Bathroom Renovation Dubai
Bathroom Renovation Dubai
Cracked tiles, yellowed grout, leaking shower screens? We transform bathrooms into your daily retreat — with waterproofing that actually works. From AED 25,000.
Why Bathrooms Leak in Dubai
Bathroom leaks are the single most common renovation failure in Dubai. The reason is simple: most contractors treat waterproofing as an afterthought. They apply a thin coat of liquid membrane, skip the corners and joints, tile over it the same day, and move on. Three months later, water seeps through to the room below.
Dubai's extreme humidity makes the problem worse. Moisture finds every gap in poorly applied waterproofing. The result is damage to ceilings, walls, electrical systems and — in severe cases — structural elements. A bathroom renovation done cheaply today becomes an expensive repair tomorrow.
- Poor waterproofing — single coat, no reinforcement at corners
- Rushed work — tiling over uncured membrane
- Cheap materials — thin tiles crack, poor grout deteriorates
- No flood test before tiling — leaks discovered too late
Bathrooms Built to Last
Waterproofing Warranty
Multi-layer waterproofing system with liquid membrane, reinforcing fabric at all corners and joints, and a 48-hour flood test before any tiling begins. We guarantee zero leaks.
Frameless Glass
Tempered safety glass shower enclosures, precision-fitted by our specialist glazing team. Frameless design for a clean, modern aesthetic with easy maintenance.
Premium Fixtures
We supply and install fixtures from Grohe, Hansgrohe, Duravit, Villeroy & Boch and Dornbracht. Every tap, shower system and accessory is selected for quality and longevity.
Heated Floors
Electric underfloor heating installed beneath your tiles for year-round comfort. Particularly popular with marble and porcelain floors that can feel cold underfoot.
In-House Tiling
Our tiling specialists handle everything from large-format marble slabs to intricate mosaic work. Book-matched marble, mitred edge joins and laser-straight grout lines are standard.
Anti-Leak Systems
Beyond waterproofing, we install proper floor falls, linear drainage channels, and silicone expansion joints. Every detail is designed to manage water flow and prevent moisture migration.

Small Bathroom Renovation Dubai
Many Dubai villas have compact guest bathrooms and en-suites that need smart design to feel spacious. Small bathroom renovation requires careful planning to maximise every centimetre without sacrificing functionality or style.
Our approach to small bathroom renovation:
- Wall-hung vanities and toilets — free up floor space and make the room feel larger
- Large-format tiles — fewer grout lines create a seamless, spacious appearance
- Recessed shelving (niches) — built into walls for storage without reducing floor area
- Frameless glass screens — eliminate visual barriers that make small spaces feel cramped
- Mirror walls — strategically placed mirrors double the perceived space
Small bathroom renovations start from AED 25,000 and are typically completed in 3-4 weeks.
Luxury Bathroom Renovation Dubai
For villas in Palm Jumeirah, Emirates Hills, and Al Barari, bathrooms are personal sanctuaries that rival five-star hotel suites. A luxury bathroom renovation transforms a functional space into a daily retreat with premium materials, bespoke features, and spa-inspired design.
What defines a luxury bathroom in Dubai:
- Floor-to-ceiling marble slabs: Calacatta, Statuario, or Emperador — book-matched for veining continuity across walls.
- Freestanding bathtub: Sculptural centrepiece from brands like Victoria + Albert or Boffi.
- Rain shower system: Ceiling-mounted rainfall head with body jets and thermostatic controls.
- Heated towel rails and underfloor heating: Warm surfaces year-round, particularly appreciated during Dubai's cooler months.
- Smart toilet: Integrated bidet, heated seat, automatic lid, and self-cleaning functions.
- Custom lighting design: Layered lighting with ambient, task, and accent fixtures controlled via dimmer or smart home integration.
Luxury bathroom renovations cost AED 65,000-80,000+ per bathroom and take 4-6 weeks to complete.
