Hello,
Since I have always received very good advice and help here, I wanted to ask you again.
The two-family house has been (soon) purchased, and a bathroom is due for renovation.
Unfortunately, the shower cannot be made larger because of the adjacent bathtub.
For this reason, a similar shower enclosure as it currently is would need to be installed there.
Does this type have a specific name?
It’s a bit difficult to explain. The side facing the bathtub ends at the top of the tub, and the second part extends to the shower tray. Therefore, I am attaching a photo.
Maybe someone has a tip.
Best regards

knalltüte27 Mar 2021 21:38An important tip for timber frame constructions and bathrooms on the first floor: try to include a waterproof "black tank" (made of bitumen) as part of the renovation. This can be done well as a DIY project and protects the rest of the house below from any potential moisture, such as unexpected flooding, etc. (which, of course, should never occur).

For completely standard 30x30cm (12x12 inches), 30x60cm (12x24 inches) tiles, etc.
I think we will politely decline the offer.

knalltüte28 Mar 2021 20:23Hello, with the estimated hourly wages, that would be about 8-10 working days. Since tiling a bathroom is considerably more complex than tiling a square living room, this could well be realistic. It's probably also influenced by the ongoing shortage of available tilers.
I would also consider getting a second quote. Try to agree on a reasonable flat rate price (fair for both parties), including the materials you have already selected - and that’s it 😎 (if you can find a tiler willing to do it that way).

rennschnecke28 Mar 2021 20:27The working time would be 5 days. I find 140 euros per square meter (about $150 per square yard) a bit ambitious. But yes, a second quote will be obtained.
Only the tiles will be provided as materials. The rest can be brought by the tiler, as they know best which materials will achieve good results.
Attached are some photos of the bathroom.
