What we actually do in a bathroom renovation
The order of operations matters more than people realise. Get waterproofing wrong and you'll redo the whole bathroom in 4-6 years.
Demolition + plumbing audit (Day 1-3)
Strip existing tiles, fittings, sanitaryware to bare RCC. Inspect water lines, sewage lines, drain slope. Replace any pipes older than 12 years.
Plumbing rework + electrical (Day 4-6)
New CPVC water lines (Astral / Supreme). Re-route if vanity/shower position changes. Add safety MCB for water heater. 24-hour leak test.
Waterproofing (Day 7-9)
Crystalline waterproofing on slab (Dr Fixit Pidicrete URP or equivalent). Cove formation at wall-floor junction. 48-hour curing then water test (24 hours standing water).
Tiling + grouting (Day 10-12)
Floor first (1:5 slope to drain), then walls. Epoxy grout (not cement) for water resistance. Cure 48 hours before next stage.
Sanitaryware + fittings install (Day 13-14)
Wall-hung WC / floor-mount, basin, vanity, shower fittings, mixer. Silicone seal every joint. Test every outlet for pressure and drainage.
Final finishes + handover (Day 15)
Mirror + lighting install, glass partition, exhaust fan, paint touch-ups, deep clean. Warranty card on handover.

Why Aarna bathrooms last 12-15 years (vs industry 5-8)
Waterproofing-first
Crystalline chemistry + cove formation + 24-hour water test before tiling. Most Greater Noida contractors skip the test.
CPVC pipes always
We replace any GI / old PVC pipes during renovation — they fail within 8 years. CPVC lasts 25+ years.
Epoxy grout (not cement)
Cement grout absorbs water + grows mould. Epoxy grout is waterproof + stays white. Adds Rs 4,500/bathroom; worth it.
Brand-certified fittings
Jaquar/Hindware/Kohler genuine — original certificate handed at install. Fake fittings (which look identical) fail in 2-3 years.
Same plumber + tiler crew
The team that worked on your last neighbour’s bathroom works on yours. Continuity = consistency.
10-year warranty (industry: 1-3 yrs)
Waterproofing warranty 10 years, fittings 5 years (brand-backed), tile work 3 years (no cracks, no fall).

Client voices
Old bathroom was leaking into the flat below. Aarna stripped to slab, did crystalline waterproofing, water-tested for 24 hours before tiling. Two years later, zero issues.
Got 4 quotes. Aarna explained why epoxy grout matters and why my cheaper quote was using cement grout. Bathroom looks new 18 months later.
Premium tier for the villa. Kohler fittings, Italian porcelain. They handled the demolition mess, dust protection, even informed the RWA. Clean operation.

Frequently asked
How long does a bathroom renovation take in Greater Noida?
10-15 days for basic/standard tier, 15-22 days for premium with imported materials. Faster timelines (5-7 days) are warning signs — proper waterproofing alone needs 48-hour curing + 24-hour water test. Anyone promising under 7 days is skipping critical steps.
Can we use the other bathroom while one is renovated?
Yes — that's the standard workflow. We seal off the renovation bathroom with poly sheets, use dust extractors, and time water shut-offs to evenings. If you only have one bathroom (1BHK), we phase the work to leave the WC + basic shower usable through nights.
What's the difference between crystalline waterproofing and standard membrane?
Crystalline waterproofing chemicals (Dr Fixit Pidicrete, Sika 1+) penetrate concrete and form crystal structures inside that block water. Membrane (bitumen / liquid rubber) sits on top and can detach. Crystalline lasts 10-12 years; membrane 4-6 years. We use crystalline as standard; membrane only as a second layer for premium tier.
Should I replace the WC even if the existing one works?
If older than 10 years, yes — internal valves wear out, water consumption is 2-3x newer dual-flush models (saves Rs 1,800/year), porcelain glazing dulls. New WC: Rs 6,500 (Hindware) to Rs 22,000 (Kohler). Pays back in water + maintenance savings within 6-8 years.
Do you do bathroom renovation in occupied flats?
Yes — about 75% of our projects are in occupied flats. We dust-seal the bathroom doorway, use HEPA-filter extractors, limit demolition to 9am-5pm, and clean common areas daily. Light dust still happens in adjacent rooms; we recommend covering electronics + putting away soft furnishings.
Can you add an exhaust fan during renovation?
Yes — common upgrade. We core-cut through the external wall (or use existing exhaust slot), install Atomberg / Crompton fan with humidity sensor, route wiring through ceiling chase. Cost: Rs 4,500-7,500 depending on fan + cabling distance. Recommended for all Greater Noida bathrooms.
What if there's a leak from above (other flat) into ours?
Common issue in older Greater Noida buildings. We coordinate with the flat above (or RWA) to inspect their waterproofing. If theirs is the source, no point fixing ours — we advise the upstairs owner to renovate their bathroom first. Sometimes RWA forces resolution.
Is anti-skid floor tile important?
Yes — non-negotiable, especially for seniors or kids. Anti-skid tiles have a slip-rating of R10-R11 (vs R9 for standard polished). Costs Rs 25-60/sqft more. We default to anti-skid for all bathroom floors; you can choose between matte (most slip-resistant), textured, or mosaic finishes.
How do I prevent black mould between tiles?
Three things: (1) epoxy grout (not cement) — non-porous, no mould; (2) exhaust fan that runs 15 min after shower; (3) annual silicone re-seal at counter + sink + shower base joints. Following this, no mould issues for 8-10 years.
Can we add bathtub during renovation?
Only if structural capacity permits (3,500 kg filled tub on small slab area is a concern in older buildings) and you have at least 70 sqft floor area. Standard tubs need Rs 35-65k extra (Kohler / Roca); jacuzzi tubs Rs 1.5-3 lakh. Honest opinion: most Greater Noida owners stop using bathtubs after 6 months — shower is faster. Pick deliberately.
What's the difference between vanity unit and pedestal basin?
Pedestal basin: floor-standing, traditional, no storage. Vanity unit: cabinet under the basin for storage (towels, toiletries). Vanity costs Rs 15-45k more but adds usable storage. In small bathrooms (under 35 sqft), we recommend wall-hung floating vanity to keep floor visible (feels bigger).
What payment milestones do you use for bathroom renovation?
5-stage: 20% on signing, 25% after demolition + plumbing, 25% after waterproofing + tile complete, 20% after sanitaryware install, 10% on handover. Each milestone with photo deliverables and a sign-off checklist.

Societies also specify permitted work hours (usually 9am-6pm on weekdays). We help you prepare the NOC application and coordinate with society management.
