How bathroom renovation works proceed in Switzerland

During the first visit, the tradesperson assesses the condition of the surfaces, measures the areas to be treated and identifies any constraints — moisture, cracks, substrate type. A detailed written quote is delivered within 48 hours, specifying materials, number of coats and execution timeline. For a standard 80 m² flat with walls in good condition, work typically takes 3 to 5 working days with a two-person team. During the works, furniture is protected with dust sheets and passageways are kept secure. At completion, the tradesperson carries out a joint inspection with the client to verify the quality of the finish and resolve any outstanding items before signing the acceptance record.

Regulations and standards in Switzerland

In Switzerland, interior renovation works are governed by SIA 118 (construction contract) and SIA 243 (tiling). Any load-bearing wall removal or structural modification requires a building permit issued by the municipality. The Code of Obligations (CO art. 371) provides a 5-year warranty for hidden defects. For works touching insulation or technical installations, the cantonal energy regulations (RCEn) apply. It is recommended to use companies that are members of the Swiss Contractors Association (SSE) to guarantee compliance with professional standards.

Budget and tax deductions

Maintenance and renovation costs for a rented property are deductible from taxable income in all French-speaking cantons. For owner-occupiers, maintenance expenses (restoration, painting, like-for-like replacement) are also deductible. Capital improvements that increase the value of the property are, however, not deductible. For significant works, it is possible to spread the deduction over several tax years. Consult a licensed fiduciary to optimise your tax return, especially if you are combining maintenance works and value-adding works on the same project.

Frequently asked questions — Bathroom Renovation

How much does bathroom renovation cost in French-speaking Switzerland?
Indicative prices range from 15000 to 45000 CHF/fixed price depending on the canton and complexity of the project. Geneva and Lausanne tend to be 10–18% above average due to higher living costs. Always request a written quote for your specific project.
How do I find a reliable bathroom renovation professional?
Look for tradespeople with a Swiss federal certificate of competency (CFC) or federal diploma, up-to-date professional liability insurance and verified client reviews. SOS-Travaux.ch pre-vets all partner tradespeople before listing them on the platform.
How long does bathroom renovation typically take?
Duration varies significantly depending on the scope of work. Minor repairs may take a few hours; a full renovation can span several weeks. The tradesperson will provide an estimated timeline in the written quote after assessing your specific project on site.
Are there Swiss government subsidies available?
Yes — the federal and cantonal Buildings Programme offers subsidies for energy efficiency improvements (insulation, heating system replacement with renewables, solar panels). Some cantons and municipalities offer additional incentives. Ask your tradesperson about eligibility before signing the quote.
What warranty applies to the work?
Swiss law (Code of Obligations art. 371) provides a 5-year warranty for construction defects and a 2-year warranty for apparent defects. Ensure this is explicitly mentioned in the contract or accepted quote. Manufacturer warranties on materials and equipment are additional to the legal warranty.
