A successful bathroom renovation is about more than choosing tiles. It is how the shower drains, where the towels go, how the mirror is lit and whether the equipment behind the ceiling can still be reached.
Renovationhero is a boutique design and refurbishment company in Dubai. Our completed apartment projects in DIFC, Dubai Marina and Downtown Dubai show how we combine distinctive interiors with practical planning—from guest bathrooms to generous, hotel-inspired showers.
Choose the upgrades your bathroom needs, or bring them together in a complete renovation. The final scope is tailored to the property, existing services and your priorities.
Replace an underused bathtub with a shower designed around the way you move. We plan the shower footprint, entry, drainage, splash protection and storage together. Whether a walk-in layout is possible depends on the existing floor levels and drainage; we assess these before agreeing the design.
Review an ageing water heater as part of the renovation, rather than closing the ceiling around equipment that may soon need attention. Replacement planning considers capacity, existing connections and access for future servicing.
Where existing pipework is unsuitable for reuse, we can replace the affected bathroom water supply and drainage runs within the agreed scope. We review what can remain, what needs changing and how new fixture positions connect to the existing building services.
Wall-mounted spouts and concealed shower controls create a clean, considered finish. Their installation needs to be planned before waterproofing and tiling, with the correct wall depth, fixture positions and maintenance access taken into account.
Update toilets, basins, vanities, mirrors and accessories as a coordinated set. We consider everyday comfort, storage, cleaning and available space. A switch to a wall-hung toilet is assessed against the space and plumbing available for the concealed frame and cistern.
A bathroom renovation starts beneath the finishes. The scope can include removing existing tiles, preparing the substrate, reinstating waterproofing and installing new wall and floor tiles. Junctions, penetrations and drainage details are planned together, with testing coordinated where required by building management.
Use colour, texture and tile proportions to give the wet area its own character. We plan tile setting-out, grout lines and any recessed storage as part of the overall layout, so the finished bathroom feels intentional rather than assembled from separate decisions.
Combine useful light at the mirror with ceiling lighting and softer indirect accents. Illuminated mirrors, concealed LED details and carefully positioned spotlights can support both daily routines and a more relaxed evening atmosphere. Fittings are selected for their intended location.
Review the existing extraction arrangement and, where suitable, add an electric exhaust fan to help remove moisture after bathing. Fan choice and installation depend on the existing duct route and building system. Effective ventilation helps manage humidity; it is planned alongside the rest of the bathroom.
Fit shower glazing around the finished layout, whether a fixed screen or an enclosed shower with a door. We consider splash control, door clearance, ease of cleaning and access to fittings, then coordinate final measurements with the completed surfaces.
A bathroom should look considered and work properly. Our approach brings the technical details into the design from the beginning, with clear decisions before installation and care right through to the ceiling.
Nothing is left to chance. We produce a detailed tile layout plan for every bathroom, taking the room’s structure, fixtures and overall design into account. Tile proportions, grout lines, corners and feature areas are considered together, so the finished room feels balanced.
The plan is sent to you for approval before tiling starts. You can see how the design comes together while there is still time to refine the details.
A neatly positioned drain is only part of the job. The tiled floor needs a properly formed fall to direct water towards it, with the drainage arrangement considered alongside the shower’s water flow.
Our tilers plan the slopes and tile cuts as part of the installation. The aim is a shower floor that clears water effectively, rather than leaving you with a good-looking drain surrounded by standing water.
Many Dubai apartment bathrooms have no window, making effective extraction an important part of everyday comfort and moisture management. We review ventilation as part of the renovation, rather than treating it as an afterthought.
Where the existing ductwork and building arrangements allow, we include electric exhaust fans as part of our standard bathroom renovation approach. They help remove humid air after bathing and reduce lingering moisture around finishes and fittings.
We treat the ceiling as the bathroom’s fifth surface. Old suspended tile ceilings can be replaced with a fresh, closed gypsum ceiling, with concealed access panels positioned where needed for AC and water heater servicing.
The lighting layout is designed to complement the new bathroom, from practical spotlights to softer accents. The result feels complete, while keeping essential equipment accessible.
