Bathroom Renovation in Altea — Old-Town Houses & Hillside Villas
We renovate bathrooms in Altea for two very different types of home: stone houses in the old town, where thick walls, split levels and pedestrian streets mean material goes up by hand, and larger hillside villas in Altea la Vella and Sierra de Altea. Fixed price including that access work, in-house trades, an English-speaking project manager and a written 2-year guarantee.

Old-town bathrooms in Altea are rarely a tidy rectangle. Expect thick stone walls, a step between rooms, and a shower squeezed under a staircase. Before we design anything we work out where pipes and cables can run without cutting into exposed stone, and which beams, arches or original floor tiles are worth keeping. Owners here bought the house for its character, and the bathroom should not be the part that erases it.
Access shapes the programme as much as the design does. No lorry reaches most doors in the centre: streets are steep, whitewashed and pedestrian, so porcelain, sanitaryware and mortar are staged nearby and carried up by adapted transport or by hand, with rubble bagged and taken down the same way. We price that in from the survey, which matters if you are approving a quote by email from the UK, Ireland or the Netherlands.
Villas on the hillside are a different brief. In Altea la Vella, Sierra de Altea and the view urbanisations the bathrooms are bigger, and owners usually want a level-access shower, twin basins and finishes that sit comfortably with a bay and Peñón outlook. Hard coastal water is the practical constraint: we specify taps, shower heads and screen glass that can be wiped clean rather than replaced after two summers.
Bathroom Renovation in Altea: what's included
Bathrooms in stone houses
We adapt the layout to thick walls and split levels in the old town, planning chases and fixings around original stone, beams and floors.
Pedestrian-street access planning
We organise staging, carrying material up Altea's steep streets and bagging rubble down, all costed inside the fixed price.
Level-access shower conversions
Bath removed, waste and falls adapted, and a slimline tray or formed shower fitted with a screen measured after tiling.
Wet-area tanking
Two-coat liquid membrane with taped junctions, essential in older village houses where there is another dwelling below.
Ventilation through thick walls
We find a workable duct route where the wall is stone or there is no shaft, so moisture leaves the room instead of sitting in it.
Hard-water taps and glass
Ceramic-cartridge mixers, silicone-nozzle shower heads and anti-limescale toughened glass chosen for the water on this coast.

Bathroom Renovation: frequently asked questions in Altea
Do I need permission from Altea town hall for a bathroom renovation?
A bathroom refit is normally handled as a declaración responsable for minor works with Altea town hall. If the property sits within the protected old-town setting and the job touches the façade, windows or anything visible from the street, extra conditions can apply. We prepare the paperwork and check your specific case before work starts.
Can you manage the whole bathroom while I am back home abroad?
Yes. We agree layout, tiles, sanitaryware and taps by email and video call, then send photo updates at each stage: strip-out, tanking, pipework, tiling and final fit. Your English-speaking project manager holds the keys, coordinates access with neighbours or your key-holder, and hands over remotely with the guarantee in writing.
How do you get materials into a house on Altea's pedestrian streets?
We stage deliveries at the nearest accessible point and move material up in manageable loads, by adapted transport or by hand, taking rubble down in bags to a licensed disposal site the same day. We keep to hours that suit the neighbours. This is routine in central Altea and is priced in from the start.
Can a modern shower be fitted without spoiling the character of an old stone house?
Usually, yes. We keep sound arches, beams and original floors and concentrate the new work in the wet zone: plumbing, tanking, tray and fittings. Where a wall is exposed stone we avoid cutting into it and route services through stud walls or accessible boxing, so the result reads as modern comfort inside a period house.
What is typical for a villa bathroom in Sierra de Altea or Altea la Vella?
Most requests combine a level-access shower with a linear drain, twin basins on a wall-hung unit and large-format porcelain or sealed microcement to match the rest of the house. Electric underfloor heating and a heated towel rail are common additions. Taps and screen glass are specified for limescale, given the water here.
