Private rooms
Tile, plumbing, lighting and custom vanities finished to a standard clients describe as art on the floor — in master suites, secondary baths and accessible conversions.
The approach
A bathroom is the least forgiving room in a house. Every surface meets another surface, waterproofing is invisible until it fails, and tile setting shows every millimetre of a bad substrate.
That is why Delpa runs baths as sequenced work rather than a race: substrate and waterproofing done properly, layout set before the first tile is cut, plumbing and lighting positioned around the fixtures rather than the other way round. Clients tend to mention the floor first.
What the work covers
Every item below is handled by Delpa rather than handed to a chain of separate contractors you have to manage yourself.
Old finishes removed, subfloor and framing assessed, and any hidden water damage addressed before rebuilding.
Shower pans, walls and wet areas properly waterproofed, then tiled with layout planned to the room rather than the box.
Supply and drain work, valve placement, and installation of tubs, showers, toilets and fittings.
Custom or supplied vanities, counters, mirrors, medicine storage and finished carpentry.
Circuits, vanity and shower lighting, and exhaust ventilation sized and vented correctly.

The Delpa sequence
A free consultation covers who uses the room, what fails about it now and whether accessibility is a factor.
Layout, tile, fixtures and vanity are selected, and the quote is written to cover the agreed scope.
The house is protected, demolition is contained, and substrate and waterproofing are done before any finish goes on.
Grout, caulk, fittings and hardware are detailed, everything is tested, then the site gets a full clean.
Before you call
A straightforward bath that keeps its layout is a matter of weeks; moving plumbing, changing the shower footprint or discovering water damage behind the old tile extends it. Delpa sets out the realistic sequence at the consultation, including the days the room is genuinely unusable.
Yes — it is one of the most requested projects, both for style and for people planning to stay in a home longer. It involves the drain, the pan, waterproofing and often the framing, so it is scoped properly before it is quoted.
Yes. Curbless showers, grab bar blocking, wider doorways, comfort-height fixtures and slip-resistant surfaces are regular work. Accessibility modifications are part of the standing service list, not a special request.
It happens often in older houses, and it is exactly the moment homeowners tell us they felt heard rather than upsold. The damage is shown to you, the options are explained, and the repair is priced before anyone proceeds.
Yes, and sequencing them together often makes sense — shared plumbing walls, one mobilisation, one set of material orders. Delpa will usually stage them so the household keeps at least one working bathroom throughout.
Yes. The first visit is a practical assessment of the room and the scope, at no charge and with no obligation.
