Bathroom renovation in Helsinki

Renew Construct renovates bathrooms and wet rooms in Helsinki, from demolition to waterproofing, tiling and finishing. We agree the scope around your existing room and the changes you want to make.

We work with owners of apartments, terraced houses and detached homes, as well as housing companies. You can renovate your bathroom on its own or as part of a larger apartment renovation.

Microcement finishes and a double vanity

In the Herttoniemi project, warm sand-toned finishes are paired with timber-toned cabinetry. The completed room's photos show the double vanity and carefully considered lighting.

A clearer bathroom layout

A partition between the bathtub and toilet, together with a new shower head, made the room more practical. This is an example of a smaller bathroom update.

Scope of work

What can a bathroom renovation include?

Renewing an entire wet room and replacing individual fixtures involve different kinds of work. We review the existing room and set out exactly what your renovation includes in the quotation.

01 /

Demolition and protection

We protect the area around the work site and remove the agreed old finishes and fixtures. Access and the removal of demolition waste are planned for the property.

02 /

Preparation work

We review the room's condition after demolition. The surfaces and floor falls are prepared for the new wet room.

03 /

Waterproofing

Waterproofing is part of renewing a wet room before tiling. Junctions and installation are planned to suit the property's structures.

04 /

Tiling

Walls and floors are tiled with the agreed materials. Tile sizes, laying patterns and the area to be tiled are confirmed during planning.

05 /

Fixtures and fittings

Vanity units, mirrors, shower fittings and other agreed items are installed according to the plan. The scope of work involving building services is agreed separately.

06 /

Finishing

Grouting, silicone seals and visible details are finished carefully. We review the completed bathroom with you before handover.

When to renovate

When your bathroom no longer works for everyday life

Worn finishes, dated fixtures or an awkward layout can be reasons to renovate. In a small bathroom, planning the storage and shower area can make everyday use easier.

If you suspect a moisture or structural problem, tell us what you have noticed when you first get in touch. Any necessary investigations and repairs should be defined before new finishes are planned.

A wider apartment renovation is also a natural time to assess your bathroom's condition and coordinate work in different rooms within the same schedule.

Bathroom renovation costs

What affects the cost of a bathroom renovation in Helsinki?

Bathrooms of the same size can require different amounts of work. Beyond the finishes, costs depend on what needs removing, the condition of the structures and whether fixtures or water points will be moved.

Tell us the size of the room, its current condition and what you would like to change. Photos help with an initial assessment, and a detailed quotation is based on the agreed scope of work.

Factors that affect the price

  • Bathroom size and the area to be tiled
  • Finishes, fixtures and structures to be removed
  • Structural condition and preparation work needed
  • Tiles, other finishes and laying patterns
  • Fixtures, shower and other fittings
  • Any plumbing or electrical alterations
  • Including a sauna or other rooms in the renovation

Practical arrangements

A housing-company property or a detached home?

Apartments and terraced houses

Before work starts, check the housing company's notification, supervision and documentation procedures with the housing company or property manager. We also agree practical arrangements: working hours, access routes, protection of shared areas and moving materials.

Detached homes

In a detached home, planning starts with the building's structures and services, and how you will use the rooms during the renovation. If the bathroom adjoins a sauna or utility room, it makes sense to review the connections between these spaces at the same time.

Helsinki service area

Bathroom renovations across Helsinki

Contact Renew Construct

We serve apartments in the city centre and Töölö, homes in Lauttasaari and Munkkiniemi, and properties from Pasila to Herttoniemi and Vuosaari. The Herttoniemi microcement bathroom is one of the local projects featured on our website.

The neighbourhood alone does not define a renovation. In a city-centre apartment, material deliveries and access to the property are worth discussing early; in a detached home, the bathroom's connection to other wet rooms may guide the planning. Tell us about the property type and practical arrangements in your quote request.

As well as Helsinki, we carry out bathroom renovations in Vantaa and Espoo. For an overview of the work, visit our bathroom renovation service page.

Household tax credit

Check whether your renovation qualifies

The labour portion of a home bathroom renovation may qualify for Finland's household tax credit under the applicable conditions. Eligibility depends on your circumstances and the work you commission.

Check the current conditions and guidance from the Finnish Tax Administration before applying for the credit.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about bathroom renovation in Helsinki

How long does a bathroom renovation take?

The schedule is assessed based on the scope, the existing structural condition, drying times and material availability. Any alterations to building services and inspections agreed for the property also affect timing. You will receive an estimate for your property once the scope has been confirmed.

What does a bathroom renovation include?

The agreed work can include protection, demolition, preparation, waterproofing, tiling, installation of fixtures and shower fittings, and finishing. Any sauna work or electrical and plumbing alterations are defined for the property. The quotation sets out the scope.

How much does a bathroom renovation in Helsinki cost?

The price depends on the room's size, demolition, structural condition, preparation work, the area to be tiled, materials and fixtures. Changes to the layout or building services can increase the work required. Send us the property details and, if you wish, photos so we can start assessing the project.

Can the bathroom layout be changed?

We assess what changes are possible at the property. For example, the positions of drains, water points and other structures affect what can be done. In a housing-company property, we also check the company's procedures before agreeing the solution and scope of work.

Do you renovate bathrooms in housing-company properties in Helsinki?

Yes. We renovate bathrooms in apartments and terraced houses in Helsinki, and undertake agreed projects for housing companies. Tell us whether the request concerns your own home or work commissioned by the housing company. Procedures, access and the scope are discussed before work begins.

Can the sauna be renovated at the same time?

Yes, renovation of an adjoining sauna can be included in the agreed project. Tell us about the sauna's current condition and what you would like to change so that work in both rooms can be considered during planning.
