Bathrooms from the boom years.
Between 1945 and 1975, Dietikon grew from around 6,500 to more than 23,000 inhabitants, and according to the city, the building stock also increased massively. For a bathroom from those years, a complete renovation with us means stripping out down to the shell: what lies behind old tiles only shows after the strip-out, and every new pipe receives a pressure and leak test with a report. If the bathroom is to become larger and a non-load-bearing partition wall is to be moved, § 14 BVV provides for the notification procedure (Anzeigeverfahren) — without profiling poles (Aussteckung) or public notice, with a processing period of 30 days (§ 13 BVV). We build this period into the programme before the strip-out, not afterwards. Travel of about ten minutes is included in the fixed price.
How a complete renovation runs.
Six steps, always in this order. If one is skipped, it only shows years later — usually as damp.
- 01
Strip-out back to the shell
Old fixtures, tiles and substructure come out; rubble is removed as we go.
- 02
New water and waste pipes
Laid and checked with a pressure and leak test. The report goes to you.
- 03
Pre-wall installation
WC, cistern and niches built into the wall — the plumbing disappears and you gain storage space.
- 04
Bonded waterproofing
Applied before tiling and photographed before it is covered. Without this step, a level-access shower is not watertight.
- 05
Tiles and grout
Floor and walls, large-format or small, according to your choice of materials.
- 06
Installation and acceptance
Taps, mirror, lighting, cleaning — handover with an acceptance report.
What it costs.
For a complete bathroom renovation in Dietikon we expect CHF 8'500–19'000 for labour — Dismantling, new pipework, bonded waterproofing, wall and floor tiles, WC, washbasin, shower — large formats and bathtub at the upper end. Materials (tiles, fixtures, fittings) come on top, as you choose. Travel is included in the fixed price and is not a separate item.

ZurichBuilding permit.
In Dietikon, the city's building office (Bauamt, Bremgartnerstrasse 22, 8953 Dietikon) is responsible. Under § 1 of the cantonal Building Procedures Ordinance (Bauverfahrensverordnung, BVV), bathroom, laundry and toilet installations as well as water and electrical connections that are not visible from outside normally need no building permit (Baubewilligung) in the building zone — nor does removing interior partition walls between living rooms. Changes of use and structural changes beyond that, for example to the facade or load-bearing walls, do require a permit (§ 309 PBG). If an interior partition wall is moved or a new one is added, the notification procedure (Anzeigeverfahren) applies (§ 14 BVV). If in doubt, the city recommends contacting the building secretariat (Bausekretariat) — we clarify your case before work starts and confirm the outcome in writing. A bathroom that stays in the same place and needs no new pipe through the load-bearing structure is usually straightforward.

Frequently asked questions.
What we are asked most often before a bathroom renovation in Dietikon.
How much does a bathroom renovation in Dietikon cost?
For a complete bathroom renovation we expect CHF 8'500 to 19'000 for labour, excl. VAT. A bathroom with a shower in the existing layout tends towards the lower end; one with a bathtub, large-format tiles or relocated connections towards the upper end. Materials come on top, as you choose; travel is included.
May I make the bathroom in Dietikon larger?
If a non-load-bearing partition wall is moved or a new one is added for this, it goes through the notification procedure (Anzeigeverfahren, § 14 BVV), with a processing period of 30 days. If a load-bearing wall is affected, a building permit is needed (§ 309 PBG); whether a wall is load-bearing is clarified beforehand by a structural engineer — we coordinate this. If the bathroom stays in the same place, normally no permit is needed (§ 1 BVV).
Do all the pipes have to come out of an older bathroom?
Not necessarily. We check them during the survey and after the strip-out; anything that is renewed receives a pressure and leak test with a report. If something turns up behind the wall that is not in the quote, we tell you in writing before we carry on.
What if there is a leak before the renovation?
Our emergency plumbing service can be reached around the clock on +41 76 524 98 98 and is usually on site in the Limmat Valley within 60 to 120 minutes. Once the damage has been dealt with, we discuss with you whether a repair is enough or whether renovating the whole bathroom is worthwhile.
How long does a bathroom renovation take?
On the reference project (bathroom in green marble) it took three to four weeks from strip-out to acceptance. We give you the binding date after the survey on site; it then goes into the contract.
Can we use the bathroom during the work?
No. During a complete renovation the bathroom cannot be used from removal to installation. If the property has only one bathroom, we plan this with you in advance.
Who buys the tiles and fixtures?
As you prefer. We can source everything, or you supply the materials and we install them — either way, the labour is shown separately in the quote.
Do you also renovate several bathrooms in a series?
Yes. Same materials, same process, flat by flat — so the effort per bathroom stays predictable and the flats can be let again one after another.
