Bath-to-shower conversions in Horta-Guinardó: what we usually find
Areas such as El Baix Guinardó, El Guinardó and Can Baró 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.
On conversions in areas such as El Carmel and La Teixonera we take the tray outlet to the point that gives a continuous fall to the trap or soil stack; over a long run we lower the floor or raise the tray slightly. Before fitting the tray we test the waste with water.
Send us a photo of the bath and we will arrange a visit to check the waste and walls; you then receive a written quote with tray, screen and labour listed separately. We also convert baths in nearby areas: Gràcia, Nou Barris and Sant Andreu.

Frequently asked questions
01Bath-to-shower conversion in Horta-Guinardó: which areas do you cover?
We work in Horta-Guinardó in areas such as El Baix Guinardó, El Guinardó, Can Baró, El Carmel, La Teixonera, Horta, La Clota and La Font d'en Fargues, and also nearby: Gràcia, Nou Barris and Sant Andreu.
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.
