CULA is based in Dilbeek and renovates bathrooms there all year round. In the 1960s to 1980s houses of Dilbeek, Itterbeek, Groot-Bijgaarden or Schepdaal, the original bathroom almost always hides the same surprises: ageing pipes, no ventilation, electrics to upgrade.
Many semi-detached and detached houses in the municipality have a 6 to 9 m² upstairs bathroom with a bath. Behind the tiles you often find galvanised steel pipes (sometimes lead), cast-iron drains and a single ventilation point. A proper renovation replaces the pipes while the walls are open: it is the cheapest moment.
For a home older than 10 years, 6% VAT included:
Dilbeek is in the Flemish Region. Redoing a bathroom inside, without touching the structure or the facade, generally needs no permit; a new window or a modified load-bearing wall does. There is no grant for the bathroom itself, and since March 2026 the Mijn VerbouwPremie for energy works is restricted to lower incomes. If you bought a home with an EPC label of E or F, label D must be reached within 6 years: we plan that together with the rest.
Allow 12 to 18 working days for a complete renovation, plus 2 to 4 weeks' delivery for tiles and fixtures, which we order as soon as you sign. If it is the only bathroom in the house, we agree a temporary shower solution with you.
In 1960s to 1980s houses it is almost always advisable: the original pipes are at the end of their life and replacing them costs far less when the walls are already open.
Generally €12,000 to €16,000 including 6% VAT, depending on the range of fixtures and tiles. The details are in our guide "Renovating your bathroom in Dilbeek".
Yes, it is one of our most frequent requests. A walk-in shower needs a drain with the right slope and careful waterproofing; expect roughly €4,500 to €7,000 including 6% VAT depending on the range.
