Bath-to-shower conversion in Nou Barris.
A more accessible shower in Nou Barris without a full renovation: we swap the bath for a slimline tray, waterproof the base properly and close up the wall.

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.
Bath-to-shower conversions in Nou Barris: what we usually find
In older flats in areas such as Porta, Vilapicina i la Torre Llobeta and El Turó de la Peira the bath is often heavy cast iron and the waste runs to a shared soil stack with little fall. We cut it up inside the bathroom to carry it down the stairs without damaging common areas, and check how low the tray can sit.
On conversions in areas such as La Prosperitat, Verdun and Les Roquetes 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: Horta-Guinardó, Sant Andreu and Montcada i Reixac.

Frequently asked questions
01Bath-to-shower conversion in Nou Barris: which areas do you cover?
We work in Nou Barris in areas such as Porta, Vilapicina i la Torre Llobeta, El Turó de la Peira, Can Peguera, La Prosperitat, Verdun, Les Roquetes and La Guineueta, and also nearby: Horta-Guinardó, Sant Andreu and Montcada i Reixac.
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.
