Bathroom / kitchen renovation in Ibiza
A tired bathroom in a Figueretes flat, a kitchen that has to feed a rental villa in Cala Vedella all summer, or a finca wet room that still runs off a cistern: bathroom and kitchen renovations in Ibiza come with their own constraints. Hard water, salt air, deliveries from the mainland and a short low-season window all shape how the job should be planned.

Typical bathroom and kitchen projects in Ibiza
The most common request is a like-for-like refresh: new tiles, sanitaryware, taps and a shower tray instead of a bath, without moving walls. Next come holiday-rental kitchens that need to survive a season of weekly changeovers, with hard-wearing worktops, appliances sized for eight guests and proper extraction. Fincas bring their own brief: a bathroom fitted inside thick stone walls, a kitchen that respects sabina beams, and plumbing that still depends on a cistern or a well. And in Eivissa and Santa Eulària, many owners combine the two rooms in one job to open the kitchen onto the living area. When walls, electrics and floors all move, the project is closer to a full home renovation.
What affects the price
Several factors move a quote far more than the size of the room. Whether the layout changes, because relocating drains and water supply means opening floors. The quality of tiles, stone and sanitaryware, and where they ship from. Whether the electrics need a new circuit for an induction hob or an extractor, which usually involves an electrician. The state of what lies underneath: old lead or galvanised pipes, no waterproofing under the existing tiles, or damp in a stone wall. Access also counts, as a third-floor flat in Dalt Vila without a lift is a very different job from a ground-floor villa in Sant Jordi. Finally, bespoke joinery and integrated appliances add both cost and lead time.
Permits and rules to anticipate
Replacing fittings and finishes without altering structure or layout generally falls under a licencia de obra menor from the town hall. Moving load-bearing walls, changing the façade for a new window or altering the use of a room requires a licencia de obra mayor and a signed project. In Dalt Vila and in catalogued fincas heritage approval may be required even for interior work, and suelo rústico carries stricter conditions. If the property has a tourist-rental licence (ETV), keep the number of bedrooms and bathrooms consistent with what is registered, and make sure the finished rooms still satisfy the cédula de habitabilidad.
How to choose a contractor on the island
Look for photos of finished bathrooms and kitchens in Ibiza, with the before and after. Ask for proof of liability insurance and business registration. Request a written quote broken into phases: demolition, plumbing and electrics, waterproofing, tiling, fitting, finishing, with materials listed separately so you can compare like with like. Ask how they handle waterproofing behind the shower and around the tray, how they deal with low water pressure from a cistern, and which stainless-steel or treated fittings they recommend against hard water and salt air. For a rental, ask them to plan the plumbing so a future leak can be isolated without closing the whole house. If you manage from abroad, agree photo updates and a single contact.
Timing and seasonality
Most bathroom and kitchen work on the island happens between November and April. Rentals and villas are occupied in summer, and several town halls restrict noisy works in tourist zones during the season. Kitchens, stone and specialist sanitaryware are often shipped from the mainland or Mallorca, so order early and agree delivery dates before demolition starts. A kitchen chosen in September has a fair chance of being installed before Easter; one chosen in January is tight.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a permit to renovate a bathroom or kitchen in Ibiza?
In most cases yes, even for a simple refit. Work that replaces finishes and fittings without touching structure or layout usually needs a licencia de obra menor from your town hall. If you move walls, open a window or change the use of a room, a licencia de obra mayor and a signed project are required. Ask your contractor who prepares the paperwork before signing.
How do I deal with hard water and salt air when choosing fittings?
Ibiza water is hard and coastal properties get salt-laden air, so budget for quality. Choose stainless-steel or good-quality chrome taps, ceramic cartridges, and treated or marine-grade timber for cabinets near windows. A water softener or at least an inline filter protects boilers, showers and appliances. Ask the contractor which brands they have seen last in local rentals.
My finca runs off a cistern. Will a new shower work properly?
It can, but the plumber needs to plan for it. Gravity-fed cisterns rarely give enough pressure for modern rain showers and thermostatic mixers, so a pressure pump, correct pipe sizing and a tank check are usually part of the job. Mention the cistern in your request so quotes include it rather than discovering it on site.
Can I renovate a rental kitchen between two seasons?
Yes, and it is the normal way to do it. Plan for a low-season window between November and April, choose appliances sized for your guest capacity, and order the kitchen well in advance because most units ship from the mainland or Mallorca. Confirm that the works do not affect what is declared under your tourist-rental licence.
What should a good bathroom quote include?
A phased breakdown: removal and disposal, plumbing and electrics, waterproofing, tiling with the type and area, sanitaryware and taps listed by model, fitting and finishing, plus who supplies each material. It should state whether the permit paperwork is included, the planned duration and how variations are priced. A quote that gives one figure with no detail makes comparison impossible.
