Waterproofing and drainage
A waterproof membrane under the tiles, a fall towards the floor gully, and connections tested before anything is closed up: that is what stops a badly finished shower from staining the ceiling of the flat below.

IN JETTE
RENOVATION
A shower that leaks, tiles lifting at the edge, a windowless room where mould keeps coming back: in Jette we take on the whole job — waterproofing, plumbing, electrics by safety zone, tiling, ventilation — with a fixed quote in writing before the first wall comes down. Plumber, electrician and tiler are on our own payroll, not subcontracted out.

Refine with 3 photosIndicative Belgian market ranges for 2026 — this is not our price list. Your exact price is confirmed in writing after the free site visit, and it doesn't change after that. The 6% rate applies to homes occupied for more than 10 years, used mainly as a private residence, with materials invoiced by the contractor.
02 · Scope
From waterproofing
From waterproofing
to the last tile
One point of contact, one schedule, one invoice. We do not let waterproofing, tiling and electrics be handled by three crews that never talk to each other.
Walk-in shower, with or without a tray
A curbless walk-in shower needs a fall and a drain that fit within the depth of the floor. We check the existing screed at the survey, and tell you plainly if the slab means a small upstand rather than a perfectly flat floor.
Ventilation
A bathroom without mechanical extraction stays damp long after the shower is off, and mould returns on new tiling as readily as on old. We fit an extractor sized to the room, ducted to an existing outlet or a new one built for the job.
Electrics by safety zone
Sockets, lighting and electric heating follow the safety zones around the shower and the bath, set out in Belgium’s AREI/RGIE electrical code — not a standard socket fitted within splash range because it was easier.
Soil stack and existing drainage
Moving the soil stack changes where the shower or toilet can sit, but stays impossible when it serves several flats through a shared duct or runs through a load-bearing slab. We check this before drawing a layout that cannot actually be built.
Sanitaryware, furniture and finishes
Shower, bath, toilet, vanity unit and taps fitted and connected, finishing joints included. Cleaning the site is part of handover, not a line added on afterwards.

Survey and diagnosis
A site manager visits your home in Jette, checks for damp, the thickness of the screed, and where the existing drain sits — that is what tells us whether a curbless walk-in shower is possible without breaking into the slab.

What will never
appear on your invoice
The first complaint levelled at contractors is the line item nobody saw coming. Here is what we rule out.
- ✕An extra decided without youAny work outside the quote — a drain that needs redoing, a damp wall found behind the old tiles — is costed and approved in writing before it is carried out.
- ✕A surprise call-out chargeIt is in the quote or it does not exist: travel is included in the price, whatever your address.
- ✕A quote you pay forThe survey and the quote are free, whether you sign or not.
- ✕21 % VAT by defaultIf your home is over 10 years old, we apply the reduced 6 % rate and prepare the certificate for it.
- ✕A bathroom left half finishedThe schedule is part of the quote, day by day. If this is your only bathroom, you know before the first wall comes down exactly how many days you will be without a shower, not partway through the job.

07.1 · Co-ownership
Managing agent and general meeting, not one without the other
Most of Brussels' housing stock is co-owned: the managing agent (syndic) carries out decisions, but the general meeting makes them. Routine maintenance is voted by simple majority. Any change to the façade or shared areas needs a two-thirds majority; work touching the structure or ownership rights needs four-fifths. We prepare the technical file — quote, specification, sometimes a stability note — in the form your managing agent can put to a vote.
07.2 · Planning permits
Permit, listed buildings and what happens if it's refused
The rule is simple: a planning permit (permis d'urbanisme) is required, with a limited list of exceptions — interior work that doesn't affect stability, the layout of the housing units, or its designated use, like-for-like window replacement, an extension under 100 m² removed without rebuilding, solar panels not visible from the street. A listed building, or one on the heritage inventory — common in Brussels' older housing stock — is handled by the regional planning delegate instead of the municipality, with a 75-day decision period, or 160 days if a public inquiry is required. If refused, the applicant has 30 days to appeal to the regional government, then 60 days to the Council of State.
07.3 · EPB certificate
EPB certificate, EPB adviser and the permit file
An EPB energy certificate is mandatory whenever a home is sold or let, and stays valid for ten years. For new-build, work treated as new-build, or a heavy renovation, a certified EPB adviser is mandatory: they prepare the EPB proposal, which forms part of the planning permit file. With an architect, the architect handles EPB follow-up directly; without one, Homegrade or your municipality's planning department can help.
07.4 · Grants
RENOLUTION grants: where things actually stand
As of 24.07.2026, no RENOLUTION grant application is being accepted for a final invoice dated 2025 or 2026, and the Region has not published any decision on reopening the scheme — check be.brussels before any quote. The ECORENO loan from the Housing Fund remains a concrete alternative in the meantime, at 2.5% to 3.5% interest, for insulation, ventilation, heating, solar panels or a heat pump. A renovation obligation is due to start on 1 July 2028 for all Brussels owners — none of it applies today, and we'll flag it when it does.
08 · Questions
Your questions
Your questions
before you sign
What comes up at almost every first visit.
What budget should I plan for a full bathroom in Jette?
The fixed price depends on the finish level chosen — from essential to premium — and shows in the calculator above without leaving your details. After the survey, you get a fixed quote item by item, which does not change again without your written approval.
What happens if a shower's waterproofing is done badly?
Water migrates under the tiles, into the screed, and eventually into the flat below if the bathroom is upstairs. We fit a waterproof membrane under the tiles, tested before laying, with a fall towards the floor gully: that check happens before the tiling closes everything up.
Does a bathroom without a window need mechanical ventilation?
Yes, in almost every case. Without extraction, moisture lingers after every shower and mould returns on new tiling as readily as on old. We fit an extractor sized to the room, ducted to an existing outlet or a new one built for the job.
How long are we without a bathroom during the work?
For a full renovation, plan on two to three weeks once the site starts. If this is your only bathroom, we factor that into the schedule and tell you plainly at the survey, not after you have signed.
