Quote: bath-to-shower replacement
E.g.: bathtub cut-out, step-free access, 1-2 day job
Send photographs, bath dimensions, panel access, taps and known drain position. Identify surfaces to retain and the reason for replacement: daily use, maintenance or adaptation. State whether a bath should remain elsewhere in the home.
Inspect what the bath conceals
Removal reveals floor, lower walls and connections. Record assumptions about their condition and missing finishes. Clarify what can remain after inspection and what must change for the new system.
Confirm drainage and threshold
An old bath outlet position does not prove suitability for the proposed shower. Check location, capacity, height and trap access. Request a finished-level drawing; a low tray may still need a step in that configuration.
Define wall repairs
Compare local and wider replacement according to condition and compatibility. Ask how the new tray connects to waterproofing. Buildwise highlights support, watertight connection and joint care. A decorative panel alone does not describe these junctions.
Prepare access and assistance
Assess entry, exit, controls, drying and any helper space. For long-term care insurance, apply through CNS and obtain AEC approval before work. Bath replacement does not automatically qualify for funding.
Organise return to use
Request stages, supplier times and product-specific waiting periods. Confirm when the shower can be used and temporary arrangements. Check function and servicing access with the company at handover.

Frequently asked questions
Can the drain stay?
Only after checking condition, position and capacity for the planned equipment.
Must all tiles change?
Not always. Exposed surfaces and connection to the waterproofing system determine scope.
Is replacement always step-free?
No. Confirm finished level before ordering.
Will long-term care insurance reimburse after work?
Guichet.lu requires assessment and AEC approval beforehand; retrospective coverage is not provided.
