How to Track Your Bathroom Renovation Progress with an App — and Why We Built It
The question we get most often during an active renovation has nothing to do with tiles. It’s “how’s mine coming along?”. For years, the industry’s answer has been some variation of “all good, no need to worry” — which tells you precisely nothing. The ability to track your bathroom renovation progress with an app exists to kill that non-answer: a dashboard where you open your browser and see the exact phase your bathroom is in, today’s photos, the updated schedule and how much you’ve paid. No phone calls. No waiting for someone to pick up on a Friday afternoon.
We say this with genuine self-criticism: we used to give that same “all good” answer ourselves. We built the dashboard because we got tired of transparency being a sales promise rather than a piece of data you could actually check. If we sell a fixed price, the logical next step is selling fixed visibility — so you know at every moment where your money and your bathroom are.
What You See When You Log In
The panel isn’t decoration. Each section answers a specific question a real client asks themselves during the three or four weeks a typical bathroom renovation in Valencia takes to complete.
| Dashboard section | What it answers | How often it updates |
|---|---|---|
| Phase timeline | Where exactly is my renovation right now? | When each phase closes |
| Daily photos | What actually happened in my bathroom today? | Every active working day |
| Deadline calendar | When does it finish, and what’s still outstanding? | In real time if anything shifts |
| Payment status | How much have I paid and what remains? | After each billed milestone |
| Messages with your technician | Who do I ask without chasing anyone? | Continuously |
| Documents | Where are my contract, guarantee and invoices? | As each document is generated |
The phase timeline is the backbone. A bathroom renovation is not a black box that a new bathroom pops out of — it’s a sequence of measurable stages. Demolition, plumbing and electrics, waterproofing, tiling, sanitary ware, finishing touches. Each one gets a green tick when it closes. We set all of this out in our step-by-step renovation guide, and the dashboard is that same guide turned into something that blinks on your screen.
Daily Photos: The Data Point People Look at Most
People look at everything, but the photos get the most attention. That makes sense. A photo of the waterproofing membrane before the tiles go up is proof that the work nobody sees has actually been done — and in a bathroom, the invisible work is exactly what matters most. Once someone covers the membrane with porcelain, there’s no way of knowing whether it’s there or not. The photo knows. That invisible layer is what determines whether you’ve got a leak problem in two years’ time, as we explain in our technical guide to bathroom waterproofing.
Why Opacity Is Still the Industry Default (and Why That’s Wrong)
To be direct: the industry doesn’t hide renovation progress out of malice — it hides it out of habit. Showing progress means having progress properly documented, and documenting it takes effort. “All good” is far easier than daily photo uploads. But that convenience gets paid for by the client in anxiety.
The data backs this up. According to the INE, Spanish household spending on home maintenance and repair has been rising for years, and the renovation sector handles a volume of minor works that largely escapes any kind of documentary trail. It’s no coincidence that renovations consistently rank among the most common grounds for consumer complaints recorded by organisations like the OCU — where there’s no paper trail, there’s conflict. When that much money changes hands without traceability, trust becomes an act of faith. We’d rather it be an act of verification.
The dashboard disciplines us too, and that’s a good thing. If the client can see that we haven’t uploaded a photo in two days, they will ask. That healthy pressure means we can’t hide behind an unanswered phone. Radical transparency works in both directions or it isn’t radical.
What the Dashboard Does NOT Do (Because That Needs Saying)
We’re not going to sell you the idea that an app renovates your bathroom. An app keeps you informed; the bathroom gets done by people with a float and a spirit level. The dashboard won’t speed up the drying time of tile adhesive, and it won’t stop a 1925 Ruzafa tenement from throwing up a soil stack exactly where it shouldn’t be. What it does do is ensure that when that surprise happens, you see it the same day — with a photo, and with its impact on timeline and cost laid out clearly — rather than finding out when the final invoice arrives.
It doesn’t replace the technician either. Some decisions — a tile change, an unexpected structural issue — need a conversation, not a screen tap. The panel organises information so that conversation is short and useful, not so it never happens. Anyone who promises you a 100% automated renovation is selling you very pretty smoke.
How It Fits with the Fixed Price
This is the point that matters most to us. Tracking your renovation progress via an app and the fixed price are the same philosophy with two faces. The fixed price tells you what you’re going to pay before anything starts; the dashboard proves you’re getting something real for that payment, phase by phase. One without the other limps: a fixed price without visibility is blind trust, and visibility without a fixed price is watching your bill climb in real time. Together they’re what we mean by doing the job properly, which is why we stand firmly behind the fixed price over the traditional open-ended quote.
If you want to see the other end of the chain — the starting point — our configurator gives you the fixed price for your specific bathroom in a few minutes, and from there the dashboard takes over on the day the work begins.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to install an app to track my renovation?
No. The tracking works from your mobile browser with a link and personal access credentials. Nothing to download, nothing taking up storage space. You open it the same way you would open your online banking.
How often are photos uploaded?
Every day that there is active work in your bathroom. If there’s no activity on a given day — because the waterproofing needs time to cure, for example — the calendar reflects that, so you don’t read silence as a delay.
Can I see how much I’ve paid and what’s left?
Yes. The payment section shows every billed milestone and the outstanding balance. Because we sell a fixed price, that total doesn’t move unless you decide to make a change — and any change is documented in the panel before it’s carried out.
What if I notice something odd in a photo?
That’s what the message channel with your technician is for, right inside the panel. You ask without having to track anyone down by phone, and there’s a written record of what was answered. If you’d rather talk it through in person, you can reach us via contact.
Does this make the renovation more expensive?
No. The dashboard is part of how we work, not a bolt-on extra that gets billed separately. Transparency isn’t a premium option — it’s the minimum owed to someone who’s trusting you with their home and their money. You can see the kind of bathrooms people configure and then track through our designs.
In Summary
Being able to track your bathroom renovation progress with an app isn’t a tech gimmick — it’s the honest answer to “how’s mine coming along?”, a question the industry has been sidestepping for decades with a mumbled “all good”. Measurable phases, daily photos, payments in plain sight and a calendar that doesn’t lie. It doesn’t make the renovation faster, and it doesn’t eliminate the surprises that old Valencian buildings specialise in — but it does remove the anxiety of not knowing, and it removes our option to hide. For a brand that sells a fixed price, that’s not a nice-to-have. It’s basic coherence.
