Bathroom Remodel in Mahahual: waterproofed showers, new plumbing and tile
We remodel bathrooms in Mahahual from the slab up: demolition, new plumbing, full waterproofing, tile, glass and extraction, under one fixed quote. Mahahual is a small Costa Maya village with beach hotels, rentals and houses on the malecón and the road south, where most jobs are repairs, bathrooms, paint and storm recovery; many buildings are wooden or light block structures from the years after Hurricane Dean, and owners usually upgrade them step by step between seasons.
What a Recrea Bathroom Includes
New Plumbing
PPR or PEX supply lines, proper traps and venting, and pressure-tested pipes behind every wall we close.
Tile & Stone
Porcelain, large-format slabs, chukum or natural stone, laid flat with levelling systems and epoxy grout in wet zones.
Ventilation
Ducted extractors sized for the room, because an open window is not enough in 85% humidity.
Water and fittings for a bathroom in Mahahual
Supply is limited and many buildings use cisterns and rainwater, so low-flow fittings and storage are standard, and we often add rainwater collection from the roof to the cistern, with first-flush filters, to keep bathrooms and gardens working in the dry months. That is why we size softeners, filters and pumps with the bathroom, and choose fittings that tolerate scale.
Humidity, salt and finishes in Mahahual
The village is fully exposed to the Caribbean and to hurricanes, so marine-grade metal, strong fixings and hurricane-ready finishes are essential; Hurricane Dean in 2007 flattened much of the village, and today shutters, anchored roofs and stainless hardware are part of every serious job. Grout, paint, extraction and metal fittings are specified for these conditions so the bathroom still looks new after several seasons.
Rules, licences and administration in Mahahual
Licences come from Othón P. Blanco municipality; the coast is under ZOFEMAT and close to the Banco Chinchorro reserve, so exterior works follow environmental limits.
Rentals and scheduling in Mahahual
Cruise-ship days and holidays bring peaks, so works in hotels are planned around them, with noisy tasks on days without ships and the quietest months, September and October, kept for larger renovations.
Materials, crews and access in Mahahual
Mahahual is about four hours from our workshops; we source cement, tile and fittings from Chetumal, about two hours away, bring specialised items from the north in one load and organise multi-day stays with crews lodged in the village.
