and take the membrane up the shower walls.
-
Made-to-measure tray
Non-slip resin or stone-effect tray cut to fit the space left by the bath.
-
Wall made good
We close the front with matching tiles, a wall panel or new tiling.
-
Screen and taps
Fixed or sliding screen and, if you like, a thermostatic shower column.
From bath recess to easy shower in Ciutat Vella
Areas such as El Barri Gòtic and El Raval have plenty of narrow bathrooms in 1960s–70s buildings, with a wall-to-wall bath of 1.20 or 1.40 m. A made-to-measure tray fills exactly that space and frees up the entrance; if the lift is small, we use a cuttable tray or carry it up the stairs.
In bathrooms in areas such as Sant Pere, Santa Caterina and La Ribera the wall left by the bath is made good with salvaged tiles, a similar ceramic or a large decorative panel that covers the wet zone with no grout lines. It is a good moment to add a thermostatic shower column or a recessed niche for bottles.
On the visit we measure the recess and show you tray and screen options; from these we prepare a detailed written quote, and our team carries out the conversion and leaves the bathroom clean. We also work in nearby areas: Eixample, Sants-Montjuïc and Sant Martí.

Frequently asked questions
01Bath-to-shower conversion in Ciutat Vella: which areas do you cover?
We do this work in Ciutat Vella, in areas such as El Barri Gòtic, El Raval, Sant Pere, Santa Caterina, La Ribera and La Barceloneta, and also nearby: Eixample, Sants-Montjuïc and Sant Martí. Before starting we visit the property and prepare a detailed written quote.
02Do all the bathroom tiles have to come off?
No. We remove the band of tiles around the bath and the panel at the front; the rest of the room stays if it is in good condition.
03Can the tray sit flush with the floor?
It depends on the height of the waste and the floor slab. On the visit we check whether a flush fit is possible or a low-profile tray on the floor is wiser.
04Which tray suits older people?
One with a very low edge, a non-slip surface and room for a grab rail or fold-down seat fixed to a solid wall.