Explore the bathrooms within four of our Dubai apartment renovations. Each responds to a different space, brief and way of living.
When a separate bathtub and shower would not fit comfortably, we designed a soaking bath with a step and an extended shower enclosure. Practical storage and room to move helped preserve both experiences.
The Parkview Corner Residence
A double shower with multiple shower heads, including a relaxing mist shower, brings a generous bathing experience to a studio apartment. Textured tiles, glazing and lighting give the bathroom a character of its own.
The Grand Studio
A sophisticated microcement finish connects the bathrooms with the home’s natural palette. Framed shower glazing, a fluted vanity and illuminated mirror bring definition and warmth to the compact space.
The Sunset Terrace Townhouse
Freestanding bathtubs, cleverly shaped walk-in showers and built-in niche shelves make the most of the available space. Metro tile feature walls define the wet areas while keeping the design connected to the apartment.
The Arc ResidenceThe most useful starting point is a clear scope. Before work begins, we bring the layout, finishes and technical requirements into one plan.
Tell us what you have in mindKeeping fixtures in their existing positions may reduce alterations. Moving a shower, changing a toilet type or adding concealed controls can introduce further plumbing, wall and floor work.
Tile size and pattern, tapware, sanitary ware, vanity design and glass configuration all influence the budget. We help prioritise the details that matter most to you and clarify which items are included in the quotation.
Access, working hours, management requirements and product lead times affect the sequence. We plan the works around the agreed scope, including preparation, installation and the finishing details.
Share photographs, your location and what you would like to change. We discuss your priorities and assess the existing space.
Develop the layout, finishes, fixtures and lighting alongside the technical scope, budget and programme.
Coordinate preparation, services, waterproofing, finishes and installation through your dedicated point of contact.
Review the completed work and finishing details together, with attention to how the room looks and functions.
The cost depends on the existing condition, bathroom size, layout changes and your selected finishes. Waterproofing, pipework, concealed fittings, shower glass, ceiling works and ventilation can all affect the scope. Taps, toilets, vanities and accessories also vary considerably in price. We review your bathroom and preferences before preparing a quotation with the inclusions and exclusions clearly set out.
Often, yes. We first assess the existing drain, floor build-up, available space and shower entry. A completely flush threshold is not suitable for every apartment. The design should balance comfortable access, drainage and splash control rather than assume the same solution works in every bathroom.
That may be possible with a considered combined layout. At the Parkview Corner Residence in DIFC, we designed a soaking bath with a step and an extended shower enclosure. The right solution depends on your room dimensions and existing services.
That depends on their condition, the proposed scope and the building’s requirements. Some buildings do not allow existing tiles to be removed. In these cases, preparing the existing surface and tiling over the old tiles may be the only permitted option—and can also be more economical. We assess the existing surface and preparation needed before recommending a suitable finishing system.
Realistically, a single, full bathroom renovation typically takes two to four weeks, depending on the agreed scope and site conditions. We confirm a programme after assessing building access and material availability. Layout changes, waterproofing, testing and curing periods, concealed fittings and made-to-measure glass all affect the sequence.
If existing tiles are removed and new waterproofing is applied, some buildings require a pond test. This may require access to the apartment below, so the cooperation and availability of its occupant can influence the timeline.
A new shower glass partition typically has a delivery time of 10–14 working days after the order is placed. Obtaining a work permit from your management company can also take up to two weeks. We factor these lead times into planning; permits and advance procurement may need to be arranged before on-site renovation begins.
Requirements differ between buildings and proposed works. We review the applicable management requirements, permitted working hours and any submissions or inspections needed before work begins. Changes to drainage, services or the layout should be discussed early.
Yes. Our completed projects include compact bathrooms in DIFC, Dubai Marina and Downtown Dubai. We consider shower shape, storage, vanity depth, mirror placement, lighting and door clearances together to make the room more comfortable to use.
These can be included in the agreed renovation scope. Opening up the bathroom is an opportunity to review the heater, pipework, ceiling access and extraction. We assess the existing systems before confirming suitable replacements or upgrades.
