Replacing a bathtub with a shower tray is the most popular bathroom renovation in Mallorca: it improves accessibility, frees up space, and can be completed in just a few days with minimal disruption. At Tecnic Project, as a company of renovations in Mallorca, we work with labor at a fixed price of €1,375 + VAT and with a delivery date guaranteed in writing. More than three generations have been doing this type of renovation in Palma — we know every model of antique bathtub and every downpipe on the island's floors.
Complete and comprehensive service. We arrive with everything necessary, remove the old bathtub, and leave the bathroom ready to use with a new, fully installed and functioning shower.
The usual total timeframe is 3 to 5 business days. If your bathtub is located on a complex floor or has an old drainpipe that needs replacing, it can take up to 7 days—always with a firm deadline before starting.

At Tecnic Project, we offer a fixed labor price of €1,375 + VAT. This includes all labor costs: bathtub removal, demolition, plumbing adaptation, tiling, installation of the shower tray and screen, faucets, sealing, and cleaning. Materials (shower tray, screen, faucets) are a separate item and are also detailed in the fixed price quote.
If the bathroom renovation in Mallorca is for a person over 65 or with certified reduced mobility, there are several avenues of assistance available. The work may qualify for the reduced VAT rate under code 10%, as it is considered a primary residence renovation when the work meets the requirements of the corresponding article of the VAT Law. Furthermore, there are regional subsidies from the Balearic Government and national housing adaptation programs that can cover part of the cost, especially for accessible bathrooms.
We'll help you check if your case qualifies for any of these assistance programs during the technical visit. If you qualify, we'll take advantage of it.
