Learn how to choose a reliable tiler or company for a complete bathroom renovation in Kraków — and avoid the mistakes that cost the most.
Why is choosing the contractor so important?
A bathroom is exposed to constant water and high humidity. Mistakes in waterproofing, laying large-format tiles or fitting concealed installations often only appear after several months or years. Repairing such a fault usually costs many times more than the original price difference between an average and a reliable crew.
In Kraków, experience with demanding materials also matters — from standard porcelain to large formats and sintered stone. Our projects use Italian, Spanish and Polish tiles across mid-range and premium budgets, as well as fittings from respected European brands.
The most common mistakes when choosing a bathroom contractor
1. Choosing solely on the lowest price. 2. Not checking completed projects, especially with large-format tiles. 3. Signing a contract without a precise scope of work. 4. Hiring a general crew without bathroom specialisation. 5. Failing to verify public-liability insurance and warranty terms.
1. Experience and specialisation
Check how long the company has been operating and whether it genuinely delivers premium bathrooms rather than only standard finishes. Ask specifically about large-format tiles and sintered stone.
We work with a wide range of materials. Our ceramic and porcelain projects include Italian brands such as Atlas Concorde, Marazzi, Ceramica Sant’Agostino, Fioranese, Lea Ceramiche, Fondovalle, Caesar, Ragno, Imola, ABK, Mirage and Ceramiche Refin. From Spain, we often use Porcelanosa, Pamesa, Keraben, Aparici, Peronda, Grespania and Rocersa. Among Polish brands, we regularly work with Tubądzin, Cerrad, Opoczno and Paradyż, alongside other reliable mid-range and premium manufacturers. We also increasingly deliver bathrooms in sintered stone, including Neolith, Laminam and Dekton.
For fittings and sanitaryware, we install products from Hansgrohe, Grohe, Omnires, Kohlman, Excellent, Deante, Kludi, Roca, Ideal Standard, Geberit, Viega, Duravit, Villeroy & Boch, Laufen, Catalano and Kermi, among others.
This experience lets us match solutions both to a solid mid-range budget and to premium projects. We work throughout Kraków, across every district, and also undertake projects in detached homes on the city’s outskirts.

2. Portfolio of completed projects
A good contractor is happy to show photographs of completed work. Clients increasingly expect transparency and prefer real projects over stock images. Ask to see a premium bathroom project, a large-format tile detail and a bathroom completed in a detached house.
3. Qualifications and a complete scope of work
For tiling work, check whether the person responsible holds a master tiler’s diploma. This is not the same as a course-completion certificate from a tile supplier.
It is most convenient and safest when one company is responsible for plumbing, electrical work, waterproofing, tiling and fitting installation. This avoids responsibility being passed between separate crews.
4. Why public-liability insurance matters to the client
We hold current public-liability insurance. In practice, this can protect the client against damage caused by flooding their flat or a neighbour’s property, damage to existing finishes during the work, the cost of rectifying workmanship faults discovered after handover, and third-party claims arising from the works.
Without the contractor’s insurance, the client may be left alone with a serious problem. Always ask to see the policy and understand its scope.
5. Contract, warranty, reviews and references
A reliable company always works under a written contract with a clear scope, timetable and warranty terms.

Questions to ask before signing a contract
Do you have experience with large-format tiles and sintered stone? Which Italian, Spanish and Polish tile brands do you work with most often? What fittings and sanitaryware do you install? Which waterproofing system do you use? Do you work under a contract and issue an invoice? Do you hold current public-liability insurance, and what does it cover? What warranty do you provide? Who is responsible for the full project? Can I see projects completed in the last 12 months?
Red flags — when it is better to walk away
Avoid a contractor who does not want a detailed written contract, will not show completed projects, quotes a price far below the market without a logical explanation, has no liability insurance, or promises to do everything both cheapest and fastest.
Summary
Choosing a bathroom contractor in Kraków should not rest on price alone. Experience, specialisation in demanding materials, transparency, public-liability insurance and accountability for the entire process are far more important.
